Why should you use a HEPA Filter for your negative air machine? HEPA filters are also known as high efficiency particulate air filters. True HEPA filters can filter out particles as small as 0.3 microns at a 99.7% efficiency and are commonly used in negative air machines and air scrubbers.
Negative Air Machines and Air Scrubbers
What’s the difference between air scrubbers and negative air machines? They both filter out particles from the air. However, negative air machines are used in rooms with negative air pressure. Air scrubbers are generally placed in the center of a room to just clean the air. The Air scrubbers are similar to negative air machines, but without any ducting.
Negative air pressure rooms keeps the contaminated air isolated, not allowing contaminated air to escape to other areas. In this room, you have a negative air machine where the contaminated air goes through and gets filtered before it’s released to the atmosphere.
Air scrubbers, however, are usually placed in the center of the room where it constantly filters out the contaminants in the air without any ducting. Air scrubbers can also be used as negative air filter machines when placed in a negative pressure room. It will, however, require all the ducting attached.
