Abstract

ABSTRACT In spite of extensive research and development work illustrating the significant advantages of Electrically Stimulated Filters (ESF's), this technology has not been commercially successful. This paper addresses this subject by analyzing conventional filter and ESF cost effectiveness in HEFA, clean room and indoor air cleaning applications. A new cost effective form of ESF technology has been considered: a single (charging and collection) field device. The laboratory performance of five commercially available conventional filters and the new ESF is characterized in terms of efficiency versus particle size, flow rate versus pressure drop and dirt loading characteristics. Using this information and the application requirements, the cost effectiveness of the ESF has been established with respect to conventional filters. Both initial and operating costs are discussed. The results show that ESF technology is cost effective for indoor applications even where space constraints are not important. Space co...
