HEPA definition

HEPA means high efficiency particulate air.
HEPA means High Efficiency Particulate Air (filter).
HEPA means the designation given to a product, device, or system that has been equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air filter, which is a filter capable of removing particles of 0.3 microns or larger from air at 99.97 per cent or greater efficiency.

Examples of HEPA in a sentence

  • For those occupied areas without a centralized HVAC system that provides air filtration with a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) of 13 or better, portable HEPA air filtration units with a clean air delivery rate (CADR) of 250 or greater per 1000 square feet of floor area will be used.

  • In the alternative, Producer may conduct air filtration using portable HEPA filters in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

  • Portables and/or other rooms without HVAC or means of natural ventilation shall be equipped with low noise HEPA air filters with a large enough capacity and flow rate for the square footage of the room.

  • They are: • Open-flame burning or torching • Sanding, grinding, planing, needle gunning, or blasting with power tools and equipment not equipped with a shroud and HEPA vacuum attachment • Using a heat gun at temperatures greater than 1100°F • Clean up thoroughly.

  • All classrooms shall use any combination of mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation, and HEPA air purifiers, as the individual room characteristics dictate, to provide adequate air exchanges.
