4 What is MERV? M…Minimum E…Efficiency R…Reporting V…Value This standard establishes a test procedure for evaluating the performance of air-cleaning devices as a function of particle size. MERV is a single number value for the engineering community by which to select an air filter. It indicates how a filter performs at its lowest point of particle capture efficiency. ASHRAE Standard 52-2007-B With Appendix J

5 ASHRAE 52.2 – 2007(B) Addendum B Published (Sept 2008) Non Mandatory Appendix – Appendix J has been added – SPECIFIABLE value – MERV-A – The filter should be tested per ASHRAE 52.2 (including Appendix J) – The resulting MERV-A must have the same (or higher) numerical value when compared to the MERV value. Dust Holding Capacity was added Dust Weight Arrestance was added

6 ASHRAE 52.2 – 2007-B with appendix J Status of revision – January 2008 the committee approved the addition of the KCl conditioning step into 52.2 Informative Appendix – Appendix J Non mandatory This accomplished 2 goals – It give us a SPECIFIABLE value – Gets the method used and industry momentum will push it into the standard – Approved Addendum B Brings DHC and Arrestance into 52.2

9 9 Mechanical air filters remove particles from the air stream when particles come into contact with the surface of fibers in the filter media and adhere to the fibers. Principles of Filtration Pleated filters made from nonwoven fabrics operate chiefly on the principles of: mechanical filtration

10 Particle movement < 0.1 µm0.1 - 1.0 µm1 - 10 µm> 10 µm + _ - - Electrostatic (<10 µm)

11 Straining, Sieving (Screen Door)

13 Inertia Effect, Primarily > 1  m Effect increases with increasing velocity, particle size Impaction, Inertia

14 Filters Operating Primarily on Impaction, Inertia Pleated or Extended Surface Filters ASHRAE 52.2 Efficiency MERV 6-8 ASHRAE Arrestance 90%+ Up to 200 Grams DHC Changeout Point - 1.0” Media Velocity >100 fpm

15 Interception effect, 0.5-3  m Increases with increasing particle size, decreasing fibre diameter Interception

16 Filters Operating Primarily on Interception Bag Filters Rigid Filters V-Bed Filters ASHRAE 52.2 Efficiency MERV 9-16 Arrestance 92%+ DHC and Final Changeout Points Vary by System and Manufacturer Media Velocity < 35 fpm

17 Diffusion effect,< 0.5  m Increases with increasing fibre diameter, particle size, velocity Happens with all filters, more predominant as efficiency increases Diffusion

18 18 Principles of Filtration Methods of Contact ImpactionInterception Straining Diffusion

19 19 Principles of Filtration Another method is known as electrostatic and typically involves a large synthetic fiber which carries an electrical charge. This is how a nonwoven fabric produced chiefly from large fibers captures smaller dirt particles

20 + + + - - Increases with increasing charge on fibre, charge on particle, decreasing, particle size, velocity Electrostatic Charge Attraction

21 21 Principles of Filtration Electrostatic Filters utilizing large diameter fiber media rely on electrostatic charges to increase their efficiency of fine particle removal. Large diameter fiber media is normally chosen due to low cost and resistance to airflow. However, these filters often lose their electrostatic charge over time because the particles captured on their surface occupy charged sites, therefore neutralizing their electrostatic charge.

23 23 An electrically charged television or computer monitor screen will attract nearby dust particles. Some particles land directly on the screen and are held in place by the charge. Others pass nearby, are attracted by the charged screen and are pulled onto the screen. Still others are attracted to the screen, but are not within range to be totally captured. Finally, other particles are simply too far away to feel any significant effect. To understand how an electrostatic fiber works, we can look at a television screen.

24 24 An electrically charged television or computer monitor screen will attract nearby dust particles. Some particles land directly on the screen and are held in place by the charge. Others pass nearby, are attracted by the charged screen and are pulled onto the screen. Still others are attracted to the screen, but are not within range to be totally captured. Finally, other particles are simply too far away to feel any significant effect. To understand how an electrostatic fiber works, we can look at a television screen. So, the question is, left un-cleaned, why doesn’t your television screen cake over with inches of dust since the particles are being held in place by an electrical attraction?

25 25 The dust particles accumulated on your screen will eventually act as an insulator and/or the screen will become discharged. The results is nearby particles are no longer attracted and captured.

26 26 Fiber Size & Particle Capture Imagine yourself a small dirt particle being carried through in an airstream. In which one are you more likely to get captured?

27 Coarse Fiber vs. Fine Fiber 27

28 When to Change Filters Time –Convenient & easier for SOP’s –Will use more filters –Higher disposal costs –Higher labor cost Resistance to Airflow (Pressure Drop) –Logistics more difficult –Maximize filter life –Lower disposal costs (less changes) –Lower labor cost Visual Inspection (Dirty filter)

29 When to Change Filters And the conditions say… –Inlet vanes are about 60% open –Filter gauge says 0.30”wg

30 When to Change Filters Appearance –What about these filters? –This one?

34 34 High efficiency of capture of small particles in real life conditions over the entire life of the filter Indoor Air Quality Lowest real life average resistance while holding more dust as measured in real life conditions Filters that pass a test vs filters that work What Makes a Filter Compare Favorably on Total Cost of Ownership?
