Abstract
To make sure that manufacturers deliver reliable filters, they need to be tested by an aerosol sampling train primarily driven by mass flow. The main flow source is an induction fan installed downstream that pulls aerosol particles through the test filter where balance measurements can be made to determine the amount of target particles that were trapped or let through. If the aerosol particles penetrate the filter, a HEPA filter captures the target particles in the sample train and prevents them from being released into the lab environment. Eventually, the HEPA filter will become saturated, and the flow will be reduced. To maintain a constant flow rate for predicting the performance of a test filter, a PID mass flow controller is needed.
