MESSAGE HANOI.ING INSTRUCTIONS N· NRL TECHNIQUE IMPROVES AIR FILTRATION. THE NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY {NRL} HAS DEVELOPED A METHOD FOR INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF FIBERGLASS AIR FILTERS LIKE THOSE USED ABOARD SHIP. NRL SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WITH APPLICATION OF AN ELECTRIC CHARGE, INDUSTRIAL-GRADE FILTERS BECOME TEN TIMES MORE EFFICIENT IN TRAPPING UNWANTED FINE PARTICLES IN THE AIR, SUCH AS THOSE FOUND IN CIGARETTE SMOKE· IN THE NRL TECHNIQUE, A POWER SUPPLY, COMPARABLE IN VOLTAGE TO THAT USED IN A SMALL TELEVISION SET, IS CONNECTED TO METAL SCREENS PLACED ON EITHER SIDE OF A FIBERGLASS FILTER· THE ELECTRIC FIELD SET UP BETWEEN THE SCREENS TRAPS THE PARTICLES, WHILE THE GLASS FILTERS DISTORT THE ELECTRIC FIELD· THIS ACCELERATES THE GASEOUS PARTICLES TOWARD. THE FIBERS WHERE THEY ARE RETAINED· NRL IS OPTIMISTIC THAT THE METHOD WILL BE OF PARTICULAR VALUE IN TRAPPING CIGARETTE SMOKE IN CLOSED SHIPBOARD SPACES· THE METHOD COULD ALSO BE EMPLOYED FOR PRE-FILTRATION TO PROTECT THE EXPENSIVE FILTERS USED b IN NUCLEAR REACTOR SPACES, AS CLEAN ROOM FILTERS FOR HOSPITALS OR 5 ij SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS AREAS, AND AS INLET AIR FILTERS FOR PROTECTION 3 2 FROM NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS· :L a DISTR: a ......
