Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical study of the aerosol penetration
through an electret fibrous filter, using a numerical approach. The aerosol sizes
considered in this study were in the submicron range, and in the numerical model,
the conventional mechanical mechanisms (impaction, interception, diffusion and
gravitationally settling) were taken into consideration along with the electrostatic
mechanisms, including the Coulombic and dielectrophoretic effects. The aerosol
penetration through an electret fibrous filter is heavily dependent on the aerosol
penetration of a single fibre. The aerosol penetration through a single electret
fibre under various filtration conditions was calculated. The effects of aerosol
diameter, aerosol and fibre charge state, face velocity, packing density and aerosol
dielectric constant on the aerosol penetration were investigated. |
