Pre Filter Of HVAC Systems
Pre Filter Of HVAC Systems It is also a kind of air filter. We also call it primary effect air filter. There are four main styles of primary effect filter: plate type, folding type, bag type, and box type. The outer frame materials include paper frame, aluminum frame, Galvanized iron frame, stainless steel frame, filter materials include non-woven fabric, nylon mesh, activated carbon filter cotton, metal mesh, etc., protective net includes double-sided spray-coated wire mesh and double-sided galvanized wire mesh.
Because of its low price, light weight, good versatility, and compact structure, primary filter is widely used in central air conditioning and centralized ventilation system filtration; large air compressor filtration; clean return air system; and pre-filtration of high-efficiency filtration devices.
Primary-effect filters are mainly divided into pleated primary-effect filters and bag-type primary-effect filters according to their structures.
Features of the pleated primary filter: It uses high-quality polyester synthetic fiber as the filter material, and the pleated folding structure greatly increases the effective filtration area.
Strong and stable structure, balanced spacing
The double rib design ensures the filter's contoured pleat shape, allowing the filter to achieve the maximum dust holding capacity when resistance is minimal.
It has large ventilation capacity, large dust holding capacity, low initial resistance and strong fire resistance.
Long service life, economical and reliable, low operating cost
Lightweight plate structure, easy and safe replacement, convenient for users to operate by themselves
There are galvanized frames and aluminum alloy frames to choose from according to user needs.

Customized filters in non-standard sizes.
Filtration level: G2, G3, G4, F5 (EN779)
Optional thickness: 1" (20mm), 2" (46mm), 4" (96mm)
1 inch adopts flat structure
Pleated construction in both 2" and 4" sizes
The outer frame materials of the primary effect plate filter include paper frame, aluminum frame and galvanized iron frame. The outer frame of the filter is used to fix the folded filter material. There is a diagonal design on the outer frame, which allows the internal filter material to adhere tightly to the outer frame. In addition, professional adhesive glue is used around the filter to bond it to the outer frame, which can effectively prevent air leakage.
The filter materials of primary-effect plate filters include non-woven fabrics, nylon mesh, activated carbon filter materials, metal mesh, etc. These filter materials are folded into cardboard, and dust particles in the incoming air are filtered by the filter materials. Blocked between pleats, clean air flows out evenly from the other side.
1. The design structure of the primary effect plate filter is very compact, and because many of its size designs are unified, it also has good universality;
2. The primary effect plate filter has a relatively simple structure, and except for the outer frame, other components are lighter in weight, so the overall weight is relatively light;
3. Primary effect plate filters are often used for primary filtration of air conditioning and ventilation systems, as well as prefiltration of central air conditioning and centralized ventilation systems and prefiltration of large air compressors.
Maintenance of primary effect plate filter:
1. In order to ensure the filtration effect, we must regularly replace the primary-effect plate filter according to different environments during use. Generally speaking, it should be replaced every 3-6 months. If the air environment is very poor, the replacement time must be shortened; if the air environment is excellent, the replacement time can be appropriately delayed.
2. If you are afraid of artificial perceptual measurement inaccuracies, you can regularly use a dust particle counter to measure the cleanliness of the area purified by the primary effect plate filter. When the measured cleanliness does not match the required cleanliness, the reason should be identified and repaired. Or replace the primary effect plate filter.
Primary air filters are mainly divided into four levels (G1 ~ G4):
G1 particle size efficiency ≥5.0μm, filtration efficiency >20% corresponds to American standard C1
G2 particle size efficiency is ≥5.0μm, filtration efficiency is between 20% and 50%, corresponding to American standard C2 ~ C4
G3 particle size efficiency is ≥5.0μm, filtration efficiency is between 50% and 70%, corresponding to American standard L5
G4 particle size effective rate ≥5.0μm, filtration effective rate between 70% and 80%, corresponding to American standard L6-L7
The primary filter is mainly suitable for pre-filtration of air conditioning and ventilation systems, clean room return air filtration, and pre-filtration of local high-efficiency filtration devices. It is mainly used to filter dust particles with a particle size of 5um and above.
There are three types of primary filters: plate type, dense pleated type, and bag type. The outer frame materials include paper, aluminum plate, cold plate spray molding, galvanized plate, and stainless steel plate. The filter materials include non-woven fabric, chemical fiber, and glass fiber. etc., the filtration efficiency is 35% ~ 95%@5um (gravimetric method). Characteristics of primary filter: low price, light weight, good versatility and compact structure.

Primary filter application: It is widely used and is often used in program-controlled switches and dedicated constant temperature and humidity air conditioners in computer rooms, as well as in central fresh air units and ventilation systems. Used for pre-filtration of air compressors, clean room return air filtration, pre-filtration of high-efficiency filtration devices, etc.
Principle of Pre Filter Of HVAC Systems: The filter material is packed into high-strength cardboard in a folded form. The windward area increases, and the dust particles in the inflowing air are effectively blocked by the filter material between the folds. Clean air flows out evenly from the other side. Therefore the air flow through the filter is smooth and even. It depends on the filter material. The diameter of the particles it intercepts varies from 0.5um to 5um. Filtration efficiency is also different.
