Filter media with this increased surface area collect a significantly greater number of particulates, which results in superior filter efficiency.
“The capability for high particle removal in motor vehicle filtration is a critical factor to protect the environment and to increase motor vehicle durability,” Carter explained.
“The use of such advanced technology, in conjunction with Cummins' patented reduced-volume filter designs, enables the production of smaller, more efficient filters with greater design flexibility.”
Mares explained that nanofibers can be applied onto a substrate of cellulose or other material and can be combined in multiple layers of varying fiber diameters.
Motor vehicle nanofiber filtration focuses on continuous fibers with diameters in the range of 100 - 500 nanometers that are applied to a pleatable substrate.
Such advanced multi-layer nanofiber filter media can deliver high filter efficiency at low initial pressure drop, or high permeability, which offers superior benefits to the motor vehicle end-user customer.
