| Abstract |
An experiment designed to measure the efficiencies of different lots of Pallflex T60A20 teflon-coated glass fiber filters has been completed. Results of these tests indicated that: (1) batch-to-batch variation of filters is generally less than 2 percent, and (2) this media will not satisfy the 98 percent filter efficiency requirement on all vehicles. The test procedure specified in the light-duty diesel particulate NPRM requires: (1) a filter efficiency of 98 percent, or greater efficiency and (2) that fluorocarbon-coated glass fiber filters must be used for testing. Some manufacturers have expressed concern that the 98 percent filter media efficiency requirement will be difficult to meet, and that there is a significant batch-to-batch variability with this media. Hence, a brief test program was conducted to evaluate the significance of these concerns. Two different production vehicles were used to evaluate batch-to-batch variation of the above filters, and also to investigate difficulties in meeting the 98 percent filter efficiency requirement. |
