Class H 14 HEPA high performance filters filter <\/span><\/span>the coronavirus effectively! <\/span><\/span>That\u2019s the good news, which lets every pro breathe a literal sigh of relief. <\/span><\/span>This is because these high-performance filters eliminate particles larger than 0.1 \u00b5m \u2013 so that the 0.12 to 0.16 \u00b5m coronavirus doesn’t stand a chance. <\/span><\/span>This is especially true since this virus does not float through the air by itself, but as a significantly larger droplet aerosol. <\/span><\/span>Best of all: the H14 filters will soon be available for <\/span><\/span>all TAC series air purifiers.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Virus strains such as the dreaded SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV or the novel, recently occurring coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, are similar in size. Current studies have determined the particle size of the coronavirus to be 0.12 to 0.16 \u00b5m. This makes the viruses virtually easy prey for a <\/span><\/span>HEPA filter with a class H14 certification: This is because, <\/span><\/span>at a particle size of 0.1 to 0.2 \u00b5m<\/span><\/span>, these filters have an enormously high filtration rate of 99.995 %<\/span><\/span>. In other words, out of 100,000 particles in an H14 filter, only 5 particles get through. And it is important to note: The coronavirus, too, just doesn\u2019t fly about the room by itself, but is released through coughing or sneezing as a so-called ‘aerosol\u2019. This kind of aerosol is composed of a mixture of solid and liquid suspended particles, gases and water vapour.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because of its effective filtration efficiency, H14 class high-performance filters are used to generate clean air in operating theatres or in the extremely sensitive production of computer chips. And, starting today, the H14 filter class is also available in our <\/span><\/span>TAC <\/span><\/span>professional<\/span><\/span> air cleaners <\/span><\/span>as an accessory for these TAC series devices (<\/span><\/span>for use in the<\/span><\/span> H13 particulate filter compartment)<\/span><\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n
