What is a G4 Air Filter? Everything You Need to Know

Filtration Process Explained

The filtration process of a G4 air filter is straightforward yet highly effective. As air passes through the filter material, airborne particles get trapped within the fibers due to mechanical filtration, interception, and inertial impaction.

This ensures the air exiting the filter is significantly cleaner and healthier.

Types of Particles Captured by G4 Filters

G4 Air Filters are specifically engineered to effectively trap and remove medium to larger airborne contaminants, significantly improving air quality in a variety of settings. Understanding the types of particles these filters capture helps in realizing their value and effectiveness.

Dust Particles

Dust is one of the most common airborne pollutants found in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Dust particles typically range in size from a few microns up to visible specks.

A G4 Air Filter efficiently traps these particles, reducing indoor dust buildup. By doing this, it contributes significantly to a cleaner indoor environment and reduces health issues such as respiratory irritation or allergies caused by dust inhalation.

Pollen

Pollen grains from trees, grasses, and flowers range from approximately 10 to 100 microns in size. For individuals with allergies or asthma, pollen can be particularly problematic, triggering symptoms and respiratory discomfort.

A G4 Air Filter excels in capturing these relatively larger allergenic particles, helping create a safer and more comfortable indoor environment for occupants, especially during high pollen seasons.

Textile Fibers

Textile fibers, originating from clothing, upholstery, carpets, and curtains, can become airborne through daily activities. These fibers may contribute to respiratory irritation and impact indoor air cleanliness.

With its medium-grade filtration efficiency, a G4 Air Filter effectively traps these fibers, minimizing their presence in the air and significantly enhancing overall indoor air quality.

Larger Particulate Pollutants

Various larger particulate pollutants—including pet dander, human hair, lint, visible debris, and construction dust—pose risks not only to human health but also to the functionality and efficiency of HVAC systems.

The G4 Air Filter captures these sizable particles efficiently, preventing them from settling on HVAC system components. This reduces equipment wear and tear, lowers the risk of breakdowns, and helps extend the lifespan of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units.
