Mobile Filter Testing Lab

How do air filters perform under real conditions?
Do filters perform as well as their literature claims?
How do filters differ from each other, in terms of
pressure drop at time of installation vs. weeks later,
structural integrity, dust-loading uniformity and other
factors? The mobile filter testing lab has proved to be an
invaluable tool for testing various filters simultaneously
under identical ambient conditions, (RH%, temp,
air flow, etc). for extended periods of time.

The mobile filter testing lab has four separate ducts,
each of which has a pre-and fine filter section, and a
separately controlled fan. Measured values from all
filter steps, orifices, temperature and relative humidity
are logged continuously. Logged values can be retrieved
on site, or via wireless modem.

The mobile filter testing lab can be sited anywhere
there’s an electrical connection. Four combinations of
filters can be tested at the same time. The mobile filter
testing lab can provide article, stub and gas measure-
ments. It is an excellent tool for generating objective
and scientifically valid data regarding one of the most
important recurring purchases companies make.

Tools for Selecting
the Best Filter:

Case in Point

One of the nation’s largest independently-owned
food retailers, with more than 300 stories, changed
their existing filters based on pressure drop every
two months. Several of the stores were persuaded to
convert to the 30/30 air filter, and as a direct result,
extended filter life to four months.

This caught the attention of management, which
summoned the mobile filter testing lab to its
San Antonio, Texas corporate office for evaluation.
In an unusual double-blind study, the 30/30s were
tested against two competitors.

After two months, the 30/30 demonstrated a
50% advantage on pressure drop compared to one competitor. The second competitor’s filter was
disqualified when it suffered particle breakthrough
and structural collapse.
