Our Products

The following is a detailed comparison and analysis of the pleated paper frame air filters of MERV grades 8, 9, 11, 13, 14 and grades G4, F5, F6, F7, F8 (used in air conditioning and heating systems) :

1. MERV grade filter
MERV 8
Filtration efficiency: It can capture 80% to 90% of particles of 5.0 microns and above, such as pollen, dust and pet dander.
Application scenarios: It is suitable for air conditioning systems in general residential and commercial buildings, providing basic air filtration.
Features: High cost performance, suitable for places with low requirements for air quality.
MERV 9
Filtration efficiency: Slightly higher than MERV 8, capable of capturing more tiny particles.
Application scenarios: It is suitable for places with certain requirements for air quality, such as schools and offices.
Feature: It provides better filtration performance based on MERV 8.
MERV 11
Filtration efficiency: It can capture over 90% of particles of 1.0 micron or larger, including some smoke and bacteria.
Application scenarios: It is suitable for places with high requirements for air quality such as hospitals, laboratories, and data centers.
Features: It offers high filtration efficiency and low air resistance, making it suitable for applications that require efficient filtration.
MERV 13
Filtration efficiency: It can capture over 95% of particles of 0.3 microns or larger, including smoke, bacteria, viral vectors, etc.
Application scenarios: It is suitable for places with extremely high air quality requirements, such as clean rooms, operating rooms, etc.
Features: High filtration efficiency, but relatively large air resistance, requiring regular replacement to maintain performance.
MERV 14
Filtration efficiency: Higher than MERV 13 and capable of capturing more fine particles.
Application scenarios: It is suitable for places with extremely strict air quality requirements, such as certain special industrial environments or laboratories.
Features: It offers extremely high filtration efficiency, but the cost is also relatively high.
2. European standard (EN779) grade filters
G4
Filtration efficiency: It belongs to the primary filter and can capture larger particles such as dust and pollen.
Application scenario: It is suitable for pre-filtering in air conditioning systems to protect subsequent high-efficiency filters.
Features: Low resistance, long service life, but relatively low filtration efficiency.
F5, F6, F7, F8
Filtration efficiency: As the grade increases, the filtration efficiency also gradually improves. F5 can capture some fine particulate matter, while F8 can capture a higher proportion of fine particulate matter.
Application scenarios: It is suitable for places with certain requirements for air quality, such as commercial buildings, hospitals, etc. Grades F7 and F8 are more suitable for occasions with higher requirements for air quality.
Features: It offers a filtration range from primary to medium efficiency, allowing for selection based on specific needs. As the grade increases, both the filtration efficiency and air resistance will increase.
Iii. Characteristics of Pleated Paper Frame Air Filters
Structure: Paper frames are adopted as the supporting structure, and the pleated filter material increases the filtration area and improves the filtration efficiency.
Advantages: Low cost and easy to replace; The pleated design increases the filtration area and dust holding capacity. The paper frame material is lightweight and easy to install and transport.
Disadvantage: Compared with metal frame filters, the durability of paper frames may be slightly inferior. It may be prone to moisture and deformation in a humid environment.
Iv. Selection Suggestions
Select based on the requirements of the site: Choose the appropriate filter grade according to the specific air quality requirements of the site. For example, for general residences, MERV 8 or G4 grades can be chosen; Hospitals, laboratories and other places may need to choose MERV 13 or F7, F8 grades.
Consider cost-effectiveness: Under the premise of meeting air quality requirements, try to choose filters with high cost-effectiveness. For example, in places where the requirements for air quality are not high, MERV 8 or G4 grade filters with high cost performance can be selected.
Regular replacement: No matter which grade of filter is chosen, it needs to be replaced regularly to maintain its filtration performance. The replacement cycle can be determined based on specific usage conditions and the manufacturer's recommendations.
