Filtration Principles: How Our Furnace Air Filter Reduces 99 % of Airborne Particles
Understanding how your furnace air filter actually cleans your home’s air can help you choose a system that keeps your family healthier year-round. DistinctAir’s design is built on proven principles of filtration, each working together inside our advanced filter media to capture different types of particles as air flows through your HVAC system.
Interception - Our Unique Furnace Air Filter Stops Dust in its Tracks
As air moves through our furnace air filter, dust and allergens follow the airflow. When they brush against the woven fibers of the filter media, the strong forces of attraction between the particles and the filter fibers make them stick. This keeps everyday pollutants from circulating, leaving your home cleaner and your family breathing easier.
Diffusional Effect – Our 3D Filter Media Catches Even the Tiny Particles
Worried about tiny particles and allergies? Our 3D furnace air filter ensures even the smallest airborne dust, pollen, and microorganisms are captured. When dust-laden air moves through the filter media, tiny particles do not follow the airflow precisely due to bombardment with air molecules. This gives them an erratic path, causing them to bump into the fibers where they get trapped, reducing germs and allergens and helping your indoor air stay safe and fresh.
Straining – Easily Block the Big Stuff With Our Furnace Air Filter
Ordinary furnace filters can let large particles like pet dander, dust, and pollen escape, leaving your home feeling dusty and prone to allergies. That’s where our DistinctAir MERV 7 furnace air filters make a difference. Large particles can’t slip through the gaps in the woven filter media of our furnace filters. This allows them to capture large particles efficiently while maintaining smooth airflow, significantly enhancing your home’s air quality.
Impingement - Heavy Particles Don’t Stand a Chance With This Filtration Technique
As air flows through our DistinctAir furnace air filter, it moves easily around the filter media. But heavier dust particles can’t change direction as quickly. They collide with the fibers and get trapped. This removes dust, pollen, and other airborne particles, helping your family breathe easier and reducing allergens in your home.
Collision Probability - Layered filtration media for Maximum Clean Air
Concerned your filter isn’t capturing everything? Switch to DistinctAir reusable furnace filter. The layers in our furnace air filter are arranged to give dust and particles the best chance to collide with and stick to the fibers of filter media. This principle of filtration maximizes particle removal while keeping airflow smooth, so your HVAC system continues to deliver cleaner, healthier air efficiently throughout your home.
