26、 this European Standard is based on particle counting methods which actually cover most needs of different applications. The difference between this European Standard and previous national standards lies in the technique used for the determination of the integral efficiency. Instead of mass relation
27、ships, this technique is based on particle counting at the most penetrating particle size (MPPS), which is for micro-glass filter media usually in the range of 0,12 m to 0,25 m. This method also allows the testing test ultra low penetration air filters, which was not possible with the previous test
28、methods because of their inadequate sensitivity. For membrane and synthetic filter media, separate rules apply, see Annexes A and B of this standard.

29、European Standard applies to efficient particulate air filters (EPA), high efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) and ultra low penetration air filters (ULPA) used in the field of ventilation and air conditioning and for technical processes, e.g. for applications in clean room technology or pharm
30、aceutical industry. It establishes a procedure for the determination of the efficiency on the basis of a particle counting method using a liquid test aerosol, and allows a standardized classification of these filters in terms of their efficiency. This part of the EN 1822 series deals with measuring
31、the efficiency of filter elements, specifying the conditions and procedures for carrying out tests, describing a specimen test apparatus and its components, and including the method for evaluating test results. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the appli

38、ter) 3.4 particle counting and sizing method particle counting method which can determine both the number of particles and also their size distribution (e.g. by using an optical particle counter) 4 Description of the method 4.1 General In order to determine the efficiency of the test filter it is fi
39、xed in the test filter mounting assembly and subjected to a test air volume flow corresponding to the nominal volume flow rate. After measuring the pressure drop at the nominal volume flow rate, the filter is purged with clean air and the test aerosol produced by the aerosol generator is mixed with
40、the prepared test air along a mixing section, so that it is spread homogeneously over the cross section of the duct. The efficiency is always determined for the most penetrating particle size (MPPS) (see EN 1822-3). The size distribution of the aerosol particles can optionally be measured using a pa
41、rticle size analysis system (for example a differential mobility particle sizer, DMPS). The testing can be carried out using either a monodisperse or polydisperse test aerosol. When testing with (quasi-)monodisperse aerosol the total particle counting method can be used with a condensation nucleus c
42、ounter (CNC) or an optical particle counter (OPC; for example a laser particle counter). It shall be ensured that the number median particle diameter corresponds to the MPPS, i.e. the particle diameter at which the filter medium has its minimum efficiency. When using a polydisperse aerosol, an optic
43、al particle counter shall be used, which in addition to counting the particles is also able to determine their size distribution. It shall be ensured that the median diameter DMof the test aerosol lies in the range: 5,12 MPPSDMPPSMIn order to determine the integral efficiency, representative partial
44、 flows are extracted on the upstream and downstream sides of the filter element and led to the attached particle counter to measure the number of particles. The integral efficiency can be determined using one of two methods, either with fixed test sampling probes (see 4.2); or with one or several mo
45、vable sampling probes downstream (scan method) (see 4.3). In both methods the sample upstream is taken using a fixed sampling probe. The upstream and downstream number concentrations and the integral efficiency are calculated from the particle count, the duration of the sampling and the sampling vol
46、ume flow rate.

47、a fixed sampling probe. It is necessary to have a mixing section behind the test filter to mix the aerosol homogeneously with the test air over the duct cross section (see 6.2.4). 4.3 Scan method This integral efficiency can be determined by averaging the readings from the result of the leak test (s
48、can method). The test rig for the scan method is described in EN 1822-4. In the scan method the downstream sampling is carried out directly behind the test filter using one or several moveable sampling probes, which can traverse the entire cross sectional area of the filter and its frame in overlapp
49、ing tracks without any gaps. The test apparatus corresponds largely with that used with stationary sampling probes. The differences in the scanning method are that the downstream mixing section is not included and instead a three-dimensional tracking system is included downstream which moves the probe(s). Since the test duct is usu
