Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrically enhanced air filtration system is disclosed which uses rear fiber charging is disclosed. In particular, a fibrous filter may be placed in an upstream position within the system with one or more ionization arrays positioned downstream or to the rear of the fibrous filter in terms of airflow direction. The fibrous filter may include a grounded side and fiber side with the grounded side being upstream of the fiber side. The ionization array may include a plurality of electrodes each extending unidirectionally toward the fibrous filter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A particle collection mechanism for use in filtering airflow moving from an upstream direction to a downstream direction, comprising: a fibrous filter having a grounded side and a fiber side, the fibrous filter being oriented such that the grounded side is directed toward the upstream direction and the fiber side is directed toward the downstream direction; a first ionization array positioned downstream of the fibrous filter, the ionization array having a…
