- The present invention relates to filter media having an improved conductivity and to methods for making the same.
- It is well known that charged particles are more readily captured by a filter media than are neutral particles. One of the most common ionizing air filters is a precipitator type air filter, which is an electronic air filter having ionizing wires of about 0.005 inches diameter, charged at about 7 Kilovolts, placed between grounded plates to generate a corona and charge the dust particles passing therethrough. Further down the airflow path, alternating charged and grounded plates collect the charged particles of dust. The disadvantage of precipitator type filters is that they are difficult to maintain, requiring regular cleaning of the collector plates, which get loaded with fine dust. Cleaning often requires using very strong detergents. Another disadvantage of the precipitator type filter is that they produce a significant amount of ozone. This occurs because the charging wires are placed near grounded surfaces. This arrangement generates corona all along the length of the wires, which can be seen glowing in the dark. Moreover, in some liquid filtration applications, such as filtrating of hydraulic fluid, a static charge can build up on the surface of the filter, potentially causing an explosion or fire hazard.
- Accordingly, there remains a need for filter media having improved conductivity to enhance filtration efficiency and/or static electricity dissipation, and to methods for making the same.
- The present invention generally provides filter media having an improved conductivity to enhance filtration efficiency and/or static electricity dissipation, and to methods for making the same. In one exemplary embodiment, a filter media is provided having a filtration substrate, and at least one conductive coating disposed on at least a portion of the at least one filtration substrate. The filtration substrate can be formed from a variety of materials, and it can include any number of filtration layers that together form a substrate. By way of non-limiting example, the filtration substrate can be formed from natural fibers, organic fibers, inorganic fibers, or combinations thereof. Suitable fibers include, for example, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, polymer fibers, cotton fibers, hemp fibers, carbon fibers, and combinations thereof. The conductive coating can also be formed from a variety of materials, and it can be disposed on all or only a portion of the filtration substrate. By way of non-limiting example, the conductive coating can be formed from carbon fibers, carbon particles, metal fibers, conductive polymers such as poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene)poly(styrenesulfonate), polyaniline, nickel coated carbon fibers, or other conductive materials. In one exemplary embodiment, the conductive coating is formed from a metal fiber that includes a metal such as, for example, aluminum, silver, copper, nickel, gold, lead, tin, zinc, steel, and combinations thereof. In another exemplary embodiment, the conductive coating can be formed from a metal, such as aluminum, silver, copper, nickel, gold, lead, tin, zinc, and combinations thereof.
- The conductive coating can also be disposed on the filtration substrate using a variety of techniques. For example, in one embodiment the filtration substrate can be saturated with the conductive coating. In another embodiment, the conductive coating can be painted or extruded onto the filtration substrate. In another embodiment, the filter media can include a bonding agent that bonds the conductive coating to the filtration substrate. The bonding agent can be formed from, for example, a polymer such as polyvinylidene chloride, acrylic latex, polyurethane dispersion, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, and combinations thereof. The bonding agent can also optionally be conductive.
- In use, the filter media can be configured for a variety of purposes, including EMI shielding, optical shielding, or other uses that require electrically enhanced filtration and/or static dissipation. The filter media can also be pleated or have any other configuration that can vary depending on the intended use. In order to electrically charge the conductive coating, the filter media can also include a coupling mechanism for connecting a high voltage power source to the conductive coating.
