Lan Shan UDF/Box Carbon Filter – 10″

The operation of an activated carbon filter is quite simple. The air to be purified enters the ventilation system, comes into contact with the filters and passes through the activated carbon. A chemical reaction then takes place: the fine particles present in the air adhere to the surface of the activated carbon, which is characterized by a large surface area of tiny pores. It is these pores, resulting from the process described above, that capture the fine particles and release purified air.

What’s more, to optimize its efficiency, the activated carbon filter can be used in synergy with another filter (G4, for example). The idea is to prevent coarse particles from reaching the activated carbon, so as not to saturate it and clog its pores, and thus maintain its efficiency for longer.

Coarse particles include :

• Dust,
• Mould spores,
• Wood, textile and cardboard fibers,
• animal hair.

Why use an activated carbon filter?

Using an activated carbon filter offers many benefits, including getting rid of unwanted contaminants. These contaminants include :

• Hydrogen sulfide,
• VOCs (acetone, benzene, styrene, ethanol, perchloroethylene, etc.),
• Ammonia,
• Aromatics.

These particles, present in the air, are harmful and can damage your health. Activated charcoal is an effective way of protecting you from them.
