HEPA filters are a type of mechanical air filter that use a fine mesh to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns in size. According to the United States Department of Energy (DOE), for a filter to be considered a genuine HEPA filter, it must be certified to remove 99.97% of all microscopic particles of this size. The air passes through the filter, trapping pollutants and particulates, and clean air is returned to the living space. Additionally, HEPA filters can capture volatile organic compounds and gases. Smart Air is a certified B company that is devoted to providing affordable air purifiers.
It's essential to take into account the purchase price of an air purifier, as well as operating costs and filter replacement costs. Some air purifiers use ionizers to attract particles, such as static negative ions, that adhere to dust and allergens and cause them to settle in the air. When you buy HEPA filters, you don't buy the HEPA brand, but rather a type of filter that meets the HEPA standards. Air purifiers can help reduce the risks posed by indoor air pollution, but not all purifiers are equally effective and many don't live up to their marketing expectations. HEPA is an official government and industry standard (not related to consumption) defined by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). There are also European standards (if you see a filter with a similar classification to H13 or U16, it means that the European standard is being used).Diffusion occurs in a HEPA filter when gas molecules that are smaller than 0.1 microns in size bump into each other and slow down while passing through the filter.
All ISO-Air models come equipped with a HEPA filter, as well as two additional levels of air purification technology, including ozone-free bipolar ionization and the UVC germicide. It's important to remember that any filter that uses the name HEPA doesn't have to go through any DOE certification. HEPA filters are pleated mechanical air filters that have a considerable thickness to capture particles. They usually promote a clean air supply rate (CADR), or the rate at which air flows through the filter. When it comes to selecting an air purifier, it's essential to consider all aspects of its performance. The most important factor is how well it can remove airborne particles from your home or office.
A good quality HEPA filter should be able to remove 99.97% of particles from the air, including dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, and other allergens. In conclusion, HEPA filters are an effective way to reduce indoor air pollution and improve your overall health. They are designed to capture microscopic particles from the air and provide clean air for your home or office. Smart Air is committed to providing affordable air purifiers with genuine HEPA filters that meet all DOE standards.
