Definitions

  • the present invention concerns generally a filter medium.
  • it concerns a filter medium with antimicrobial action.
  • it concerns a filter medium and a filter element comprising such a filter medium for filtering air for the cabin of a motor vehicle, i.e., a motor vehicle cabin filter.
  • the invention concerns a filter module.
  • Filter elements produced from filter media serve for filtering fluid flows or gaseous media, for example, for filtering an air flow which is supplied to the vehicle cabin of a motor vehicle. Even though it is applicable to any type of filter elements, the present invention and problem to be solved by it will be described in the following in connection with a filter medium or filter element for filtering air for the cabin of a motor vehicle. In the following, such filters are referred to as motor vehicle cabin filters for short.
  • filters Since the efficiency of filters depends in particular on the size of the surface area of the filter that is flowed through by the air, for motor vehicle cabin filters primarily zigzag-shaped folded filter media are used that are also often referred to as pleated filter media. In this way, due to the folding of the employed filter medium, depending on the height of the folds and the fold spacing of the various fold sections of the filter medium, an effective enlargement of the filter surface area flowed through by the air flow can be provided.
  • pollutants can be, for example, dust and soot particles as well as pollen, bacterial spores and fungal spores, bacteria and fungi.
  • pollutants can be, for example, dust and soot particles as well as pollen, bacterial spores and fungal spores, bacteria and fungi.
  • Some metabolic products of the microorganisms are known to constitute allergic substances for the human respiratory system. In some individuals, they can cause asthma attacks and it is proven that they can cause an immunological defense reaction.
  • US 2003/0 116 2022 A1 describes an air filter for air-conditioning systems as they are used in offices, apartment buildings and buildings for medical services such as hospitals and medical care homes.
  • the filter comprises a composition that contains a biocide that is not bonded to the filter surface but is adapted such that it can migrate through the fine dust that is collecting on the filter so that the pollutant particles are coated with the biocide.
  • Suitable biocides are, for example, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, isothiazoline compounds, benzoic acid, benzalkonium halides and the like.
  • US 2006/0021302 A1 discloses an antimicrobial air filter whose filtration medium contains a “prophylactic” compound that can be used to reduce the number of microbial organisms.
  • the “prophylactic” compound is introduced as a separate layer adjacent to the pleated filter medium.
  • the “prophylactic” compound may be water-soluble coenzymes, oil-soluble coenzymes, plant extracts, antibiotics, biocidal metals, aliphatic and aromatic fatty acids, and the like.
  • WO 2006/003515 A1 discloses an air treatment device for a particle filter of an air conditioning device of a motor vehicle.
  • the device is comprised of a permeable container that contains a volatile treatment agent.
  • the container is attached to the particle filter.
  • US 2005/0079379 A1 discloses a cover fabric with at least one fabric web that comprises an electrostatically charged meltblown fiber nonwoven nap that is treated with a fluorine chemical with a weak cationic emulsifying agent in order to reduce the surface energy of the fibers to thereby minimize penetration and wetting by oily mists and maintain thereby the effect of the electrostatic charges imparted to the fibers.
  • the fibers can contain polyvinyl-N-pyridinium bromide.
  • the fabric is used for face masks and protective clothing. Use in vehicle cabin filters is not proposed.
  • EP 1 882 511 A1 discloses a filter medium with bactericidal effect in particular for filtering air for the cabin of motor vehicles, comprised of at least one filter layer in which contaminants are retainable and a bactericidal filter layer which is downstream of this filter layer and is arranged on the clean air side of the at least one filter layer and is spaced by a spacer layer from the at least one filter layer.
  • a disadvantage of the solutions disclosed in the prior art is, on the one hand, that they cannot be applied easily to motor vehicle cabin filters and, on the other hand, that they cannot effectively prevent growth of microorganisms on the filter medium and in particular cannot prevent penetration of growth. Moreover, growth, in particular of fungi or fungal spores, is not prevented or only prevented to a minimal extent by the disclosed solutions. Some of the disclosed biocidal agents show an effectiveness only against certain microorganisms, for example, bacteria, but not against molds; for others, an effective inhibition of microbial growth is not ensured by the application of the biocides and the construction of the filter medium.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a filter medium with antimicrobial action that avoids the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art. Moreover, the present invention provides the possibility that an already existing filter medium can be furnished with an additional antimicrobial layer without the filtration efficiency being changed.
  • a filter medium with antimicrobial action comprising a first filter layer in which contaminants can be retained and a second filter layer that contains antimicrobial substances and is adjacent to the first filter layer at the inflow side of the first filter layer.
  • the first filter layer can be a nonwoven, in particular a meltblown nonwoven.
  • Such a filter medium can be used in particular for filtering air for the cabin of motor vehicles.
  • Other fields of use are however also conceivable, for example, in air conditioning devices for building services or also generally in filter systems, for example, in which a particle filter layer or a second filter layer is to be protected, in particular against microorganisms such as fungi or fungal spores, in particular molds or mold spores, bacteria or algae and in particular those in living, reproductive or propagating form.
  • zinc pyrithione can be used in particular.
  • octa-isothiazolone can be used as an antimicrobial agent.
  • the second filter layer can contain additionally antimicrobial substances on the basis of nano silver.
  • the second filter layer can additionally contain antimicrobial metals and metal compounds, in particular silver, copper and aluminum compounds and/or 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, further isothiazoline compounds, benzoic acid and its derivatives, benzalkonium halides, water-soluble coenzymes, oil-soluble coenzymes, plant extracts, antibiotics, biocidal metals, aliphatic and/or aromatic fatty acids, and/or quaternary surfactants as antimicrobial substances.
  • antimicrobial metals and metal compounds in particular silver, copper and aluminum compounds and/or 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, further isothiazoline compounds, benzoic acid and its derivatives, benzalkonium halides, water-soluble coenzymes, oil-soluble coenzymes, plant extracts, antibiotics, biocidal metals, aliphatic and/or aromatic fatty acids, and/or quaternary surfactants as antimicrobial substances.
  • the antimicrobial substances and/or additional biocidal substances can preferably be applied by spray application, slop padding or by means of a foulard machine.
  • the filter medium itself can be of a two-layer or three-layer configuration.
  • a particle filter layer and an odor filter layer, comprising active carbon may follow behind the antimicrobial layer.
  • an odor filter layer and then a particle filter layer can follow behind the antimicrobial layer.
  • the antimicrobial substances or the additional bactericidal substances can be added directly when producing the second filter layer. Alternatively or in combination, the antimicrobial substances or the additional bactericidal substances can be introduced subsequently into the second filter layer.
  • Such a filter medium is in particular suitable for a motor vehicle cabin filter.
  • the filter medium is preferably folded or undulated for increasing the surface area.
  • the folded or undulated filter medium can be provided on at least one side with a lateral band of nonwoven or can be embedded by injection molding into a plastic frame.
  • the folded or undulated filter medium can have at least at one of its terminal edges, these are the sides of the folded or undulated filter medium that have a zigzag or undulated shape, a lateral band, in particular a lateral band of nonwoven.
  • a motor vehicle cabin filter with the described medium can be used as an exchangeable filter element in a filter module, in particular the filter module of a motor vehicle air conditioning device, comprising a filter receptacle or a filter housing.
  • FIG. 1 schematically depicts a two-layer configuration of the filter medium according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 schematically depicts a three-layer configuration of the filter medium according to the invention.
  • the medium according to the invention can be used, for example, in cabin filters for motor vehicles. Further fields of application are vacuum cleaner filters, filter elements for building and stationary air conditioning devices, filter elements for air purifiers, respiratory filters and the like.
  • the filter medium according to the invention is capable of killing microorganisms, in particular fungi or fungal spores, and at the same time of preventing effectively growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms on the filter medium and in particular of preventing effectively penetration of growth.
  • penetration of growth means the propagation of mycel-forming microorganisms through a barrier layer, for example, a biocidal layer. This can also happen in connection with bacteria that propagate through this layer.
  • a filter medium with antimicrobial action in such a way that a second filter layer containing antimicrobial substances is mounted on the inflow side of a first filter layer that is adjacent to the second filter layer and that can retain contaminants. Accordingly, penetration of growth even of mycel-forming microorganisms is effectively prevented.
  • the mold spores are retained because of their size (2-100 ⁇ m, typically 2-10 ⁇ m) partially by the antimicrobial layer or impinge on the filter layer furnished with the antimicrobial substance and can therefore be inactivated or inhibited in their growth.
  • This is the great advantage relative to a downstream antimicrobial filter layer because in this case the spores from the ambient air are retained mainly in the upstream particle layer and can germinate therein.
  • the filter medium according to the invention is typically constructed such that the antimicrobial layer, i.e., the second filter layer comprising antimicrobial substances, is mounted as an additional layer (medium layer) on a medium.
  • the antimicrobial layer has also a filter action and can optionally be used also as a single layer variant.
  • the medium can either be designed of a two-layer or three-layer configuration.
  • FIG. 1 shows a two-layer configuration of a particle filter medium 2 (first filter layer) and a second filter layer 4 applied thereon which contains antimicrobial substances.
  • the first filter layer 2 can optionally have a graduated configuration, i.e., in cross-section in the flow direction can have a decreasing or increasing fiber diameter and/or can contain nanofibers that improve primarily the separating performance in regard to fine particles.
  • FIG. 2 shows a three-layer configuration of a fine fiber layer 6 which has been produced, for example, according to the meltblown process, and a further fiber layer 8 that due to its mechanical strength is also referred to as a support and on which the second antimicrobial fiber layer 4 is applied.
  • the antimicrobial support can be provided with different microbial substances, for example, silver, copper, aluminum compounds.
  • a particularly advantageous microbial substance is Zn pyrithione because it has a significant fungi-inhibiting effect and a very minimal solubility in water.
  • a further preferred substance is octa-isothiazolone.
  • a finish on the basis of nano silver and enzymatically, chemically acting substances is possible, for example, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, isothiazoline compounds, benzoic acid and benzoic acid derivatives, benzalkonium halides, water-soluble and oil-soluble coenzymes, plant extracts, further biocidal metals, aliphatic and aromatic fatty acids, as well as quaternary surfactants, wherein the substances can be used as a further option as well as in combination with Zn pyrithione. Different grammages can be used for the second filter layer.
  • Furnishing the second filter layer with the antimicrobial or biocidal substances can be performed by means of different processes, for example, by spray application, slop padding or by means of a foulard machine.
  • the antimicrobial layer is advantageously applied to the inflow side. Due to the afore described three-layer configuration, negative interactions between active substance and the functional particle fiber layer can be avoided in this way. Because of the special three-layer sandwich configuration, it is possible to protect the actual particle filter layer and to ensure in this way a high filtration efficiency.
  • the sandwich configuration has the advantage that in this way different filter media that can be used in cabin filters of motor vehicles can be furnished with an additional antimicrobial layer that can be offered as an additional option for the existing filters (in case of a motor vehicle cabin filters a plurality of different filter media are employed that are tailored to regional as well as manufacturer-specific requirements). Moreover, with the additional antimicrobial layer, tailored solutions for different fields of applications can be achieved. Also, for example, in different climatic conditions, different microorganisms play a role in connection with the growth on the filter medium so that the antimicrobial substances applied to the second filter layer can be selected appropriately and, in addition, the grammage can be varied.
  • the layer (meltblown) that determines the filtration efficiency can be finished in a master batch with antimicrobial substances or the medium can exhibit an increased antimicrobial action by means of additional introduction of antimicrobial fibers produced by a master batch.
  • master batch The subsequent application of the substance in comparison to the addition directly during fiber manufacture (master batch) has the advantage that reduced substance concentrations are sufficient because the substance is externally present on the fiber and therefore is in direct contact with the microorganisms.
  • An advantage of master batch production or addition of fibers produced by a master batch process resides in that the antimicrobial substances are anchored particularly strongly on the fiber.
  • the filter medium according to the invention can be used to produce a filter module, in particular a particle and/or odor filter, with a filter housing, wherein the filter medium is inserted into the filter housing.
