Hey, new findng for the Samsung AX40.
(1) The filter depth is 40mm.
So the Taobao customised HEPA of 45mm ain't that deep anyway. Coz the PP media that TB uses is quite a bit more restrictive than the good stuff that original manufacturers like Sharp/LG/Samsung use. Despite being only about 97% efficient @ 0.3microns vs 99.9+ @ 0.3 microns measured for the Samsung with my laser particle counter.
I need to spec the Taobao filter to 60mm in order to increase 10% airflow above the 40mm Samsung HEPA filter. 45mm Taobao HEPA would still be a wee bit below in airflow compared to the 40mm Samsung HEPA.
Of course, all these are masturbation specs. It doesn't really matter much in real life. The Samsung AX40 easily does 10-15 ACH in the bedrooms depending on whether yours is new BTO or old resale (factored in furnitures liao).
For those who have been using the AX40 for quite a while, eg since 2014 haze season, you might wanna use a sharp knife to separate the Activated Charcoal filter from the HEPA.
Before separation measurement. 15.42kph.
After separation measurement. 16.41kph
Increase in airflow = 6.4%.
That's an increase of 20.7 m3/hr, or say 323m3/hr -> 343 m3/hr.
Don't worry, the GAC already would have lost its effectiveness in about 3 months of usage.
Cut along the black masking tape with a pen knife. Do not rip out the PU foam as that's the HEPA seal.

my whole family isn't that affected by it, no allergies, cough, asthma etc. and no old people/kids.

I see most people here are looking at higher CADR APs for bigger rooms. What about compact APs like these for smaller rooms (e.g 15m^2)? Do these work?
