N Specification und Classification

1he air we breath holds diverse substances coming from
particulate matter, gases, fog or fibers. 1hey are called
aerosols. Studies about the level of harmful substances
and their impact on health have resulted in installing air
purification systems - in particular for ventilation.
We differentiate between filters for coarse and fine dust,
as well as for airborne particles. 1hey have different levels
of efficiency and areas of use. 1herefore distinct test have
been developed:
fiIter for coarse dust belonging to classes LN 779
G1 through G4 are treated with synthetic dust in
order to determine the level of gravimetric arres-
tance.
fine dust fiIters belonging to classes LN 779 lS
through l9 are treated with types of aerosols to
determine their efficiency. 1he average efficiency
is determined by a particle count for substances
0.4 m in size.
HhPA (High hfficiency ParticuIate Air)/ULPA (UItra
Low Penetration Air) fiIters belonging to classes
LN 1822 H10 through U17 are classified by a level
of arrestance called Most Penetrating Particle
Size" (MPPS) 1he MMPS range - depending on the
media options - between 0.3 und 0.1 m.
1he filters' efficiency depends on criteria such as velocity
or local conditions such as humidity. Considering that mi-
cro-organisms might gather inside the filter, the maximal
final pressure drop should not be the only criteria for re-
placing a filter. 1he dust holding capacity is given in gram,
it describes how much dust was extracted by the filter
media while being tested.
1he different testing methods and requirements can not
be compared. 8ut similar prerequisites form a good basis
for comparing the media's durability.
lor gaseous impurities, HS-Luftfilterbau offers differ-
ent kinds of activated carbon for standard and custom-
ized usage. lmpregnated activated carbon is especially
equipped for filtering acid smoke, ammonia, hydrogen
sulphide, methyl iodine or similar substances.
lilter for air purification systems are ranked by certain
standards. ln Lurope, filters absorbing coarse and fine
dust, are classified LN 779. Airborne particle filters are
certified according to LN 1822. 1he following table shows
norms and classification:
