Primary Medium and HEPA Air Filter for Cleanroom HVAC System
Introduction:Multi-stage air filtration is the core of cleanroom purification, which realizes graded purification of airflow through primary, medium and high-efficiency filters. This series of air filters covers G1-U17 efficiency grades, widely used in pharmaceutical, electronics, food and hospital clean air conditioning systems. It can be matched with Dust Collector Filter and Air compressor filter to build a complete multi-stage air purification system for industrial air intake and indoor air purification.

Product Introduction
Our primary, medium and HEPA air filters are designed for staged air purification of HVAC, cleanroom and air compressor intake systems. Matched with Dust Collector Filter, Air compressor filter and other supporting filter elements, they form a complete air purification chain, which can remove dust, particles, bacteria and suspended solids step by step. The product portfolio includes primary filter, medium filter, HEPA filter and W-type high-capacity sub-HEPA filter, covering EN779 and MPPS efficiency grades from G1 to U17. Different styles, frame materials and filter media are optional to adapt to ordinary air conditioning, high cleanliness clean workshop, high air volume and high humidity working conditions. They are widely used as pre-filter for air compressors, air conditioning intermediate filtration and terminal filtration of clean rooms.
Working Principle

The whole purification process adopts serial staged filtration: Airflow passes through the primary filter for preliminary purification, then enters the medium filter for secondary purification, and finally is filtered by HEPA filter before being sent into the clean room. The air returns through the louver and circulates back to the primary filter for repeated purification.
Primary filter: intercept large particles, hair, fiber and coarse dust;
Medium filter: capture 1~5μm fine dust, reduce the dust load of the terminal HEPA;
HEPA filter: trap particles below 0.5μm, bacteria and suspended contaminants, achieving high cleanliness requirements. The filter efficiency comparison table follows international standards including EN779, Eurovent, ASHRAE and Chinese classification, supporting clear model selection for different cleanliness levels from 100, 1000, 10000 to 100000 grade cleanrooms.

Installation & Maintenance
Follow the sequence of primary → medium → HEPA for staged installation, avoid reverse installation to prevent early clogging of high-efficiency filters.
Regularly check the pressure difference; replace the filter element in time once the pressure drop exceeds the rated value.
Protect the filter paper of HEPA filter from puncture and damage during installation.
Cooperate with Dust Collector Filter and Air compressor filter for upstream protection to reduce the dust load of the terminal purification system.
Cleanable primary filter can be washed repeatedly to reduce operating cost.
FAQs
Q1: What is the difference between H13 HEPA and F9 medium filter?
A: F9 medium filter mainly captures 1~5μm particles, used for intermediate filtration. H13 HEPA can capture 0.5μm particles with efficiency above 99.95%, which is used for terminal high-cleanliness filtration.
Q2: Which filter is suitable for air compressor inlet?
A: G4 primary filter or F5-F7 medium filter is generally used as pre-filter, matched with Air compressor filter to protect the compressor.
Q3: Can W-type high capacity filter work in high humidity environment?
A: Yes, the W-type filter can adapt to 100% humidity, suitable for humid air conditioning and ventilation systems.
Q4: Is the primary filter reusable?
A: Primary filters with synthetic fiber media can be cleaned several times; medium and HEPA filters are disposable and cannot be washed.
Q5: How to match filters for a 100000 grade clean room?
A: G4 primary + F8/F9 medium + H13 HEPA is the common standard configuration.
