Typical HVAC System and Its Application

To ensure proper protection of people's health, air filters in HVAC systems need to operate at higher efficiency. Therefore, it is particularly important that filters at all levels and their filter materials comply with relevant standards and guidelines in this regard. The filters and their materials used in the system must ensure that the levels of indoor dust, bacteria, fungi, and biological components do not exceed those in the outdoor air.

To achieve the required indoor air quality, our multi-stage filter material solutions have been developed. Regarding Primary Filterfabric, we have multiple products for different application environments. As the primary filtration stage in HVAC systems, it is mainly used to remove 5 μm – 10 μm dust particles.

Professional Advice

Choosing the type of primary filter fabric requires considering the specific requirements and conditions of the working environment. To ensure you can efficiently select the most suitable product, we will recommend the best product type based on your actual application and provide full-process technical support.

  • First, the grades of primary filter fabric include G1, G2, G3, and G4. The higher the grade, the higher the filter rating. For environments with high cleanliness requirements, you can choose a slightly higher efficiency primary filter fabric. Conversely, you can choose a conventional primary filter fabric.
  • Secondly, consider the dust concentration. In environments with high dust concentration, it is advisable to choose multi-layer filter materials to improve their service life; in low dust concentration environments, you can choose thin, economical filter fabric.
  • In environments with high humidity, high temperature, and chemical corrosion, the filter material needs special treatment to achieve the desired performance.
  • Additionally, cost and service life. In situations where repeated use is required, washable filter fabric can be chosen to reduce replacement costs.
