kartonfilters

Kartonfilters, also known as cardboard filters, are a type of disposable air filter constructed from corrugated cardboard. They are primarily used in applications where a cost-effective and easily replaceable filtration solution is required. The cardboard material provides a porous structure that can trap larger airborne particles such as dust, lint, and debris.

The design of a kartonfilter typically involves a frame made of cardboard, which holds a filtering medium also made of paper or a similar fibrous material. This medium is often treated to enhance its dust-holding capacity. The corrugated nature of the cardboard frame can increase the surface area of the filter, potentially improving its efficiency and lifespan.

Kartonfilters are commonly found in HVAC systems, particularly in residential and light commercial settings, where they serve as a pre-filter or a primary filter for less demanding applications. They are also used in industrial settings for dust collection systems and paint booths. The main advantage of kartonfilters is their low initial cost and ease of disposal, making them a practical choice for situations where frequent filter changes are necessary. However, their filtration efficiency for smaller particles is generally lower compared to more advanced filter media, and they are not typically suitable for applications requiring high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration. Regular replacement is crucial to maintain airflow and prevent system strain.
