EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PARTICLE COLLECTION ON SINGLE FIBERS OFDIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS

This presentation is part of a fundamental investigation into the infl uence of structural characteristics on particle collection in fibrous filters. The collection on single fibres has been experimentally deter mined, whereby different fibre configurations were set. For this purpo se, particle fluxes upstream and downstream of the fibres were measure d simultaneously using an optical particle counter which operates with two purely optically delineated measuring volumes and two detectors. The experimental results are compared with published values.
