Abstract

In this paper, we discussed the relationship of filter efficiency and pressure drop with the porosity, fiber diameter and filter thickness by Geodict®. We found that filter efficiency has exponential relationship with filter porosity, fiber diameter and thickness. Furthermorethe pressure drop has a linear relationship with filter thickness and exponential relationship with filter porosity and fiber diameter, respectively. The influence of electrostatic charge on the particle deposition has been investigated. Simulation results were compared with the actual test results by TSI 3160.
