Abstract

Disclosed is a process for manufacturing a filtration device. The process includes a fiber carding procedure which forms a web. The filtration device in accordance with the invention takes the form of a web consisting of a single layer lap.

Description

  • The present invention concerns a process for manufacturing a filtration device more particularly intended for filtering gases such as air for ventilating and/or heating and/or air conditioning rooms or motor vehicles. [0001]
  • The invention also concerns a filtration device manufactured by the above process. [0002]
  • Prior art filtration devices are made by spinning a thermoplastics polymer through nozzles to produce an intermingling of the filaments issuing from the nozzles forming, after cooling, a lap that can constitute a particle filter. [0003]
  • The prior art processes have the drawback of necessitating the superposition and binding together of a plurality of layers in order to obtain filters that are sufficiently efficient. [0004]
  • The filters obtained in this way have a high specific gravity and a high unit cost. [0005]
  • An aim of the invention is to manufacture a filtration device that is efficient and less dense and more economic than the prior art devices. [0006]
  • The process for manufacturing a filtration device of the aforementioned type in accordance with the invention is characterised in that it comprises an operation of carding fibres having a length in the range 38 mm to 120 mm and a diameter greater than 10 μm to form an isotropic web and in that said web is subjected to a mechanical consolidation operation by means of hydraulic binding consisting in passing very fine water jets at a high pressure through the web disposed on a rotating drum followed by a drying operation. [0007]
  • In accordance with other features of the process in accordance with the invention, separately or in all technically possible combinations: [0008]
  • the carding operation is carried out using a wool type card; [0009]
  • said card incorporates “Dispelmel” type randomising units; [0010]
  • the pressure of the water jets used for the hydraulic binding is in the range 40 bars to 200 bars; [0011]
  • the parameters of the card are chosen to obtain a web having a mass per unit surface area in the range approximately 20 g/m[0012] 2 to approximately 150 g/m2.
  • In accordance with the invention the filtration device of the above type is characterised in that it comprises an isotropic web. [0013]
  • In accordance with other features of the filtration device in accordance with the invention, separately or in all technically possible combinations: [0014]
  • said web is in a single layer; [0015]
  • the length of said fibres is at least equal to 38 mm; [0016]
  • the length of said fibres is at most equal to 120 mm; [0017]
  • the average diameter of said fibres is at least equal to 10 μm; [0018]
  • said fibres are fibres of the same kind or a mixture of different fibres. [0019]
  • said fibres are selected from the group of thermoplastics fibres such as fibres of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polycarbonate, polyamide, the group of acrylic fibres, pre-oxidised acrylic fibres, the group of aramide fibres, the group of phenolic fibres, the group of fluorocarbon fibres, the group of mineral fibres such as glass fibres and the group of metal fibres. [0020]
  • It has been found that the invention provides a filtration device that is efficient and of lower unit cost and of lower specific gravity than the prior art filtration devices. [0021]
  • Another important advantage compared to the prior art is that the head loss when a gas passes through the filtration device is much lower.[0022]
  • Other aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the following description of one embodiment of a filtration device designed to be installed in equipment for heating/air conditioning a motor vehicle. [0023]
  • 1.7 Tex (14 μm diameter) polypropylene fibres are cut to a length of 40 mm and then introduced into a mixer. [0024]
  • The fibre mixture obtained is then carded by means of a two-doffer wool type card equipped with a “Dispelmel” type randomising unit to obtain an isotropic web. [0025]
  • In one variant of the process the web leaving the card is introduced into a condenser to form a single layer lap. [0026]
  • The parameters of the card and/or of the condenser are selected to produce a web or a lap having a mass per unit surface area in the range approximately 20 g/m[0027] 2 to approximately 150 g/m2.
  • The web or lap is deposited onto a belt and then consolidated by a hydraulic binding operation. [0028]
  • The hydraulic binding operation consists in passing very fine water jets at a high pressure (in the range 40 bars to 200 bars) through the web or lap disposed on a rotating drum. [0029]
  • When they bounce off the drum the water jets cause knotting of the fibres imparting a high mechanical strength to the web or lap without significantly increasing its specific gravity. [0030]
  • After drying, the web or lap is mounted on a support to form the filtration device. [0031]
  • Using a 0.84 mm thick web or lap the process has produced a filter having a mass per unit surface area of 66 g/m[0032] 2 and a specific gravity of 0.07.
  • To test the efficiency of a filter obtained in the above manner, it was disposed across a 100 cm[0033] 2 20 cm/s flow of air laden with particles.
  • The particles corresponded to a “fine SAE powder” defined in US Standard SAE J 726/ISO 5011. [0034]
  • The particle concentration was 100 mg/m[0035] 3.
  • The head loss across the filter under the above conditions was only 14 Pa and the efficiency was 80%. [0036]
  • Compared to filtration devices currently on the market, an efficiency comparable to the best of them was obtained with a product having a much lower specific gravity (0.07 compared to 0.12 to 0.30) generating a much lower head loss. [0037]
  • Endurance tests have shown that the efficiency of the filtration device in accordance with the invention is more stable with time. [0038]
  • What is more, the process described hereinabove is carried out continuously and produces the filtration device in a single operation. [0039]
