Filter Media Loading Characteristics for Liquid-Coated Particles

摘要

The pressure drop across the filter media as a function of particle loading time is one of the important filter medium loading characteristics. In the past most of the filter loading studies had focused on the filters loaded with either solid or liquid particles. However, particles coated with a variety of liquids are often encountered in the ambient and in industrial working places. Examples of liquid-coated particles are those emitted from diesel/gasoline engines and the crankcases of automobile engines, and those produced during the machining processes e.g., grinding and milling operations (so called metalworking (MWF) fluid aerosol).
