G4 primary panel air filter with cardboard frame and white synthetic media

Primary (Pre) Filters G1-G4: Types & Selection

What a Primary Filter Is For

Primary (pre) filters sit first in the bank. They capture the bulk of coarse dust so the more expensive medium or HEPA stage lasts longer and stays clean.

Common Types

  • Panel filters – cardboard or metal frame, synthetic or glass media; cheapest, for G2-G4.
  • Pocket / bag filters – several deep pockets of synthetic media; larger area, lower ΔP, G3-G4 and into F5.
  • Roll / automatic filters – continuously fed media for very dusty intakes.
  • Washable metal mesh – reusable coarse screen for grease/intake hoods.

Typical Specifications

Class Arrestance Initial ΔP Frame
G3 80-90% 25-40 Pa Cardboard / metal
G4 ≥ 90% 30-45 Pa Cardboard / metal

Selection Checklist

  • Match frame size to the existing holding frame (592×592 mm and 495×495 mm are common).
  • Pick G4 for most HVAC; G3 where dust is very heavy and cost rules.
  • Confirm max operating temperature (synthetic ~70-80 °C; glass higher).
  • Choose pockets over panels when space allows lower ΔP.

자주 묻는 질문

What is a primary filter used for?
It captures coarse dust and protects the more expensive downstream filter, extending the life of the whole filtration bank.

Should I choose a panel or pocket G4 filter?
Panel filters are cheap with lower capacity, while pocket filters hold more dust and suit heavier or continuous duty.

How often should G3 or G4 filters be replaced?
Typically every three to six months, but the interval depends on local dust load and the measured pressure drop.

Can primary filters be washed and reused?
Some synthetic and metal-mesh types are reusable, but most media primary filters are disposable and should be bagged out.
