My current pc case has air filters made out of what seems a thin nylon thread mesh, which is great at collecting dust and doesnt restrict airflow much. Any leads. Oh an im not looking for those lamo cablamo magnetic dust filter things, just the material.	Slankydudl (16687)

If so, they have large filter bags which are replaced each year, they are never very dirty and could easily be cut up and washed to do what you require. Also inside Heat Pumps there are the type of materials which you mentioned which are changed every year, you could grab some old ones, wash them, and cut to size.	zqwerty (97)

For example, if the holes in the filter or mesh have a total area of one half of the filter area, the flow rate will be at least halved. IMO, it is probably better to maximise flow rate and clean out the system more frequently.	Terry Porritt (14)
