Air purification filtration bench

BAQ develops ionizer systems for air purification from radon particles. When placed in an airflow, the ionizer causes radon particles to precipitate into a heavier particle. To maintain the optimal performance of the ionizers, it is important to filter dust and harmful particles that could affect the system. For this purpose, various types (metallic, HEPA, electrostatic), shapes (flat, round), and sizes of filters must be installed upstream of the system. The airflow itself is generated by a suction element, whose characteristics, along with the pressure losses caused by the filters, determine the airspeed through the purifier.

The goal of this projet, supported by an Alliance cheque, is to design a test bench that can accommodate multiple filtration stages. The structure of this bench must be adaptable to various unknown filter characteristics. Therefore, it must allow for easy access and replacement of filters. The filtration bench must incorporate a suction element to create airflow through the purification system. Additionally, it must be airtight to ensure that no air is drawn in without passing through all the filters.
