Compared to other air filters, a panel filter uses a negative pressure system to clean the air of different particles that range from 1 micron up to 50 microns. By capturing various contaminants from the air, panel filters also provide protection of the internal parts of the equipment and the entire system.
When utilized in housing vents, they can help prolong the service life of the machine and improve air quality of the units in both domestic and industrial environments. When it comes to impurities that panel filters can trap, they vary and usually include pollen, dust, dirt, mould spores, mites, textile and carpet fibers, legionella, auto exhaust particles, spray paint dust, nebulizer droplets, and pet fur. So, how does a panel filter do its job?
How does a panel filter work?
The fan sucks in the air into the filter element via negative pressure. Once the air passes the surface of the filtration unit, the filter now works by applying different mechanisms to remove the impurities and clean the air. Then through the sieve effects, the panel filter traps particles that are bigger than the pore size of the filter element. These particles are then brought into the filter, hit, and stick on the threads through inertial mass effect.
Smaller or lighter particles proceed to the filter medium and then remove these tiny particles from the air and traps them via the diffusion process. While inside the filter element, the particles are getting in contact with each other, reducing their flow speed which further increases their chances to be captured by the filter.
Why use a panel filter?
A panel filtration system is mainly responsible for providing high quality indoor air as well as protecting the equipment’s sensitive parts. Apart from these facts, by using a panel filter, you don’t have to spend additional money on replacement filters.
