The brief manufacturer or product profiles below are intended to help consumers do just that. Honeywell’s Whole-House HEPA Air Cleaner provides a powerful, three-stage filtration process to deliver the cleanest air. The three-stage filter system includes activated carbon, pre-filter and HEPA filter.
There are many different kinds of air filters available today, such as HEPA, standard, pleated, electrostatic and electronic filters. Standard Air Filters, having the capacity of removing 10 percent of the airborne pollutants, are made of spun fiberglass with cardboard frames. Electrostatic filters use filter media, which use an electric charge to attract the dirt particles in the air.
They are mainly used in devices where the purity of air is the major factor of operation, such as, ventilation systems, combustion engines, compressors, turbines and the air conditioners. A filter based hepa air purifier usually have a pre-filter that helps prolonging the life of the filter by capturing larger particles like dust. House air filters are very necessary in hospitals where patients suffering from wheezing and asthma have to be in a very pure environment free of dust, else their problem could aggravate. Even fibers and elements that have static electric charge are used as air filters.
The popular ones out of these and which can be used to remove air pollutants from air conditioners are the standard, pleated and electrostatic filters. It must be changed once every month. About 35% to 40% of airborne contaminants is usually captured by pleated air filters. You will be expected to part with between $5 to $20 in order to get these filters and this is slightly more than that of standard filters.
