How do HEPA filters work?
High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filters are primarily made of multiple arranged fibres with a diameter of between 0.5 to 2 mm. These fibres form the actual filter medium. Just like a sieve, the particles get caught in these structures.
The dirt particles can be filtered out of the air by means of three different methods: the barrier effect (interception), inertia effect (impaction), and diffusion effect. All these effects can be found in the BONECO filters depending on the equipment variant (Allergy, Baby, and Smog).
HEPA air filters work with an efficiency level of at least 99.97%. Particles measuring up to 0.3 micron are retained. HEPA filters are divided into different classes and are distinguished by "MPPS" (Most Penetrating Particle Size) from E10 to U17. BONECO filters are assigned to the classes E11 (ALLERGY, SMOG) and E12 (BABY)
Activated Carbon
If a pleasant room climate is to be created, unpleasant smells must first be eliminated. All BONECO filters are therefore fitted with an additional activated carbon filter. This "filter in a filter" is made of carbon granules. Its micropores are able to trap and neutralize different smell molecules.
In order to achieve an ideal effect, over 270 grams of activated carbon are used in the ALLERGY and BABY filters. Thanks to their special design, these filters are also able with the same amount of carbon to absorb up to four times more particles or molecules than normal carbon.
The full range of filters produced to be compatible with this model includes the ALLERGY, the BABY and the SMOG filter types. All three ensure that the air is cleaned very efficiently. If your requirements change because you move from the town to the country, for example, the SMOG model can be replaced at any time by the ALLERGY model.
All three filters have similar properties. The ALLERGY filter therefore not only removes pollen from the air, but also dust, mites, and smoke, to name but one example. Every filter type also features special properties suitable for a specific task.
We do not stock all of these filters, however, although you may be able to purchase the ALLERGY type (Boneco Model A501 or Item #42474) which comes standard with the P500 from us, by special order. Please contact us for details.
