Activated Carbon Cartridges: longer life, less waste – ETC Group solutions for air purification
Discover how ETC Group activated carbon cartridges, in 140x70x400 mm and 160x90x400 mm formats, increase filtration surface, improve performance, and reduce costs. Greater durability, efficiency, and sustainability.
♻️ Activated Carbon Cartridges: how to increase lifespan and improve air treatment
In the treatment of air contaminated by odors, fumes, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), activated carbon cartridges play a fundamental role.
ETC Group has developed a technically advanced solution to increase filter performance and extend their lifespan, reducing costs and improving environmental impact.
📐 Our two standard variants:
Cartridge 140x70xH400 mm
Cartridge 160x90xH400 mm
Both are designed to offer maximum performance in our activated carbon control units and purifiers, exploiting the larger external surface to optimize contact with incoming dirty air.
📊 Calculations: how much adsorption surface?
To better understand efficiency, let's look at the actual technical data:
➤ Variant 140x70xH400 mm
External surface = π × 0.14 m × 0.4 m ≈ 0.176 m²
Internal surface = π × 0.07 m × 0.4 m ≈ 0.088 m²
Total: ≈ 0.264 m² per cartridge
➤ Variant 160x90xH400 mm
External surface = π × 0.16 m × 0.4 m ≈ 0.201 m²
Internal surface = π × 0.09 m × 0.4 m ≈ 0.113 m²
Total: ≈ 0.314 m² per cartridge
✅ In both cases, the cartridge orientation is designed to ensure that incoming air first hits the wider external surface, increasing adsorption effectiveness.
🔍 Practical and environmental benefits
🔸 Double lifespan: more surface = less saturation
🔸 Better absorption of odors, fumes, and gases
🔸 Less maintenance and fewer replacements to dispose of
🔸 Constant efficiency even under heavy load
🔸 Reduction of long-term operating costs
🌍 Sustainability and circular economy
Efficient use of activated carbon cartridges not only improves the quality of treated air, but also reduces waste and environmental impact.
Fewer filter changes = less waste and more savings.
Each cartridge is an integral part of our commitment to cleaner air, without compromising performance or ease of use.
