Nano-Based Air Filter Manufactured in Iran for Auto Industry
‘Mehr Asa’, ‘Behran Filter’, ‘Fara Negar Shargh’ and ‘Azad Filter’ are the companies which have produced the automotive particulate-absorbing air filter coated by a thin layer of electrospun nanofibrous polymeric web to improve its filtration efficiency.
Covering of the surface of the fabricated air filter with certain nanofibers has improved its particulate absorption efficiency.
Earlier this year, an Iranian knowledge-based company had used nanofibers to make filters for industrial units, specially power plants, last longer.
Nanofiber filters possess a handful of advantages over conventional fibers.
Nanofiber filters tend to have very high filtration efficiency. They require less energy for the air to ventilate through them.
Moreover, they are cost-efficient as they last longer and do not need higher-powered ventilation systems for circulating air.
The industrial and power plant filters produced in an Iranian knowledge-based company have features such as better protection of turbine parts, reduction of downtime costs, an increase of power generation capacity, and an increase of filter life to at least 1.5 times.
The company has been exporting the filters to Iraq and Afghanistan over the past two years.
