Abstract: Filter media for an active field polarized media air cleaner includes two layers of dielectric material with a higher resistance air permeable screen sandwiched between the lower resistivity electric layers. The filter media may further include a mixed fiber filter layer having fibers from different sides of the triboelectric scale. The filter media may further include a layer of relatively higher density dielectric material followed by a layer of relatively lower density dielectric material.

Abstract: An active field polarized filter includes a scrimless filter media that includes a mixture of polypropylene fibers with polymethaphenylene isophtalamide fibers. This mixture may be in the form of a nonwoven material having a weight ratio of polymethaphenylene isophtalamide fibers to polypropylene fibers ranging between 5:95 and 50:50, and even more preferably between 10:90 and 30:70.

Abstract: A media design for modular use in an air cleaning or HVAC systems to removes gas phase contaminants. The design allows for a control of gas contaminant removal using variable media length, path length, and contact time to ensure a contained MTZ length and low pressure drop. In one embodiment, the design includes a filter module at an angle to an airflow and an air filter mounted within the filter frame. The filter module may include channels therethrough that are oriented at the optimum angle in relation to the airflow to provide the required dwell time and pressure drop for a given application.

Abstract: A filter assembly having two frames. The two frames are connected by a hinge about which they rotate. The two frames hold a filter media there between. The two frames are locked using one or more latches that are located along a side rail of the at least one of the two frames. The one or more latches are flushed with an edge of the side rails of the two frames, to couple the two frames in a closed position.

Abstract: An air filter has a mechanism for preventing blow-by around a perimeter of the filter. The air filter has two rigid frames surrounding a filter and at least one of the rigid frames comprises a brush seal track with a brush seal therein. The air filter includes a latching mechanism to engage the rigid frames to each other and a handle for installation and removal.

Abstract: Improvements in active field polarized media air cleaner include an aerodynamic front cowling to reduce static air resistance, a rear double hinge to reduce blow by, a resistive center screen permitting the sharing of high voltage power supplies while reducing the tendency to arc and allowing for a higher operational voltage, a dielectric media support frame to produce a more uniform electrostatic field and reduce blow by, while at the same time reducing the tendency to spray corona and/or arc at the edges of the center screen, a substantially flat conductive outer screen to produce a more uniform electrostatic field throughout the filter media and a high-voltage shield to reduce high-voltage arcing and the spraying of corona where the high-voltage probe contacts the center screen.
