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.
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
