High volume HEPA filter

High volume HEPA filter description

A high volume HEPA filter is a type of air filtration system that uses a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to remove particles and contaminants from the air. HEPA filters are designed to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns in diameter, which includes bacteria, viruses, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens.

High volume HEPA filters are typically used in commercial and industrial settings where large volumes of air need to be filtered, such as hospitals, schools, office buildings, and manufacturing facilities. They can also be installed in residential homes to improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of allergies and respiratory illnesses.

High volume HEPA filters are made up of multiple layers of pleated media that trap particles as they pass through the filter. The more layers there are, the higher the efficiency of the filter at removing particles. Some high volume HEPA filters have up to 12 layers of media, which can effectively remove over 99% of all airborne particles.

In addition to their ability to remove particles, high volume HEPA filters also help to reduce the amount of static electricity in the air, which can cause static cling on clothing and hair. This makes them especially useful in areas where people wear uniforms or work with sensitive electronics.
