Filtration Principles Of Air Filter
Filtration Principles Filtration of particles relies on four main principles: (1) inertial impaction, (2)interception, (3) diffusion, and (4) electrostatic attraction. The first three of these mechanisms apply mainly to mechanical filters and are influenced by particle size. inertial impaction 1) Impaction occurs when a particle traveling in the air stream deviates from the air stream (due to particle inertia) and collides with a fiber. Generally impaction filters can only satisfactorily collect particles above 10 microns in size and therefore are used only [...]
