  1. Electret, What Are The Important Parameters That Need To Be Considered Presented at 2005 NAFA Annual Convention September 23, 2005 by Ker-Ching (K.C.) Hsieh, Ph,D. Particle Tech, Inc. St Paul. MN

  2. Filtration Mechanisms For Electret • Mechanical Filtration Mechanisms • Diffusion • Interception • Inertial Impaction • Electrostatic Filtration Mechanisms • Dielectricphoretic Effect/Force • Columbic Force • Image Force

  24. Summary • Charged media are “quite different” from non-charged media. • Charged media have a completely different set of parameters that need to be considered when they are used. • Is it premature for ASHRAE 52.2 to try to use a simplified method to try to compare charged filters and non-charged filters?

  25. Summary • Is the “conditioning” step going to solve the disputes between the charged media manufacturers and non-charged media manufacturers? Answer: “No”, on the other hand, it will bring in a whole new set of problems. • “MERV” is strange enough, please don’t make things more confusing by adding this conditioning step.
