Nanofiber HEPA Air Filter Test – Energy Saving Case Study
To evaluate the real operational performance of nanofiber filtration media, NanoFiltech conducted an on-site AHU comparison test at a Top 10 new energy enterprise in China.
Test Overview
Application: AHU system
Air volume: 60,000 m³/h
Air change rate: 15 times/hour
Filters replaced: Pre-filter, Medium filter, HEPA filter
Measuring instruments: Anemometer, energy consumption meter, efficiency tester
Test duration: 64 days
Both nanofiber and traditional fiberglass panel filters (1170×570×70mm) were tested under identical operating conditions.
Key Results
Parameter | Nanofiber Filter | Fiberglass Filter |
Initial efficiency | 99.30% | 99.32% |
Outlet wind speed | 0.45 m/s | 0.45 m/s |
AHU energy consumption | 741.3 kWh/day | 781.4 kWh/day |
Despite similar filtration efficiency and airflow performance, the nanofiber filter reduced AHU energy consumption by approximately:
40 kWh per day
14,600 kWh per year (per AHU)
(Based on 60,000 m³/h theoretical air volume)
What This Means
The test confirms that nanofiber surface filtration technology can deliver:
Stable high efficiency
Lower pressure rise over time
Reduced fan energy load
Measurable lifecycle energy savings
For high air-volume industrial environments such as new energy manufacturing, the cumulative impact across multiple AHUs can be significant.
NanoFiltech continues to focus on lifecycle performance — not only filtration efficiency, but system-level energy optimization.
