Abstract The report gives results of a study to identify cake characteristics affecting performance and, in turn, to relate the production of desirable cake properties to fabric structure and filtration conditions. (Earlier studies showed that differences in filtration performance produced by certain modifications of nonwoven filter fabrics are due largely to the development of different dust cake structures.) The amount of dust capture as a function of depth into the filter was measured using nonwovens formed in layers. Comparing trilobal cross-section filters fibers with round fibers, the largest advantages in capture efficiency due to trilobal fibers are in the upstream layers where the largest amounts of dust accumulate. Preliminary studies with composite layered filters also show that filtration performance is dominated by the upstream layer. Dust cake structure is influenced by fiber geometry, by the charge on the particles, and by any electric field on the filter. Theoretical calculations of single-fiber collection efficiencies support the experimental findings that capture of both charged and uncharged particles on fibers of any cross-sectional shape is more likely if an electric field is imposed perpendicular rather than parallel to the flow. As for fiber cross-sectional shape, capture should improve with increasing lobe number and depth.
