Benefit And Uses Of Hospital Hepa Filters
2
HEPA filters have revolutionized the world of air
purifiers for most allergy sufferers. HEPA
(High-Efficiency Particulate Air filter) filters
were designed to remove at least 99.97 of
airborne particles down to 0.3 microns in size
which are the most difficult particles to filter.
3
With this percent of particle reduction, it's not
hard to see why so many people suffering from
allergies benefit greatly by the use of one.
Allergy sufferers can rest assured that the
airborne contaminants in their air are being
removed thus relieving allergy symptoms and
allowing for a better quality of life within the
home.
4
To better understand this type of filter, take a
closer look at their technology and make-up. HEPA
filters are composed of a mat of randomly
arranged fibres. This random arrangement of
fibers allows for more particles to be trapped
within them.
5
The filter uses three different methods to
capture particles down to 0.3 microns in size
impaction, interception and diffusion. Impaction
is when larger particles are simply unable to
avoid the fibers and thus are forced to embed
themselves into one directly.
6
This effect increases with higher air flow and
smaller fiber separation. Interception occurs
when particulates, following the flow of air,
come within close proximity to a fiber and adhere
to it.
7
Diffusion is an enhancing mechanism that is the
result of the collision with gas molecules, by
the smallest particles, which are thereby impeded
and delayed in their path through the filter.
This action increases the chances that a particle
will be stopped by any of the above mentioned
methods.
8
With these three levels of screenings is it easy
to see how 99.97 of particles down to 0.3
microns in size are captured and held within this
incredible filter that has been around for years.
9
The HEPA filter has a long history of use and
research- another reason why allergy sufferers
can be confident that by purchasing one, their
symptoms will become less severe or even
non-existent.
10
The first of these filters was designed in the
1940's and was initially used to prevent the
spread of airborne radioactive contaminants. The
filter was commercialized in the 1950's, and the
name became a registered trademark in the
business along with a generic name for any highly
efficient air filter.
11
Over the years, the filters have evolved to
accommodate the constant demands for better air
quality in various technologies, such as
pharmaceutical processing, hospitals, aerospace,
nuclear power and computer chipping.
12
Today, a HEPA filter rating is applicable to any
highly efficient air filter that can attain the
same filter efficiency performance standards as
the ones mentioned above. They must be able to
remove 99.97 of particles down to 0.3 microns in
size.
13
The United States Department of Energy has
specific requirements for the filters in
regulated applications and mentions that products
claiming to be 'HEPA-like' or '99 HEPA' do not
satisfy these requirements so please be wary.
