TOPAS i® Sries AFC Particle Filter Media Test Rig Filter Tests with the Automated Test Rig AFC 131 Testing Filter Media This is important for the development and optimization of filter materials as well as for quality assurance during the production process. Differential pressure drop, particle size dependent filtration efficiency and dust loading capacity are of most interest for filter material characterization. For these tasks Topas developed the series AFC test rig which facilitates filter tests in accordance to with international standards. Dust loading tests and dust capacity tests in accordance with the general requirements of EN 779 and ISO 11 155-| can also be performed in small scale. Due to its compact and lightweight design this test rig can be used in the laboratory. Only single-phase mains power and compressed air are needed to run filter tests. The Topas control software runs under Windows on a standard PC. Special Advantages Flexible design facilitates modification and future extension 镕 Test rig is fully computer controlled by user-friendly PAFWin 3.0 software Wide variety of test aerosols possible (atmospheric, dust or droplets) Օ Combination of Topas instruments ensures best performance at optimum price Applications Dust loading tests Օ Small scale filter tests along the general lines of other standards - Air cleaning filters EN 779, - Cabin air filters ISO 11155-1 Development and optimization of filter media Օ Quality assurance

Filtration Efficiency Filtration Efficiency Fractional efficiency from 0.3 up to 20 pm is measured with an optical particle sizer. A switching valve controls aerosol sampling upstream and downstream of the filter. The particle counter is purged with particle free air between upstream and downstream samples. The sampling time is selectable from the software.
