Reducing Energy Consumption Through Advances in Mechanical ASHRAE Air Filtration Media
30 Jan 2015Air pollution is known to increase risks for a wide range of diseases such as respiratory and heart diseases. Studies indicate that in recent years exposure levels have increased significantly in some parts of the world and air pollution is now classed as carcinogenic to humans. These facts support the need for effective air filters in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems of buildings. This paper quantifies the advantages for filter manufacturers of using Lydall Performance Materials LydAir® MG HD technology; a solution that can lead to lower energy consumption.

FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices. Find the best filtration products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Airborne PollutantsAirborne pollutants are particulates, biological molecules or other harmful materials that exist in the atmosphere. These pollutants are known to cause harm to health and the environment. Examples include persistent organic pollutants (POPs), carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides.Carcinogens
