Abstract: Filter arrangements for industrial air cleaners include a barrier media, usually pleated, treated with a deposit of fine fiber. The media is particularly advantageous in high temperature (greater than 140° F.) operating environments.

Abstract: Disclosed are improved polymer materials. Also disclosed are fine fiber materials that can be made from the improved polymeric materials in the form of microfiber and nanofiber structures. The microfiber and nanofiber structures can be used in a variety of useful applications including the formation of filter materials.

Abstract: Filter arrangements include a barrier media in the form of fluted media treated with a deposit of fine fibers. The media is particularly advantageous in high temperature (greater than 140 to 240° F.) systems. Such systems may include engine systems, gas turbine systems, and fuel cell systems. Filter arrangements may take the form of media packs having a circular cross-section or a racetrack shaped cross-section, or media packs formed in a panel configuration.

Abstract: Filter arrangements for mist removal include a barrier media, usually pleated, and treated with a deposit of fine fibers. Filter arrangements may take the form of tubular, radially sealing elements; tubular, axial sealing elements; forward flow air cleaners; reverse flow air cleaners; and panel filters and can have multiple layers of fine fiber containing pleated media.

Abstract: Methods for cleaning air intake for a gas turbine system include utilizing filter arrangements that include a barrier media, usually pleated, treated with a deposit of fine fibers. The media is particularly advantageous in high operating temperature (140 to 350° F.) and/or high humidity (greater than 50 to 90% RH) environments.

Abstract: The filter structures commonly known as a bag house or a filter bag or an air filter with a bag construction can be made by preparing the bag assembly, either in a tubular or a bi-fold construction by placing a layer of fine fiber on the upstream surface of the filter media structure. The filter assembly includes a filter cabinet with an interior component. The filter component is suspended within the filter cabinet interior. The filter component includes a frame or support for the filter media. The frame or support holds the filter bags such that the filter bags are suspended from the frame in the cabinet interior. The intake air enters the cabinet, passes through the filter assembly and exits the cabinet. The air must pass first into the fine fiber layer, the filter media and then the exterior of the cabinet.

Abstract: The use of fine fiber or fiber having a fiber diameter of about 0.0001 to 0.5 microns has become an important design tool for filter media. Common filter media have been prepared with a layer of fine fiber on typically formed the upstream or intake side of the media structure. The fine fiber increases the efficiency of filtration by trapping small particles which increases the overall particulate filtration efficiency of the structure. Improved fine fiber structures have been developed in which a controlled amount of fine fiber is placed on both sides of the media to result in an improvement in filter efficiency but a substantial improvement in lifetime.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the filtration efficiency of a moving air-permeable web. The apparatus includes a sampling head with an upstream head and a downstream head disposed on opposite sides of the moving web and spaced apart to define a path for web travel. Particle laden air from the upstream head passes through the moving web and is collected in the downstream head where a sampling probe is disposed to collect filtered air for efficiency measurements. The method can be practice on-line in the media manufacturing process to continuously monitor the filtration characteristics and if necessary change the process condition to maintain the filtration characteristics within design parameters.

Abstract: A photoelectric buffle detector apparatus (20) including a container (22) containing a liquid (24) having a top surface with a top side and an under side. A light emitting source (60) is positioned for emitting light toward the top surface (42) of the liquid (24). A light detecting source (70) positioned for detecting light emitted from the light emitting source (60) and reflected from the top surface (42) of the liquid (24). The light detecting source (70) outputs a signal indicating the presence of a wave pattern at the top surface (42) of the liquid (24) caused by gas bubbles rising to the top surface (42) of the liquid (24).
