Filter Group: Multistage Filtration for Medical Air Quality

The Filter Group is a multi-phase filtration system that transforms compressed air into medical-grade air by removing moisture, oil, odor, and particles. It is an essential part of the medical air plant, placed directly after the air dryer, to ensure the air meets strict medical standards before reaching patients or equipment.

This unit guarantees that the air supplied through the hospital pipeline is clean, dry, and safe for medical use.


Step-by-Step Medical Air Filtration

After air passes through the drying stage, it enters the Filter Group, where it undergoes multiple phases of purification:

  1. General Purpose Element
    The first stage of filtration removes large contaminants from the dehumidified air coming out of the dryer. This prepares the air for further purification.

  2. Oil Trap Precision Filter
    In the second stage, the air is processed to eliminate any remaining oil droplets or particles that may have passed through the initial stage.

  3. Activated Carbon Filter
    In this phase, oil odor and hydrocarbon-based gases are adsorbed. This filter significantly improves air purity and removes residual smells from the compressed air.

  4. Particle Trap Filter Element
    The final filtration stage removes fine solid particles, ensuring the output air is free from contamination and compliant with medical air standards.

Each step is carefully engineered to target specific contaminants, resulting in high-purity air suitable for medical environments.


Placement and System Integration

The Filter Group is placed after the dryer in the medical air plant layout. This ensures that the air, which has already been dehumidified, can then be sterilized and purified across several levels.

Its design is modular, allowing for integration into both new systems and retrofitted medical gas infrastructures.


Ensuring Compliance with Medical Standards

The final output of the Filter Group is air that complies with medical air quality standards, suitable for:

  • Patient ventilation systems

  • Anesthesia delivery units

  • Respiratory therapy

  • Operating room air supply

Clean medical air is critical for patient safety and equipment performance. This group of filters ensures all air delivered to clinical settings is free of biological, chemical, and physical contaminants.


Low Maintenance and High Efficiency

Despite its multi-layered functionality, the Filter Group is designed for easy maintenance. Each filtration element can be replaced individually, reducing service time and minimizing cost.

The system is built to run efficiently without causing pressure drops or requiring constant supervision.
