The effects of temperature on HEPA filter media
Description
This paper presents the results from a series of experiments to study the changes in the physical properties of HEPA filter media after exposure to elevated temperatures. Data are presented for papers heated in the range 120-500 degrees C. The observed changes in strength and paper stiffness are explained in terms of alterations to the binder due to thermal degradation. The information generated has clarified a particular failure mode associated with a small number of filter inserts at elevated temperatures
