Carbon Charcoal Filters
Carbon Charcoal Filters
Activated carbon filters are small pieces of carbon, typically in granular or powdered block form, that have been treated to be extremely porous. It is so cavernous, in fact, that just one gram of activated carbon can easily have a surface area of 500m2 or higher. A vast surface area enables these carbon filters to adsorb exponentially more contaminants and allergens than traditional carbon.
Carbon filters also help eliminate unpleasant odors so your indoor air remains fresh. Used together, activated carbon and HEPA filters can trap 99.97% of small particles 0.3 microns and higher as well as most larger particles, especially spores. Contaminated air enters the filtration system, passes through the active carbon, undergoes adsorption, and leaves the filter purified.
Activated carbon filters are an important addition to any air purification system. They can be used alone or in conjunction with other filters to significantly reduce the amount of impurities in your home or office.
