Description
This combined activated carbon/HEPA filter fits the Dryfix X3 dehumidifier. The HEPA filter cleans the air with a purity rate of nearly 100% with every pass through the device. This means that even the finest particles such as pollen, fine dust, mold spores, and other tiny contaminants are captured. The filter is therefore highly recommended, for example, in basements with mold infestations, but also during laundry drying, so that airborne pollen is not blown onto the hanging laundry and contaminates it (e.g., in case of pollen allergy). An activated carbon element is also integrated into the filter, which actively breaks down odors and vapors.
"It can be very easily mounted on the back of the dehumidifier in the air intake area behind the standard coarse dust filter."
'This filter is part of the consumables and cannot be washed. It is only suitable for the dehumidifier Dryfix "X3".'
Regarding cleaning effectiveness against the Corona virus:
Coronaviruses have a diameter of about 60 - 160 nm (60 nm = 0.00006 mm).
The HEPA filter in this device cleans particles up to 0.0003 mm in size. The virus is therefore smaller than the filter's purity rate.
But: Viruses do not fly individually in the air, but are always enclosed in larger droplets (so-called aerosols). In human breath, the smallest droplets have a size of about 1 µm = 0.001 mm (when coughing: 10 µm = 0.01 mm). The HEPA filter captures the aerosols and also cleans the air of COVID-19 viruses. There is of course no 100% protection, as an air purifier does not clean the entire room volume at once and because surfaces can also be contaminated by touch. However, for risk reduction, e.g., in waiting rooms, classrooms, offices, or even in private settings, the device is very effective and recommended.
