Pleatfiltrid
Pleatfiltrid, often translated as pleated filters, are a common type of air filter used in various applications to remove particulate matter from the air. Their design utilizes a folded or pleated filter medium, which significantly increases the surface area available for filtration compared to a flat filter of the same dimensions. This larger surface area allows for greater dust holding capacity and can lead to a longer service life, meaning the filter doesn't need to be replaced as frequently. The pleats themselves are typically held in place by a frame or support structure, ensuring that the filter medium maintains its shape and the airflow is distributed evenly across the entire surface. The material used for the filter medium can vary widely, from synthetic fibers like polyester and polypropylene to natural materials and even specialized media designed for specific filtration needs, such as electrostatic charges to attract finer particles. Pleatfiltrid are widely employed in HVAC systems for buildings, industrial air filtration, automotive cabin air filters, and vacuum cleaners, among other uses. The efficiency of a pleatfiltrid is determined by its MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating, which indicates its ability to capture particles of different sizes.
