2021: Addition of AF 100 air cleaner with two HEPA filters of H13 and H14 classes

On August 18, 2021, Kärcher announced that it had supplemented the AF 100 air cleaner with two HEPA filters of classes H13 and H14.

AF 100

According to the company, filtration technology reduces the concentration of health harmful substances, microorganisms and aerosols to a low level - P4 and F4. The air cleaner is suitable for use both in everyday life and in schools, kindergartens, offices, restaurants, medical offices, as well as at retail enterprises. trade Some pathogens, including and, coronavirus enter the surrounding air as part of larger aerosol particles. Therefore, in closed rooms, the risk of infection exists even if social distance and sanitation requirements are met. Thanks to HEPA filters, the AF 100 air cleaner is able to retain even the smallest particles with a size of several micrometers or less.

Pollen, bacteria, viruses, dust - depending on specific contaminants, users could have used the AF 100 apparatus with five types of filters: universal (included in the standard configuration), anti-allergenic (delaying the release of mites, animal wool and other allergens), trapping volatile organic substances (gases, odors), smog (filtering small dust, microorganisms) or for medical institutions. Now the range is supplemented by HEPA filters. Kärcher AF 100 air cleaner Depending on the filter used and the size of the room, the maximum capacity of the AF 100 can reach 750 m ³/h. It is suitable for use in rooms up to 100 m ². An important possibility is a low noise level that does not exceed 48 dB (A) when operating at maximum performance and is even lower at night. For comparison: the usual noise level in apartments is in the range from 45 to 50 dB (A). The design of the AF 100 is based on a combination of an electric motor with a fan and a three-stage filtration system. The laser sensor constantly measures the concentration of impurities (dust, pollen, villi, etc.) in the air of the room and displays it on the display. The number of particles in the air is displayed on an intelligent display (PM 2.5/m ³). The laser sensor also controls the automatic mode and light indication of the air cleaner (red means contaminated air, yellow means medium, blue means clean air).

The control panel allows you to set three fan speeds, and in automatic mode, the AF 100 itself determines the air quality and automatically adapts the performance to it. There is also an indicator indicating the need to replace the filter, which can be made without problems by the user himself.
