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 absorption capacity per gram for PrimaKlima filters), the better the filtration performance. Key factors:
- The iodine absorption factor indicates the adsorption capacity
- PK filters use premium coconut shell carbon
- Filter efficiency = Carbon weight (kg) × Iodine absorption (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 absorption (mg/g)
How often should the filter be replaced?
- Recommended replacement every 12 months
- Depends on: airflow rate, contamination load, humidity (<55% ideal)
- Signs of 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. Choosing the right size and ensuring proper maintenance guarantees optimal performance for both private and industrial applications.
