Parts & Description s
HEPA is a type of pleated mechanical air filter. It is an acronym for "high efficiency
particulate air [filter]" (as officially defined by the U.S. Dept. of Energy). This type of
air filter can theoretically remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and
any airborne particles with a size of 0.3 microns (µm). Particles that are larger or
smaller are trapped with even higher efficiency.
