Investigation of the figure of merit for filters with a single nanofiber layer on a substrate
Using the model of gas flow we are able to calculate the instantaneous field of gas velocity, u(x,t) inside the elementary cell in this layer and the instantaneous pressure drop.
Single collector efficiency of particle deposition was calculated for deterministic effects namely, interception, inertial impaction, sedimentation and electrostatic interaction between a particle and collector, as well as for Brownian motion of particle using multilayer filter structure, the filtration efficiency of the filter was determinated, as a function of filtration parameters.
Theoretical results were verified in experiment measurements. Fibres made at polyacryl, polypropylene and glass were used as filter material placed in the filter holders of rectangular shape. An electrostatic field was generated between two flat electrodes connected with high voltage DC supply. The efficiency of filtration and pressure drop was measured as a function of particle and fibre diameters, electrostatic properties of their material, configuration of external field, fibrous porosity and gas velocity. The examples of measurements is shown in Fig. 2.
The results of measurements are in a good qualitative agreement with the theory.

Leclerc Abstract The collection and cleaning cycles of the filter media used in industrial air cleaning were analysed experimentally. Examination of the simultaneous pressure drop and filtration efficiency changes established that the efficiency of filters increases sharply during the collection phase only to fall back during cleaning. The amplitude of this reduction of efficiency is attained as the cycles progress. In contrast, the residual pressure drop rises. Our study has shown that treating the surface with thermobonding or covering the surface with a fine layer of submicronic fibres promotes detachment of the dust cake and prevents particle penetration inside the initial porous media. 70d7702c8a2370a7f8064b&ie=/sdarticle.pdf"> ![]() |
