Plated Air Filter

At Afility Industrial Filters Pvt. Ltd., A plated air filter, also known as an electrostatic air filter or an electronic air filter, is a type of air filtration system used to improve indoor air quality by capturing airborne particles and contaminants. Unlike traditional disposable filters that rely on mechanical methods to trap particles, plated air filters use electrostatic principles to attract and capture particles as they pass through the filter.

The construction of a plated air filter typically involves multiple layers of metal plates, usually made from aluminum, that are spaced apart to create a series of charged zones. These plates are often coated with a dielectric material to enhance their ability to hold an electrical charge. As air flows through the filter, particles within the air become charged due to the friction caused by the air passing through the charged plates. These charged particles are then attracted to the oppositely charged plates, effectively sticking to the plates and removing them from the air stream.

Advantages

Efficiency : Plated filters can capture smaller particles, including allergens, dust, pet dander, and some bacteria, that might pass through traditional filters. This can lead to improved indoor air quality.

Reusable and Long-lasting: Unlike disposable filters that need regular replacement, plated filters can be washed and reused. With proper maintenance, they can last for many years, making them a cost-effective option in the long run.

Low Air ResistanceLow Air Resistance: Plated filters usually have a lower pressure drop compared to some high-efficiency mechanical filters. This means that they allow air to flow more freely, reducing strain on HVAC systems.

Less WasteLess Waste: The reusability of plated air filters reduces the amount of waste generated by disposable filters, making them an environmentally friendly choice

FAQs

How does a plated air filter work?

Plated air filters work by forcing air through a series of plates or pleats that are coated or treated with filter media. As air passes through these plates, particles such as dust, pollen, and allergens are trapped on the filter surface, allowing clean air to pass through.

Are plated air filters washable and reusable?

Yes, many plated air filters are designed to be washable and reusable. You can clean them by rinsing with water, letting them dry thoroughly, and then reinserting them into your HVAC system. This feature can help reduce waste and save on filter replacement costs.

Do plated air filters improve indoor air quality?

Yes, plated air filters can significantly improve indoor air quality by capturing a wide range of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and even some bacteria and viruses, depending on the filter's efficiency rating.
