2.What Are the Requirements for HEPA Filters in Vacuum Cleaners?

（1）Design Compatibility

• Size and Shape Matching: The HEPA filter must precisely fit the dimensions and shape of the vacuum cleaner's filter compartment. For example, some vacuums use cylindrical filters, while others may require flat or pleated designs. Mismatched sizes can lead to installation difficulties or poor sealing.

• Interface and Fastening Design: The filter must align with the vacuum's filter compartment interface, clips, or securing mechanisms to ensure it remains securely in place without loosening or detaching.

（2）Sealing Performance Requirements

• Leak-Proof Design: The core function of a HEPA filter is high-efficiency filtration, so the vacuum must ensure a complete seal between the filter and its surrounding structure. Gaps or leaks allow unfiltered air to escape, significantly reducing filtration efficiency.

• Sealing Materials: Some vacuums use rubber gaskets or soft materials around the filter edges to enhance sealing. The filter or filter compartment design must support this feature.
