Air Filter Laboratory Testing
Riverdale Test Facility
Camfil Farr operates air filter testing laboratories in many of our R&D
facilities around the world, all having a goal of developing technology for
improved air quality for people, processes, and the environment. In
North America, our Riverdale, NJ facility operates around the clock,
testing filters per ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007 and European Standard
EN779. This facility also performs burst tests and customer-specific or
requested evaluations of our filters and our competitors. Reviewing
hundreds of filters per year, this laboratory ensures that our products
exceed published specifications and provide the improved air quality our
customers desire.
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
In our quest to manufacture ultimate levels of air filtration, one of the
tools we use is a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This is a type of
electron microscope that images the sample surface by scanning it with
a high-energy beam of electrons in a raster scan pattern. The electrons
interact with the atoms that make up the sample, producing signals that
contain information about the sample’s surface topography,
composition, and other properties, such as electrical conductivity.
In its primary detection mode, secondary electron imaging, the SEM can
produce very high-resolution images of a sample surface, revealing
details about 1 to 5 nanometer in size. Camfil Farr can than study these
particles in a three-dimensional form useful for understanding the
surface structure of a sample. The information obtained can then be
used to ensure proper filter selection or provide information for the
development of new filter media or air filters.
The Camfil Farr Riverdale facility provides testing data for our customers and is used for
research to support progression in the development of filter testing standards.
