Test Principle
Differential Pressure Testing: Filter media is securely mounted in a test fixture. Differential pressure across the filter is measured to determine filtration efficiency and dust loading.
Fractional Efficiency Measurement: Optical particle counters measure filtration efficiency from 0.2 to 10 µm. Sample switching units ensure single-device measurement.
Dust Loading & Capacity: Measures pressure increase under varying dust loads; filter weight is recorded electronically to ensure accuracy.
Operation Instructions
System Startup:
- Verify all connections (air, power, aerosol generator) and calibrate equipment.
- Configure test parameters (aerosol type, flow range) and start the system.
Safety:
- Avoid direct contact with aerosols; wear gloves and safety glasses.
- Monitor differential pressure, flow rate, and system status.
Filter Replacement:
- Use the fixture to remove or replace filter media safely and efficiently.
Experimental Procedure
Preparation:
- Set test conditions according to selected standards (ISO 16890, EN 779, etc.).
- Install and secure filter media in the test fixture.
Testing:
- Start the system; automated measurement of differential pressure, fractional efficiency, and dust loading.
- System adjusts flow and aerosol concentration as needed.
Data Recording & Reporting:
- After completion, generate test reports including differential pressure curves, fractional efficiency, and dust loading.
- Export data for analysis and documentation.
Maintenance Information
Regularly clean and calibrate aerosol generators and particle counters.
Check airflow and differential pressure sensors periodically.
Keep system components free of dust and contamination.
