What is a HEPA Filter?
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are specialized pleated mechanical air filters that capture up to 99.97% of airborne contaminants, as small as 0.3 microns. In addition, they are among the most effective filtration systems, capable of capturing particles invisible to the naked eye.
How HEPA Filters Work
HEPA filters use a dense web of glass or fibers, arranged in pleats, trapping contaminants like dust, pollen, and bacteria through three primary mechanisms. Each method targets different particle size that ensures comprehensive purification.
Inertial impaction: trap larger particles.
Interception: trap mid-sized particles.
Diffusion: capture Nanoparticles that range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers.
