The Latest Technology To Protect Your Family

Chimney Cleaning

At Patriot Chimneys we believe in putting the safety of your family and home as a top priority while serving our customers. Many traditional Chimney Cleaning companies are often seen using standard Shop Vacuums in their customers homes while cleaning dangerous debris from the interior of the Chimney. These small particles of ash can penetrate the filtration of a common shop vacuum, leaving microscopic pieces of debris in the air.

However at Patriot Chimneys we use the latest technology in the Chimney Cleaning industry with a HEPA Filtration Unit specially designed for the cleaning of Chimneys.

What is a HEPA Filter?

HEPA is an acronym that stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air, so a HEPA filter is a High Efficiency Particulate Air filter. Filters, whether for an air purifier or other implementation, come with many benefits and claims.

What sets HEPA filters apart from the rest is their claims are more than just claims. Because in order to be called a true HEPA filter it has to be first be tested and approved, you know exactly what to expect. The Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology dictates that a HEPA filter must trap 99.97% of particulates 0.3 microns or larger. This does not mean that the filter cannot trap particles smaller than 0.3 microns, because many HEPA filters can; it is simply the threshold that must be reached in order to carry the HEPA name.

What is a micron?

Particles range from ultra-microscopic to entirely detectable to the human eye. Microns, which are one-millionth of a meter, are how particles are measured. To give you a better idea of the size of a micron, or less than a micron, consider that we cannot visually see anything less than 10 microns. Bacteria can be anywhere from 0.3 to 60 microns, and 1 inch equals 25,400 microns.

Micron Comparison Chart:

  • Spores: 3 – 40 microns
  • Mold: 3 – 12 microns
  • Bacteria: 0.3 – 60 microns
  • Car emissions: 1 – 150 microns
  • Pure oxygen: 0.0005 microns

How do HEPA filters work?

To put it simply, HEPA filters trap air contaminants in a complex web of fibers. Depending on the size of the particle, this can happen in four different ways: Inertial Impaction, Diffusion, Interception, or Sieving.

Larger contaminants are trapped via inertial impaction and sieving. The particles either collide with the fibers and become trapped or are trapped while attempting to travel through the fibers. Medium sized particles, as they move through the filter, are grabbed by the fibers via interception. Smaller particles are dissipated as they travel through the filter and eventually collide with a fiber and are trapped.
