Air filters are devices for cleaning the air flow from dust and other particles that may be present in ventilation systems. They are an important element in protecting human health and the environment from harmful impurities in the air that may arise during the operation of industrial equipment.
Air filters are used in various fields, including industry, buildings, transportation, medical institutions, etc. They are also widely used in offices and homes to create a comfortable and healthy living environment.
An air filter is a technical device designed to capture dust in ventilation and air conditioning systems. Filtration of air masses is necessary to maintain clean air space, as well as to provide a comfortable living environment for people. Air filters are widely used in buildings for various purposes - from residential buildings to industrial enterprises.
The principle of operation of the filter is through the surface deposition of dust on the surface of the filter elements. Contaminated air passes through the inlet air channel of the filter, where it is cleaned of mechanical impurities through the processes of microfiltration and coarse filtration. The purified air stream is then pushed out through the air duct outlet compartment. The effectiveness of the filtering action depends on the properties and properties of the filter materials, which may include polyester or paper fiber materials, glass fibers, diatomaceous earth, polymer fibers, etc. Different filter models differ in type, thickness and number of air channels.
Most often, air filters are used in supply air systems as a finishing step before supplying air directly to the ventilated premises. In such systems, air flows go through up to three stages of filtration - coarse, micro- and nanofiltration. The use of filters can significantly reduce the amount of dust and bacteria hazardous to health. If dust cleaning is necessary indoors, the most effective solution would be to install ducted air ducts with filters, which will clean the air before it enters the room. One of the most important components of effective filter operation is its timely replacement. The service life of the filter is primarily determined by local climatic conditions. The presence of dust particles in the air can greatly reduce the effectiveness of the filter and even lead to its failure. Therefore, it is important to regularly check the ventilation system and set recommended times for replacing air filters. In addition, damage and wear to filters can occur as a result of prolonged downtime and
