Leap-Ahead Air Filtration Innovations and Technologies (LAAFIT)

摘要

The Phase I objective was to prove that it is possible to create an air filtration system, with a non-barrier filter, that is capable of achieving 99.5% efficiency, in the lab, with either a fine or coarse dust. The proposed solution is to consider size, weight and power consumption. The underling goal is create a system that can be of use to a vehicle of military significance. The proposal and work that Sy-Klone has focused on during Phase I is to develop and optimize a version of our powered air cleaning system technology. Current offerings do not meet the efficiency nor the ultimate engine air flow ranges indicated in the topic. The proposal that Sy-Klone is developing incorporates a high efficiency brushless DC motor which offers reliable power in a compact design. It also incorporates a computer optimized, ducted, fan similar to what might be found in a modern turbojet engine. During this phase Sy-Klone has concentrated its in-house and contracted efforts on mathematical and computer modeling. Preliminary testing of significant milestone configurations of concept model-level prototypes has been done to support the theoretical predictions.
