Description:
The Environmental Technology Verification report discusses the technology and performance of the BioCel I (Type SH) air filter for dust and bioaerosol filtration manufactured by AAF International. The pressure drop across the filter was 236 Pa clean and 478 Pa dust loaded, and the filtration efficiency for all bioaerosols tested was over 99% both when the filter was clean and when dust loaded. The ASHRAE 52.2 dust filtration efficiency was 97% for particles between 0.3 and 1.0 micrometers, 99% for particles between 1.0 and 3.0 micrometers, and 100% for particles between 3.0 and 10 micrometers. The minimum efficiency reporting value was 16 at 0.93 cubic meters per sec.
