This over-efficiency is an advantage: operating at a moderate flow rate increases the contact time of the air with the activated charcoal, which improves odor filtration. You will thus have highly efficient and lasting air purification, even in spaces smaller than originally intended for this filter.
- What is the level of pressure drop of the ProActiv 150mm 840m³/h activated carbon filter to be integrated into an automated ventilation system?
The pressure drop level of the ProActiv Ø150mm 840m³/h activated carbon filter is not precisely indicated, but thanks to its multi-layer technology, it minimizes air flow resistance as much as possible. For filters of a similar size, this pressure drop generally ranges between 10 and 40 Pa, often towards the lower value due to its optimized design.
This low pressure drop allows for effective integration into an automated ventilation system, provided that a fan capable of delivering a flow rate close to 840 m³/h is used to ensure optimal operation.
