Compare TPA and HEPA technologies, which is more effective

The widespread use of traditional HEPA air filtration technology in most household air purifiers is well-known. However, Airdog air purifiers, equipped with advanced TPA (Two Pole Active) filtration technology from the United States, offer superior filtration and eradication of pollutants and pathogens, setting them apart from traditional filtration systems. What makes TPA technology superior to traditional HEPA filtration? Let’s explore the differences between these two technologies!

1. Introduction to Two Air Filtration Technologies

While both technologies serve the purpose of air filtration, air purifiers with TPA technology boast unique features such as pathogen eradication, which HEPA technology cannot achieve.

2. TPA Technology: What is it?

TPA stands for Two Pole Active. This advanced air filtration technology operates actively and uniquely worldwide. It uses high-voltage electricity to capture and destroy dust, bacteria, viruses, and even formaldehyde in the air.

• Patent and Global Reach: TPA® technology, patented exclusively from Silicon Valley, USA, provides clean air and can eliminate particles as small as 0.0146 microns. It is recognized in over 120 countries and has a loyal customer base in Vietnam, with a return rate of up to 40% by December 2023.
• Comprehensive Filtration and Eradication: Integrated into most Airdog air purifiers, TPA technology is a superior solution for filtering and eradicating harmful airborne substances. It employs an ionization field with a voltage exceeding 10,000 volts to break down pollutants and pathogens.
• Reusable Collector: The harmful particles, once broken down, are positively charged and adhere to a negatively charged collector, preventing them from being released back into the environment. This collector is washable, reusable, and highly efficient in removing 99.9% harmful microorganisms, making it an eco-friendly solution.

Due to these reasons, TPA technology offers superior features to traditional filtration technologies. Airdog is one of the first global brands to incorporate TPA technology into their innovative air purifiers.

3. Comparing TPA and HEPA Technologies

HEPA Technology: HEPA filters are made of ultra-fine glass fibers, capable of trapping numerous small particles. Air passes through a dense filter, capturing pollutants through pressure. However, HEPA filters require regular replacement, leading to decreased efficiency and potential pollutant release if not appropriately maintained.

4. Detailed Comparison: Which Technology to Choose?

Understanding the definitions of HEPA and TPA is one thing, but analyzing their pros and cons gives us a clearer perspective. 

 

Criteria	HEPA Technology	TPA Technology
Operating Principle	Filters pollutants by trapping them in a dense mesh	Utilizes four filters with distinct functions for comprehensive filtration and eradication
Filter Lifespan	3-6 months, requires costly replacements	Permanent, washable, and reusable, saving costs
Filtration Efficiency	Filters particles down to 0.3 microns	Destroys particles as small as 0.0146 microns
Environmental Friendliness	No	Highly eco-friendly due to reusable filters
Maintenance Costs	High due to frequent filter replacements	Low, as filters do not need replacing

 

5. Why Choose TPA Over HEPA?

   – TPA Technology Advantages: Equipped with high-voltage wires, TPA technology effectively filters and destroys ultra-small microorganisms down to 0.0146 microns. Medical professionals and hospitals favor Airdog air purifiers utilizing TPA in over 150 countries.

   – Reusable and Eco-friendly: TPA collectors, primarily metal-based, are lightweight compared to HEPA filters. These reusable and washable collectors make TPA a pioneering technology in air purification, significantly reducing environmental impact.

Given its advanced filtration capabilities, low maintenance costs, and environmental benefits, TPA technology outperforms traditional HEPA filtration. For those seeking clean, fresh air for their families, TPA air purifiers offer long-term benefits and superior performance.
