摘要: Many efforts are being made to develop filters with high efficiency and high holding capacity but remaining a low pressure drop. A two-layer composite filter to achieve the goal was developed, in which the first layer was a charged coarse fibers to provide large void space for particle loading and the second was a thin layer of charged melt-blown with finer fibers to enhance the overall efficiency. Experimental results showed that although the new composite media had a lower initial efficiency than the other two HEPA filters (PTFE and glass fiber filter), its figure of merit (FOM) was the highest. Besides, the composite media had a better holding capacity for PM2.5 than the other two. At a fixed mass load, i.e., 2 g m(-2), the PTFE (Delta P = 380 Pa) and glass fiber (Delta P = 165 Pa) required around 7.6 and 3.3 times more power, respectively, than the composite media (Delta P = 50 Pa). Due to the low charge level of the coarse fiber layer and the fine fiber diameter of the melt-blown layer, resulted in no efficiency reduction along the loading process. Theoretical analysis showed that the charge shielding and the loss of efficiency in the successive top-down layers were timely compensated by the efficiency enhancement caused by the loading effects, which made the composite media a much uniform deposition of PM2.5 in layers. This was the main reason resulting in the high holding capacity and low pressure drop of the current composite media which acted like a perfect depth filtration media.
