Experimental Investigations of the Resistance Performance of Commercial Cylinder Filters and Effect Factors under Humid Airflows by Shuang Zhang, Wanyi Zhang, Tailong He, Huan Zhao, Zhongping Lin

“…Several factors including the hydrophobic properties, low filtration efficiency, and the unique composite structure of nanofiber filters media can constrain the “Pjump” of cylinder filters, impacting the water-holding capacity (WHC) or avoiding the high resistance. By contrast, the resistance trends of nanofiber media increased significantly from the initial resistance when singly subjected to airflows with water mist at 5.96 g m−3 and 90% relative humidity, differing from the nanofiber filter whose resistance tends to stabilize. …”
