air filter catalogue
AFPRO Filters released a new product catalog in 2013, featuring a wide range of standard and new products, including the HD-series and HQ-series filters. The company has been a leader in air filtration for over 30 years, focusing on innovation and global availability.
AFPRO Filters emphasizes energy reduction and environmental care, participating in ISO and Eurovent committees to establish air filtration standards. Energy labels have been introduced for product comparison based on performance and energy consumption.
The catalog discusses the new EN779:2012 standard, highlighting the importance of air quality in work environments and the impact of fine dust.
Filters are crucial for trapping harmful particles while allowing air to pass through. Fine particles pose health risks, especially to vulnerable populations. Adequate filtration can mitigate the effects of poor indoor air quality.
AFPRO Filters provides solutions for various industries, including nuclear, gas turbines, semiconductor manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals, each with specific filtration requirements.
Air filters reduce airborne particles through adsorption and various effects: sieve, inertial mass, interception, and diffusion.
Filters are classified under EN779:2012 for coarse and fine filters and EN1822:2009 for HEPA and ULPA filters. AFPRO Filters ensures compliance with these standards.

Recommendations and Tips
- EN 13779 standard outlines performance requirements for indoor air quality, considering outdoor air quality levels (ODA1 to ODA3).
- Filter classes M5 to F9 are recommended based on desired indoor air quality (IDA1 to IDA4).
- Filter efficiency is determined by the penetration factor, with recommendations for filter replacement based on economic and hygiene considerations.
Air filtration systems require filters of at least class F5 for return and extraction air to protect systems adequately. The document outlines the initial and terminal resistance for various filter classes (G4, M5, M6, F7, F8, F9) and their corresponding airflow volumes and airspeeds. Replacement frequencies for filters are specified in operating hours and years, with the first filter stage needing replacement every 2000 hours or one year, and the second stage every 4000 hours or two years.
Regular inspection and maintenance of air filters and systems are crucial for optimal operation. Key recommendations include installing the first filter stage close to the air intake, ensuring filter sections are accessible for inspection, and maintaining constant airflow to avoid surges. Filters should be replaced if damaged or saturated, and proper disposal methods should be followed for filters containing harmful substances.
Energy consumption is a significant cost factor in filtration systems, accounting for approximately 70% of overall costs. The document provides a formula to calculate energy consumption based on airflow volume, average resistance, operating hours, and fan efficiency. Filter efficiency is determined by the percentage of particulate matter trapped, with tests available at AFPRO Filters’ laboratory.
The document compares international norms for air quality classification, including ISO standards and US FED standards. It outlines maximum permissible concentrations of particles in cleanrooms and clean zones, providing a framework for maintaining sterile environments.

This last component listed comprises such elements and compounds as noble gases, carbon dioxide, fine particles, salts and gas emissions from motor traffic and industry. Although one percent sounds like very little, it does determine whether the air quality is considered healthy or unhealthy.

The principles of air filtration The sieve effect The sieve effect is one most commonly applied in air filters. The principle of the sieve effect is very simple: The particle is larger than the gap between the media fibres and therefore gets trapped. There are two basic types of air filter: Filters for solids and filters for gaseous particles. Both types have the same objective, to reduce the concentration of airborne particles. Gaseous particles can be filtered out by means of adsorption. Adsorption is brought about by London dispersion forces, or Van der Waal’s forces, which act between the...

European filterclassification How can one establish, as the end-user, whether a filter will provide the envisaged air quality? Throughout Europe, air filters are classified according to two standards: EN779:2012 for course and fine filters, and EN1822:2009 for HEPA and ULPA filters. Filters that are tested for compliance with these standards naturally meet stringent requirements. During such tests, the filters are exposed to circumstances which indicate precisely how they will perform in practice. As the customer, it is a comforting thought to know that all the products AFPRO Filters supplies...

MPPS MPPS stands for most penetrating particle size. This refers to the dimensions of those particles that are the most difficult to trap. It generally lies in the region of 0.1 to 0.2 microns (μm). The MPPS has to be established before subjecting a filter to tests. The overall efficiency and the local efficiency are then determined, depending on the filter class. HEPA Filters ULPA Filters
