El problema de CADR que crean los filtros HEPA estándar
CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) is the metric that sells air purifiers. It appears on product listings, Amazon titles, and certification labels. Every air purifier OEM wants a higher CADR — but standard HEPA filters create a fundamental design trade-off:
Higher filter efficiency = finer fiber media = higher air resistance = lower airflow at the same fan power = lower CADR.
Most OEMs compensate by increasing fan motor size and speed — which raises noise levels, energy draw, and product cost. Low resistance HEPA filters break this trade-off by delivering H13 efficiency with a pressure drop 20–40% lower than conventional HEPA media, allowing the same fan to move more air and deliver higher CADR without the noise and power penalty.
Especificaciones del producto
H13 frente a H14: qué grado especificar
| Grade | Efficiency @ MPPS | Pressure Drop (relative) | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| H13 HEPA | ≥ 99.95% | Lower | Residential air purifiers, commercial HVAC, office |
| H14 HEPA | ≥ 99.995% | Higher | Medical, cleanroom, pharmaceutical, lab |
| U15 ULPA | ≥ 99.9995% | Very high | Semiconductor fab, nuclear, specialized lab |
For the vast majority of residential and commercial air purifier OEMs, H13 is the correct specification. H14 is only justified when the end application genuinely requires near-total particle elimination — adding H14 to a residential product increases cost and pressure drop without a meaningful air quality benefit for the end user.
Cómo logramos baja resistencia sin sacrificar la eficiencia
Conventional wisdom treats HEPA efficiency and pressure drop as a fixed trade-off. Our engineering approach breaks it through three levers:
1. Mayor número de pliegues
More pleats = more media area per unit filter volume = lower face velocity per pleat = lower pressure drop at the same total airflow. We engineer pleat depth and spacing to maximize media area within your filter housing dimensions.
2. Diámetro de fibra de vidrio optimizado
Finer glass fibers improve capture efficiency through diffusion and interception, but increase resistance. We use a bi-layer media design — a coarser pre-filter layer reduces particulate loading on the fine HEPA layer, preserving airflow over the filter's service life.
3. Diseños de área de filtrado extendida
For cylindrical or conical filter formats (common in tower and column air purifiers), we optimize media area by maximizing usable filter height and internal diameter — giving more surface area within the same external housing footprint.

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué es un filtro HEPA de baja resistencia?
A HEPA filter that achieves H13 or H14 efficiency (≥99.95% at MPPS) with a lower pressure drop than conventional HEPA media — through higher pleat count, optimized fiber design, or expanded media area. Lower pressure drop means higher CADR at the same fan power and noise level.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre HEPA H13 y H14?
H13 captures ≥99.95% of particles at MPPS. H14 captures ≥99.995%. H13 is correct for residential and commercial air purifiers. H14 is for medical, cleanroom, and pharmaceutical environments where near-total particle removal is required.
¿Cómo mejora el CADR un filtro HEPA de baja caída de presión?
Lower pressure drop allows the fan to move more air at the same motor power and noise level, directly increasing the CADR airflow component without sacrificing filtration efficiency. Result: better product spec sheet without increasing BOM cost.

¿Qué norma clasifica los filtros HEPA?
Los filtros HEPA se clasifican según la norma EN 1822-1. H13 captura ≥99,95% de partículas en MPPS (0,1–0,3 µm); H14 captura ≥99,995%. Para purificadores de aire residenciales y comerciales, H13 es la especificación estándar. H14 se reserva para aplicaciones médicas, salas limpias y farmacéuticas. Nantong Deli's H13 de baja resistencia ofrece 20–40% menos caída de presión que el H13 convencional.
