Development of Nanofiber Reinforced Double Layered Cabin Air Filter Using Novel Upward Mass Production Electrospinning Set Up
Recently, numerous researchers are interested in the development of new air filter because of air pollution caused by rapid industrialization and urbanization. The major concerns in developing air filters are: pressure drop and filtration efficiency which are considered significant.
As the pressure drop increases, the energy consumption becomes high. In this study, we developed a novel air filter (polyurethane fiber mat) for nano size filtration using a mass production electrospinning, which is expected to enhance filtration efficiency and pressure drop effects. To determine
the optimal electrospinning conditions for filter efficiency, various concentrations (8, 10, 12 wt/wt%) of thermoplastic polyurethane were prepared and employed. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used for fiber characterization, and
finally, efficiency test was conducted to evaluate the filter performance of developed nanofiber-based air filter. From this study, it could be concluded that optimization by adjusting the polymer concentration and electrospinning operating condition was the best efficient alternative method
to fabricate nano-fibrous air filter system with improved filtration performance.
