The aim of this study was to determine and model efficiency during the filtration of a liquid aerosol through a fibrous filter. A series of experiments demonstrated that liquid particle filtration is different from solid particle filtration in that a drainage state appears, characterized by a constant pressure drop at the end of filter clogging. Moreover, during filter clogging, the number efficiency presents a minimum level for particles close to 100nm in diameter (the most penetrating particle size). The results also reveal that during filter clogging there is a decrease in the medium's performance for particles smaller than 100nm and an increase in efficiency for particles with a diameter >200nm. Both effects are induced by the amount of liquid collected in the medium. Finally, a model is proposed to describe filter efficiency during clogging with a liquid aerosol.
