Roles of air filters!
Removal of airborne particles
Air filters are effective in removing dust, pollen, smoke, bacteria, viruses, mould spores and other tiny particles from the air. These particles can be harmful to the respiratory system and overall health if they remain in the air for long periods of time.
Improving Indoor Air Quality
In indoor environments, air filters significantly improve indoor air quality by filtering out airborne pollutants. This helps reduce respiratory illnesses, allergic reactions, and other health problems associated with air quality.
Protecting equipment and products
In certain industrial environments, air filters are used to protect sensitive equipment and products from dust and particulate matter. For example, in semiconductor manufacturing and precision machining, tiny particles can cause product defects or equipment failure.
Preventing cross-contamination
In healthcare environments, air filters are used to prevent cross-contamination between patients and between patients and healthcare workers. High efficiency air filters (HEPA) are commonly used in operating theatres, isolation wards and laboratories to maintain a sterile environment.
Extending Equipment Life
In data centres, server rooms and other electronic equipment-intensive environments, air filters help to reduce dust build-up, which extends the life of electronic equipment and reduces failure rates.
Control ambient humidity and temperature
Some air filters are also equipped with humidity and temperature control features to help maintain a comfortable and stable indoor environment.
Reducing Air Pollution
Air filters are used to protect the environment from pollution by reducing the emission of hazardous substances into the air in industrial emissions and exhaust gas treatment.
