In-situ Testing
Users can evaluate the use of increased media area compared to
standard media area offerings. They can evaluate filters of similar
construction that use different types of media. And most importantly,
they can evaluate Camfil Farr products against other manufacturers
offerings.
The process includes a facility survey to establish the integrity of the
filter holding mechanisms, the overall HVAC worthiness of the system,
and an analysis of past usage data to develop a baseline of comparison.
Actual in-place testing begins with an initial filter efficiency test and
continues on a periodic schedule (time-dependent upon the type of
filters being evaluated).
The final data is often used to demonstrate performance to the facility’s
required standard of care for air quality and to prove that their filter
expenditure has the lowest life-cycle cost.
Camfil Farr also maintains a database of historical analyses from other
facilities that may assist others in their selection of filters for their
similar applications.

details on Camfil Farr’s In-Situ Filter Evaluation Program.
Today’s air filtration marketplace includes products, offered in many
configurations, that present various advantages and disadvantages
when compared to other air filter offerings. There are also different
types of media incorporating varying principles of particle capture, each
with its own advantage when applied in a heating and air conditioning
application.
How can filter users differentiate manufacturers’ claims and make
intelligent decisions as to what products are applicable to meet their
needs Historically, many depended upon test reports. Unfortunately,
today’s testing laboratory methodologies may not give a true barometer
of a filter’s performance over time, as these filters are not tested under
real life conditions.
Camfil Farr addresses these concerns by performing actual on-site (insitu)
filter performance evaluations using industry defined procedures.
With the user designated participants, information is obtained using an
optical particle counter which measures the number of particles in
multiple bands, including sub-micron; defined as repairable and critical
to human health.
Camfil Farr then provides a final report which includes a particle size
versus efficiency analysis detailing all of the tested filters abilities to
capture large particles and sub-micron size particles, that may affect
health or processes. Pressure drop data, relative to a filter’s actual life
within a system, and its overall effect on system airflow and use of
energy is also detailed.
