Air Filter Sellection Criteria

The following questions should be considered when selecting an appropriate air

filter for your system.

Application:
It should be well considered that where and what the filters will used for. It should
be a general air conditioning system for general purpose or it should be a
hospital where high quality air is needed.

Specifications of the contaminants that need to separated:

Charecteristic such as size and type of contaminants that the filter is required to deal with are major factors
in the suitability and sustainability of sellected filter.

Filtration efficiency that is required:

Efficiency of the filter is one of the important criteria that should be well considered. In order to avoid high
pressure drop and energy consumption suitable efficiency should be sellected for the enviroment.

Environmental Conditions:
Within each of our product ranges each individual filter should have been designed for specific purpose or
specific environmental conditions. Factors that the filter will be effected such as tempetature, humidty,
corrosion, etc., should be well considered.

Will the filter need to be incinerated at the end of its life?

If the filter is being used to separate toxic or harmful substances then it will typically have to be destroyed
through incineration. In this case, ensure that you select a filter which can be incinerated easily.

What level of pressure drop is acceptable?

For certain applications a filter’s pressure drop is vitally important to the entire system's performance.
Suitable filter with acceptable pressure drop should be selected for your systems.

Dust holding capacity of the filter

Filter selection should be done according to dust quantity that the filter will be exposed. With dust holding
capacity a filter should has a long service life.

What size of filter do you require?

A suitable filter which has all the specification should be in optimum dimensions. Meanwhile standart size
filters has price advantace and short delievery period compared to custom size filters.

Filter Housing:
Housing and replacement of the filter should be considered very carefully before the filter will be selected .

+ HEPA Filter Leakage Test

The test according to “IEST-RP-CC034: HEPA And ULPA Filter Leak Tests” standard which is performed after
the montage of HEPA filters by using photometer and aerosol generator (with PAO poly-alpha olefin liquid) to
control whether there is leakage on filter surface, gasket and cabinet within acceptance criteria defined in the
