Air Filters


The function of an air filter is to reduce the concentration of solid particles in the airstream to a level that can be tolerated by the process or space occupancy purpose.  Solid particles in the airstream range in size from 0.01 micrometer to objects that can be caught by ordinary fly screens, such as lint, feathers, and insects. The particles generally include soot, ash, soil, lint, and smoke, but may include almost any organic or inorganic material, even bacteria and mold spores. This wide variety of airborne contaminants, added to the diversity of systems in which air filters are used, makes it impossible to have one type that is best for all applications.
