Air pollution caused by fine dust is a serious issue affecting the health of urban residents. Hence, air conditioner manufacturers have introduced products with integrated fine dust filtering function, and Casper is no exception.
Learn about PM2.5 Fine Dust Filtration Technology on Casper Air Conditioners
Similar to many other air conditioner brands, Casper utilizes electrostatic technology to 'trap' fine dust particles instead of using Hepa filters like specialized air purifier models. Casper air conditioners with fine dust filtering feature come equipped with a high-density polypropylene (PP) mesh filter, capable of filtering out ultra-fine dust particles with a size of 2.5um.
This dust filter sheet is separate, and upon purchase, we can easily install it inside the air conditioner unit along with the coarse filter. The filter sheet is made from premium PP (polypropylene) plastic, with a surface design containing densely spaced grooves to capture and remove airborne pollutants, including ultra-fine dust, pollen, mold, smoke, volatile organic compounds, bacteria, through high-voltage electrostatic technology.
The filtration area of the filter membrane is relatively limited compared to the common usage of coarse filters. Consequently, the fine dust filtration efficiency of this filter sheet will have limitations when compared to higher-end brands, for example:
– PM2.5 Fine Dust Filtration Technology on Samsung Air Conditioners
Samsung also utilizes electrostatic technology to eliminate PM2.5 fine dust. However, the surface area of this fine dust filter membrane is quite large, equivalent to the coarse filter mesh. This undoubtedly enhances the fine dust filtration efficiency of Samsung air conditioners impressively.
– PM1.0 Fine Dust Filtration Technology on LG Air Conditioners
LG not only employs electrostatic technology like Samsung but also adds an ion emitter (number 2 in the diagram above) to 'capture' ultra-fine dust particles and 'detain' them at the fine dust filter using electrostatic technology.
However, in comparison with the selling price, the disparity in this technology between Casper's fine dust filtering air conditioners and other brands is understandable.
