23、EN 1822-3:2009 (E) 4 Introduction As decided by CEN/TC 195, this European Standard is based on particle counting methods which actually cover most needs of different applications. The difference between this European Standard and previous national standards lies in the technique used for the determi

24、nation of the integral efficiency. Instead of mass relationships, this technique is based on particle counting at the most penetrating particle size (MPPS), which is for micro-glass filter mediums usually in the range of 0,12 m to 0,25 m. For Membrane filter media, separate rules apply, see Annex A

25、of EN 1822-5:2009. This method also allows to test ultra low penetration air filters, which was not possible with the previous test methods because of their inadequate sensitivity. BS EN 1822-3:2009EN 1822-3:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard applies to high efficiency particulate air filters

26、 and ultra low penetration air filters (EPA, HEPA and ULPA) used in the field of ventilation and air conditioning and for technical processes, e.g. for applications in clean room technology or pharmaceutical industry. It establishes a procedure for the determination of the efficiency on the basis of

27、 a particle counting method using a liquid test aerosol, and allows a standardized classification of these filters in terms of their efficiency. This European Standard applies to testing sheet filter media used in high efficiency air filters. The procedure includes methods, test assemblies and condi

28、tions for carrying out the test, and the basis for calculating results. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

All samples shall be clearly and permanently marked with the following details: a) The designation of the filter medium; b) The upstream side of the filter medium. 7 Test apparatus 7.1 General The test

33、apparatus to be used and the arrangement of the components and measuring equipment are shown in Figure 1 of EN 1822-1:2009. The basic details for the aerosol generation and the aerosol neutralisation, together with the details of suitable types of apparatus are contained in EN 1822-2. 7.2 Test arran

34、gements for testing with monodisperse test aerosol When testing sheet filter media with a monodisperse test aerosol the particle number concentration is determined using a total count method with a condensation nucleus counter. The arrangement of the test apparatus is shown in Figure 1. The monodisp

35、erse test aerosol is created in a number of steps. Firstly a polydisperse primary aerosol is produced using a jet nebuliser with, for example, a DEHS/Iso-propanol solution. The particles are reduced to a BS EN 1822-3:2009EN 1822-3:2009 (E) 8 convenient size for the following process by evaporation o

36、f the solvent. The aerosol is then neutralised and passed to a differential mobility analyser. The quasi-monodisperse test aerosol available at the output of the differential mobility analyser is once again neutralised, and then mixed homogeneously with filtered test air in order to achieve at the t

37、est volume flow rate required for the filter medium velocity. The mean particle diameter of the number distribution is varied by adjusting the voltage between the electrodes of the differential mobility analyzer1)In order to achieve a sufficiently high particle number concentration over the entire t

38、est range from 0,04 m to 0,8 m it may prove necessary to use several jet nebulizers with differing concentrations of the aerosol substances in the solvent. Numerical concentrations which are too high can be adjusted by diluting the test aerosol before the test filter mounting assembly. The number co

39、ncentration in the test aerosol shall be selected so that no dilution is necessary for the measurements made downstream from the filter. A pump positioned downstream draws the test aerosol through the test filter mounting assembly. This ensures that the differential mobility analyser can always oper

40、ate under nearly the same conditions, independent of the pressure drop across the tested filter medium. In contrast, where the testing system operates with an overpressure this ensures that leaks in the system do not falsify the test measurements. Particles are counted upstream and downstream from t

41、he filter using either two condensation nucleus counters in parallel, or using only one such counter to measure the upstream and downstream concentrations alternately. If the level of the upstream number concentration exceeds the measuring range of the counter then a dilution system shall be include

42、d between the sampling point and the counter. 1) Actually, the adjustment gives the mode of number distribution. This can be taken as equal to the median value with sufficient accuracy.

In order to cover the test range it may be necessary to use several jet nebulisers with different concentrations of the aerosol su

Instead of the single or two parallel condensation nucleus counters, optical particle counters are used t

When testing with a polydisperse test aerosol and particle counting and sizing equipment it is also necessary to ensure that the number concent

48、ration of the test aerosol is adjusted to suit the measuring range of the particle counter if necessary by the inclusion of a dilution system.
