A New Generation of High-efficiency HVAC Filters that Can Be Used with Existing Infrastructure to stop the spread of coronavirus through recirculation of air
This project will develop high-efficiency HVAC filters that are capable of removing airborne viral particles via electrostatic-charged fibers.

Equipment and Supplies
Industry Need
There is a shortage of high efficiency HVAC filters that are capable of capturing sub-micron particles.
Solution
NWI has developed a multi-pronged approach to help increase the available capacity of filters that can be used as MERV 13 or higher but with a lower pressure drop.
Outputs/Deliverables
Developed three unique structures for filtration based on spunbound technology
Impacts
Successful completion of this research will lead to new classes of high efficiency filter media capable of capturing viruses that can be deployed in existing infrastructure to mitigate the spread of the virus through the air.
