New test methods for air filters. Do they reflect the "real life" performances?

Author(s) : GUSTAVSSON J.

Summary

New laboratory test methods using different dusts have been developed for measuring and classifying air filters but could give very misleading results compared with filter behaviour in an installation. The paper describes the differences between laboratory tests and performances in atmospheric air. It provides a basis for a better understanding of air filters and filter testing to meet IAQ problems and to reflect a filter's behaviour "in service".
