HEPA FILTER (H13) (SEPARATOR) [IMPORTED]

CERTIFICATES ARE AVAILABLE

Filter Type: It’s an air filter designed to capture a very high percentage of airborne particles.

H13 Rating: The “H13” designation refers to its specific filtration efficiency according to European standards (EN 1822-1). An H13 HEPA filter is typically rated to remove at least 99.95% of particles with a size of 0.3 micrometers (µm). This includes dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and even some bacteria and viruses.

Construction: HEPA filters are usually made of a mat of randomly arranged fibers, often fiberglass. The fibers are pleated to increase the surface area and framed within a rigid housing (which appears to be visible in the image).

Mechanism: They work through a combination of three mechanisms:

• Impaction: Larger particles collide with and stick to the fibers.
• Interception: Particles follow the air flow, but touch a fiber and stick to it.
• Diffusion: Very small particles move erratically and are more likely to collide with fibers.

Applications: HEPA filters are widely used in:

• Medical Facilities: Hospitals, operating rooms, cleanrooms, and laboratories.
• Pharmaceutical and Electronics Manufacturing: To prevent contamination.
• Residential and Commercial HVAC Systems: For superior air purification, especially for allergy sufferers or in areas with high pollution.
• Air Purifiers: Standalone units designed to clean indoor air.
