Overview of Nanofibers Applications for Air Cleaning

The Need for Air Cleaning Air filtration intake systems perform a number of functions including reducing intake noise and removing moisture. Clean air is needed to prevent wear of moving parts and prevent workers in high dust environments from developing respiratory problems. All of air contaminants entering equipment can and will lead to unnecessary wear, shorter machine life, and increased maintenance costs.

Recent Development in Heavy Duty Engine Air Filtration and the Role of Nanofiber Filter Media

The development of an engine air filter is based on filter performance requirements, vehicle’s operational environment, available space, filter media properties, and production technology. The design process includes analyses of theoretical and empirical models describing filter media performance and aerosol flow in filter housings and through filter elements. Filter media are carefully selected based upon these models and simplified laboratory tests. The filter element design is evaluated in great detail through a series of laboratory and field experiments.
