Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a rise of a pressure loss and dispersing again an a downstream side even in the case where marine salt particles caught in a coastal zone or the like deliquesce in a high humidity by a method wherein a filter medium effective for removal of the marine salt particles is constituted by pinching a water-absorbing material comprising a solid between fibrous layers. SOLUTION: A fibrous layer to be used has a sheet form of a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or the like., and as the material, a synthetic fiber and a glass fiber of polyester, polypropylene, nylon, or the like, are independently or mixedly used. Further, at least one layer of the fiber layers, has preferably water repellency in order, to prevent a deliquescent material from passing to a downstream side, and polyolefin series is favorable. By pinching a water- absorbing material comprising a solid between the fibrous layers, a filter medium wherein a sudden rise of a pressure loss is not caused and fungi, or the like., are not generated, is obtained. As the water-absorbing material, inorganic compounds of silicon oxide (silica gel), cobalt chloride or the like are preferable.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, porous materials such as glass fiber sheets, woven fabrics and nonwoven fabrics, and electret processed nonwoven fabrics have been used as filter materials. These filter materials are put in a frame in a state of being pleated in a zigzag shape, and are incorporated in an air conditioner of a factory, an office building or the like to remove solid particles in the outside air. When the filter material is used in a seaside area or the like that contains a lot of sea salt particles in the outside air, the sea salt particles exist in a solid state in a state where the humidity of the outside air is relatively low, so that they can be easily removed and collected. Is possible. However, when the outside air is at high humidity, the collected sea salt particles deliquesce and spread as a film on the surface of the filter material, causing a rapid rise in pressure loss and deliquescent on the downstream side of the filter material. Has passed, causing salt damage to ducts and indoor equipment.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail. The fiber layer in the present invention refers to those having a sheet form such as woven fabric and nonwoven fabric, and the material is polyester,
It can be formed of a synthetic fiber such as polypropylene, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, polyclar, polyethylene, etc., or a glass fiber alone or as a mixture. In addition, at least one of the fiber layers preferably has water repellency in order to prevent the deliquescent from passing downstream, and is preferably a polyolefin-based material. Further, it is preferable that the filter has a dust capturing performance, and an electret melt blown nonwoven fabric having a low pressure loss and a high collecting efficiency is preferable. The thickness of the fiber layer is preferably from 10 to 500 μm. When the thickness is less than 10 μm, the dust capturing performance of the filter is reduced. When the thickness is more than 500 μm, there is a problem that the storage area becomes small when the filter is put in a zigzag shape in a frame.
