Activated Carbon Filters

Activated carbon filters remove gases, vapours and odours — the fraction a particle filter lets through. Whalesens builds them in four structures so the same chemistry can be fitted to different plenums: flat panel, pleated panel, pocket and V-bank, plus a box-type chemical filter for ducted chemical duty.

The carbon itself comes in several forms — carbon filter cotton, carbon-sandwiched non-woven fabric, activated carbon fibre felt, and granular, spherical or alumina media in the deeper V-bank and box constructions. Matching the form to the gas load is what decides how long the filter lasts, so tell us the contaminant and its concentration rather than only the frame size.

How it compares

Carbon vs a particle filter

A particle filter captures dust; a carbon filter captures molecules. Neither replaces the other, and the order matters: put the particle stage first, because dust blinds carbon and spends its capacity on the wrong problem. Most installations run a pre-filter, a medium filter and the carbon stage in series.

Carbon cotton vs granular carbon

Carbon cotton is thin, light and low resistance, which suits light odour duty in a flat panel where depth is limited. Granular and spherical carbon in a V-bank or box filter gives a deeper bed and a longer residence time, so it holds far more gas before breakthrough — that is the difference between an odour panel and a chemical filter.

Panel, pocket or V-bank

A flat panel is the cheapest way to cover a face and is used for light odour. A pocket adds media area at low face velocity. A V-bank packs the largest media area into a 292 mm depth and is the usual choice where gas capacity, not particle efficiency, is the limiting factor.

Where it is used

FAQ

What does an activated carbon filter remove?
Gases, vapours and odours: solvents, formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia and the organic compounds responsible for most indoor smell complaints. It does not remove dust, so a carbon stage is always used together with a particle filter.
How long does an activated carbon filter last?
Until breakthrough, which depends on the gas, its concentration and the residence time in the bed — not on a fixed interval. A carbon filter can look clean and be completely spent, so the change point has to come from an odour or gas measurement, not from the pressure drop.
Can a carbon filter replace a HEPA filter?
No. They remove different things, and a carbon filter will pass particles while a HEPA filter will pass gases. Where both are needed they are run in series, normally with the particle stages upstream to keep dust out of the carbon.
What is the carbon made from?
Wood, coal or coconut shell are the usual precursors, and the choice affects pore structure and therefore which molecules are adsorbed best. Coconut shell gives a hard, microporous carbon; coal and wood give a broader pore range for general odour and solvent duty.
What is the difference between honeycomb and granular carbon?
Honeycomb carbon has straight channels and a low pressure drop, which suits large air volumes with light pollution. Granular or spherical media gives a longer path and more contact time, so it holds more gas — it is the choice where the concentration is real and the filter has to last.
Does humidity affect carbon filters?
Yes. Water molecules compete for the same pores, so a very humid airstream shortens the effective life of the filter and can reduce the working capacity. Where humidity is high, pre-treatment or a different media form is worth discussing before the filter is specified.
How should carbon filters be stored?
Sealed, dry and away from solvent fumes. A carbon filter starts working as soon as it is exposed to air, so an open carton stored in a workshop will be partly spent before it is fitted.
Which structure should I choose for my duct?
Follow the available depth and the face size: a flat panel where depth is under 25 mm, a pleated panel or pocket where you can afford 46 to 120 mm and want more media area, and a V-bank where you have 292 mm and the load needs a deep carbon bed.
