摘要

High Efficiency Particulate(HEPA)filters are defined to have a removal efficiency of at least 99.97%for particles 0.3 micrometers or larger.Filtering efficiency is routinely determined with an aerosol photometer using DOP(dioctyl phthalate)smoke as the challenge agent.This testing does not,however, directly answer the question of how much particulate matter penetrates a HEPA filter while the filter is actually in use.To answer this question,one would require the ability to measure both particle size distribution and number density downstream of the HEPA filter.Variability in the size distribution, chemical matrix of the particles,and particle density lead to significant uncertainty in such measurements. In spite of these considerable difficulties,increasing public concern over possible emissions and increasing regulatory scrutiny may eventually require that operators continuously monitor the particulate matter(PM)concentration downstream of HEPA filters. rnA number of standards may be applicable to these measurements,including those issued by US-EPA,US- DOE,ASME,IEST,and ASTM.Because the expected particle concentration downstream of a properly functioning HEPA filter is so low,the statistics of particle counting and the application of uncertainty analysis are important considerations. rnDIAL has undertaken a project to measure the performance of HEPA filters,using challenge aerosols other than DOP.We have employed four different techniques for these measurements: rn1)EPA Reference Method 5i–gravimetric. rn2)Electrical Low-Pressure Impactor(ELPI)–determination of PM mass concentration,particle size distribution and number density concentration. rn3)Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer(SMPS)-electric mobility determination of PM mass concentration,particle size distribution and number density concentration. rn4)Diffusion Battery and Condensation Particle Counter(CPC)-determination of PM mass concentration,particle size distribution and number density concentration. rnIn addition,we have made measurements of gross particle number density,without size discrimination, using a condensation particle counter. rnWe compare these various instruments and techniques,with particular emphasis on two applications: measuring emissions and monitoring HEPA filters for failure.Results include comparisons among different instruments while sampling the same aerosol source.Both operational considerations and performance of the instrumentation will be discussed.
