Description:
The Environmental Technology Verification report discusses the technology and performance of the Predator II, Model 8VADTP123C23CC000 air filter for dust and bioaerosol filtration manufactured by Tri-Dim Filter Corporation. The pressure drop across the filter was 138 Pa clean and 348 Pa dust loaded. The filtration efficiency when the filter was clean was 94% for Bacillus atrophaeus, 95% for Serratia marcescens, and 96% for bacteriophage MS2. The filtration efficiency when the filter was dust loaded was 99.8% for Bacillus atrophaeus, 99.9% for Serratia marcescens, and 99.7% for bacteriophage MS2. The ASHRAE 52.2 dust filtration efficiency was 80% for particles between 0.3 and 1.0 micrometers, 98% for particles between 1.0 and 3.0 micrometers, and 99% for particles between 3.0 and 10 micrometers. The minimum efficiency reporting value was 14 at 0.93 cubic meters per sec.
