medium efficiency filter is an air filtration device designed to capture airborne particles of medium size, typically ranging from 1 to 10 microns in diameter. These filters are commonly used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems to improve indoor air quality by removing contaminants such as dust, pollen, mold spores, and other particulate matter.
Medium efficiency filters are classified by their Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV), usually falling within the
MERV 8 to
MERV 13 range. This means they can effectively capture a significant percentage of particles while maintaining adequate airflow, striking a balance between filtration performance and energy efficiency. They are commonly used in commercial buildings, hospitals, and residential settings.
Applications:
Improving indoor air quality in office buildings or homes.
Protecting HVAC system components from dust buildup.
Reducing allergens and airborne contaminants in healthcare facilities.
