Everything You Need to Know About Mechanical Air Filters

Mechanical air filters are an essential component in most HVAC systems, providing cleaner air to employees in commercial buildings, students in schools, workers in factories, patients in hospitals, and more.

In this article, air filtration experts from Camfil explain the critical role of mechanical air filters in a variety of applications, discuss how air filtration efficiency is measured and published, explore the main types of mechanical air filters, and provide tips for choosing the best mechanical air filter for your building.

What Are Mechanical Air Filters?

The fabric portion of an air filter is a non-woven fabric constructed of various fiber sizes intertwined together in a random pattern to create a three-dimensional structure known as filter media. As air works its way through the maze of fibers, particles are captured and removed by well-established mechanical filtration principles, allowing cleaner air to exit on the downstream side of the air filter.

Particulate pollution, or particulate matter, is a term used to describe any solid or liquid particles suspended in the airstream. While the composition of particulate matter varies widely between different environments, small enough particles are known to be harmful to the human body, including the heart, lungs, brain, nervous system, and other vital organs and processes.

Filter Efficiency: HEPA, ULPA, and MERV Ratings

Not all mechanical air filters provide the same protection. The efficiency of a filter is...
