HEPA Air purifier

HEPA, is an acronym for high-efficient particulate arrestor. It is a high-performance mechanical filter that helps in removing almost 99.97% of particulate matter of 2.5 size. The main components of this air purifier are impact, interception and diffusion. HEPA air purifiers can trap the carcinogenic particles like dust mites, pollens, pet dander, mold spores, and cigarette smoke.

The HEPA filters work in an intensive four-step process, like in the Vollara products. Every step is responsible for removing some air particles and collectively as a unit, it can remove 99.97% of indoor air pollutants.

 

  1. The pre-filtration process: These act as the first line of defense. They trap and remove large particulate matters with high-efficiency. They increase the lifecycle of the air cleaner as well. Particles like sand, cobwebs, large dust, human, or pet hair and debris are removed from the air in this process.

 

  1. The specially treated carbon filter: The carbon filter is designed to possess a high-grade absorption value. The activated carbon in this filter has very high absorption capacity to trap the pollutants. This also increases the lifespan of the next HEPA filter. They remove particulates such as VOC, odor/foul smell, gases such as oxides of sulphide sox, formaldehyde, hydrocarbons, and hydrogen sulphide.

 

  1. HEPA filter: this is one of them most important processes in the air purification. It can trap PM 2.5 SPM which are really very small as 0.3 microns and have an efficiency of trapping 99% of the containers. They also trap the indoor carcinogens such as PM 2.5 particulates like pollens, allergens, mold, fine dust, and cigarette smoke.

 

  1. Air ionizers: these ionizers discharge electrically charged ions mixed with fresh air which sticks to the particles present in the air.
