Patent number: 12214364Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Environmental Management Confederation, Inc.Inventors: Forwood C. Wiser, III, George R. Summers, Benjamin H. Kaeppner

Patent number: 9789494Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Environmental Management Confederation, Inc.Inventors: Forwood C.
