Important Knowledge About Activated Carbon Air Filters
General Information
Activated carbon binds organic compounds through adsorption. The larger the internal surface area (>1200 mg iodine adsorption capacity per gram for PrimaKlima filters), the better the filtration performance. Key factors:
- The iodine adsorption factor indicates adsorption capacity
- PK filters use premium coconut shell carbon
- Filter efficiency = Carbon weight (kg) × Iodine adsorption (mg/g)
- Pressure drop increases with finer carbon granules

FAQ
Are lighter filters better?
❌ No – More carbon mass = better adsorption capacity. Performance equation:
Filter capacity (mg) = Carbon weight (g) × Iodine adsorption (mg/g)
How often should the filter be replaced?
- Recommended replacement every 12 months
- Depends on: Airflow rate, contamination level, humidity (<55% ideal)
- Signs for replacement: Odor breakthrough
Maintenance Tips
- Maintain negative pressure
- Optimal contact time: 0.05-2 seconds
- Industrial models are refillable
PrimaKlima filters combine scientific adsorption principles with robust engineering for reliable odor control. The right size and maintenance ensure optimal performance for both private and industrial applications.
