  • Filter and method for making a filter
    Patent number: 6077335
    Abstract: A filter is provided which includes an organic vapor adsorbing layer, a first particulate removal layer, and a second particulate removal layer. The organic vapor adsorbing layer includes porous adsorbent beads which allow air or gas to flow therethrough with little resistance and provide increased surface area by virtue of the pores. The particulate removal layer can be made from an electrostatic and/or polytetraflouroethylene. The filter can have a figure of merit greater than about 10 and a capacity for permanently adsorbing organic vapors, wherein the figure of merit is calculated based upon a fractional efficiency determined for particles having a size of 0.3 .mu.m in an air flow having a velocity of 10.5 ft./min and for Frazier permeability at 0.5 inches H.sub.2 O.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 1999
    Date of Patent: June 20, 2000
    Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.
    Inventors: Kirk A. Schneider, Henry J. Drasner, III, Allan L. Liebrenz, Katsushi Isogawa, Stanley Bucknam Miller, III, Paul Lawrence Kojetin, Cynthia D. Bellefeuille, Andrew J. Dallas, Suzan K. Nunnink
