Effect of Water Cleaning on Performance of Air Filtration Medias

Abstract:

Air filtration media are designed for disposable, but in some application, it should be used for some times with water cleaning. Through experiments, the performances of filter, which are cleaned with water for many times, including filtration efficiency, resistance, dust capacity are studied in the paper. The experimental results show that water cleaning has less effect on filtration efficiency, resistance and dust capacity of the filter media. Therefore, air filtration media can be used repeatedly by way of water cleaning.
