30、ifferent 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 relationships, this technique is based on particle counting at the most penetrating particle size (MPPS),
31、which is for micro-glass filter mediums usually in the range of 0,12 m to 0,25 m. This method also allows to test ultra low penetration air filters, which was not possible with the previous test methods because of their inadequate sensitivity. For Membrane and synthetic filter media, separate rules
32、apply; see Annexes A and B of EN 1822-5:2009. 5EN 1822-4:2009 (E) DIN EN 1822-4:2011-01 1 Scope This European Standard applies to efficient air filters (EPA), high efficiency air filters (HEPA) and ultra low penetration air filters (ULPA-filters) used in the field of ventilation and air conditioning
33、 and for technical processes, e.g. for applications in clean room technology or pharmaceutical industry. It establishes a procedure for the determination of the efficiency on the basis of a particle counting method using an artificial test aerosol, and allows a standardized classification of these f
34、ilters in terms of their efficiency. This part of EN 1822 applies to the leak testing of filter elements. The scan method which is described in detail regarding procedure, apparatus and test conditions in the body of this standard is valid for the complete range of group H and U filters and is consi
35、dered to be the reference test method for leak determination. The “Oil Thread Leak Test” according to Annex A and the “0,3 m - 0,5 m Particle Efficiency Leak Test” according to Annex E may be used alternatively but for defined classes of group H filters only. 2 Normative references The following ref

40、h allows both the determination of the number of particles and also the classification of the particles according to size (e.g. by using an optical particle counter) 3.3 particle flow rate number of particles which are measured or which flow past a specified cross section in unit time 6EN 1822-4:200
41、9 (E) DIN EN 1822-4:2011-01 3.4 particle flow distribution distribution of the particle flow over a plane at right angles to the direction of flow 4 Description of the procedure The leakage test serves to test the filter element for local penetration values which exceed permissible levels (see EN 18
42、22-1). For leakage testing the test filter is installed in the mounting assembly and subjected to a test air flow corresponding to the nominal air flow rate. After measuring the pressure drop at the nominal volume flow rate, the filter is purged and the test aerosol produced by the aerosol generator
43、 is mixed with the prepared test air along a mixing duct so that it is spread homogeneously over the cross-section of the duct. The particle flow rate on the downstream side of the test filter is smaller than the particle flow rate reaching the filter on the upstream side by the factor mean penetrat
44、ion. The manufacturing irregularities of the filter material or leaks lead to a variation of the particle flow rate over the filter face area. In addition, leaks at the boundary areas and within the components of the test filter (sealant, filter frame, seal of the filter mounting assembly) can lead
45、locally to an increase in the particle flow rate on the downstream side of the test filter. For the leakage test, the particle flow distribution shall be determined on the downstream side of the filter in order to check where the limit values are exceeded. The coordinates of these positions shall be
46、 recorded. The scanning tracks shall also cover the area of the filter frame, the corners, the sealant between filter frame and the gasket so that possible leaks in these areas can also be detected. It is advisable to scan filters for leaks with their original gasket mounted and in the same mounting
47、 position and air flow direction as they are installed on site. In order to measure the downstream particle flow distribution, a probe with defined geometry shall be used on the downstream side to take a specified partial flow as sample. From this partial flow, a sample volume flow rate shall be led
48、 to a particle counter which counts the particles and displays the results as a function of time. During the testing, the probe moves at a defined speed in touching or overlapping tracks without gaps (see B.4.2 and B.4.3) close to the downstream side of the filter element. The measuring period for the downstream particle flow distribution can be shortened by using several measuring systems (partial flow extractors/particle counters) operating in parallel. The measurement of the coordinates of the probe, a defined probe speed, and measurem
