Advanced Filter Tester for Size Resolved Penetration Measurements
Ondráček, Jakub ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Aerosol filtration is the most widely used process to capture aerosol particles. It is used in various applications throughout the different areas of interest (emissions cleaning, occupation safety and health, air-conditioning, etc.). In most of these applications, it is useful to have information about penetration, or filtration efficiency, of the chosen filtration material. Information available from filter manufactures, a background of a decision on which filter to use for the specific purposes, is usually not detailed enough. Therefore, new, fully controlled filter testing instrument was developed and thoroughly tested, providing a size-dependent penetration; proving a very good precision and reproducibility of the results. Using this instrument we have measured several commercial filter materials including standard filters (Whatmann, Milipore, Pall) and personal respirators (e.g. 3M).

Characterization of Filter Materials for Aerosol Research – Size Resolved Penetration
Ondráček, Jakub ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The comparison of penetrations for different types of filtration materials showed wide variety of penetration curves, MPPS and the maximum penetration. This study also confirmed our initial doubts about the standard filter efficiency testing method, regarding the used testing material, setting of MPPS and measuring only the total penetration of polydisperse aerosol. Therefore, such a study could serve also as a basis for improvements in the filter efficiency standard method, which seems to give insufficient and in some perspectives limited or even misleading information.
