Panel filters, is air filters used in various applications to ensure clean and healthy air by removing particulates, dust, and contaminants. Here’s a detailed overview of each type:
Panel filters are the most basic type of air filter, often used in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. They are typically flat and framed in a rigid material.
| Construction |
| Made with a flat, pleated filter media enclosed in a frame (often cardboard or metal). |
| The media can be made from various materials like fiberglass, synthetic fibers, or polyester. |
| Efficiency |
| Particle Retention: Generally low to moderate efficiency for capturing larger particles such as dust, lint, and pollen. |
| Micron Rating: Typically captures particles down to 5-10 microns, though some high-efficiency panels can capture smaller particles |
| Applications |
| Used in residential HVAC systems, office buildings, and light industrial environments where high-efficiency filtration is not critical. |
| Suitable for general air quality improvement. |
| Maintenance |
| Typically replaced every 1-3 months, depending on usage and environment. |
