  • Patent number: 11273399
    Abstract: A filter medium comprising a first conductive fibrous substrate, a second conductive fibrous substrate spaced apart from the first conductive substrate and a third insulation substrate fitted between the first and the second substrates for electrically separating the first conductive substrate from the second conductive substrate. The first conductive fibrous substrate comprises a first layer with first fibers having a first average diameter; a second layer with second fibers having a second average diameter; and a third layer with third fibers having a third average diameter. The second layer comprises activated carbon in an amount sufficient to render the first fibrous substrate conductive. The present medium can be used in electrified filters for cabin air filtration for passenger cars and other vehicles. It can also be used for HVAC filtration for indoor air, and in portable air purification units and even in vacuum cleaners.
