Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the attenuation of electromagnetic energy and, more specifically, to porous materials incorporating electromagnetic-energy-attenuating materials.
- EMI should be considered to refer generally to both electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (RFI) emissions
- electromagnetic should be considered to refer generally to electromagnetic and radio frequency.
- an ideal EMI shield would consist of a completely enclosed housing constructed of an infinitely conductive-material without apertures, seams, gaps, or vents. Practical applications, however, result in an enclosure constructed of a finitely conducting material having some apertures. Apertures may be unintentional, such as those incident to a method of construction (for example, gaps or seams, for example between adjacent access panels and around doors, or between component housings and circuit boards), or intentional, such as vents to accommodate air flow for cooling. Special methods of manufacture may be employed to improve the shielding effectiveness of unintentional apertures, for example, by welding or soldering seams, or by milling a cavity within a contiguous member of shielding material, thereby eliminating unintentional apertures.
- cooling vents are typically required because electronic equipment typically generates thermal energy (that is, heat) that must usually be removed from the equipment to ensure continued, long-term, and proper operation. Shielding of apertures relating to cooling vents are necessarily more challenging, because the apertures themselves cannot be eliminated as cooling air must be allowed to pass through to facilitate heat transfer.
- Prior-art solutions are available that provide some level of EMI shielding across a cooling aperture.
- a cooling aperture may be covered by an electrically conducting plate having field of smaller apertures (that is, a two- dimensional array) spanning the cooling aperture.
- Other solutions include an electrically conductive screen, while still other solutions include a two-dimensional array of waveguide apertures (for example, a "honeycomb").
- Each of these solutions provides preferential attenuation to lower-frequency EMI having a frequency below some "cutoff frequency generally determined by the largest dimension of each individual aperture.
- these solutions are complicated as they rely on a positive electrical bonding of the plate or screen to the equipment housing that must be maintained over the life of the equipment.
- Ruffoni discloses the use of an open-cell reticulated polyurethane foam impregnated with a conductive ink.
- the method disclosed in Ruffoni applies the conductive ink to the surface of the foam, resulting in a variation, or gradient, in conductivity from the coated surface of the foam to its interior.
- the conductive ink offers improved attenuation performance at higher frequencies.
- a heavier application of conductive ink is required at the foam surface in order to provide a desired overall attenuation characteristic.
- Such an application results in a pressure drop from blocked pores due to a heavier application of conductive ink necessary to meet increasing attenuation requirements.
- the foam shown in Ruffoni is not suitable for use as an air filter.
- the present invention relates to an electromagnetic- interference- (EMI-) absorbing air filter, such as a planar, porous substrate (for example, a polyurethane foam sheet) treated with an electromagnetic-interference- (EMI-) absorbing material.
- EMI-absorbing material absorbs a portion of the EMI incident upon the treated air filter, thereby reducing transmission of EMI therethrough over a range of operational frequencies.
- the absorbing material may remove a portion of the EMI from the environment through power dissipation resulting from loss mechanisms. These loss mechanisms include polarization losses in a dielectric material and conductive, or ohmic, losses in a conductive material having a finite conductivity.
- the invention relates to an air filter having EMI-absorbing characteristics.
- the filter includes a porous substrate (for example, an open-cell reticulated polyurethane foam) and an EMI-absorbing material applied to the porous substrate.
- the EMI-absorbing material includes particles of an electrical-energy absorber, such as carbon, and a binding agent, such as an epoxy, or elastomer.
- the EMI-absorbing air filter undergoes multiple applications of EMI-absorbing material during manufacture.
- the EMI-absorbing air filter also includes a fire retardant.
- the EMI-absorbing air filter includes an electrically conductive layer.
- the conductive layer can be configured, for example, as a screen or as a waveguide-below-cutoff array (that is, a honeycomb).
- the invention relates to a process for fabricating an air filter having EMI-absorptive characteristics. The process includes the steps of providing a porous substrate having a first side and a second side and applying an EMI- absorptive material to the porous substrate in a manner allowing the electrically- absorptive material to be distributed substantially constantly or evenly throughout the depth of the porous substrate.
- the step of applying the EMI- absorbing material further includes the sub-steps of providing an EMI-absorbing solution including an electrical absorber and a binding agent, immersing the porous substrate into the EMI-absorbing solution causing the solution to penetrate the porous substrate, extracting the porous substrate from the solution, removing any excess solution, and curing the EMI-absorbing material.
- the above- described procedural steps are repeated one or more times to apply additional EMI- absorbing material to meet a desired attenuation performance requirement.
- the step of applying the EMI-absorbing material includes providing an electrically absorptive solution including an electrical absorber and a binding agent; spraying the electrically absorptive solution onto a first side of the porous substrate; removing excess electrically absorptive solution from the sprayed, porous substrate, thereby leaving the EMI-absorbing material substantially evenly distributed through the porous substrate; and curing the electrically absorptive material.
- the process of applying a layer of EMI- absorbing material further includes the step of forcing air through the porous substrate, thereby ensuring that pores remain substantially unblocked.
- the process further includes the step of applying a fire-retardant layer.

- EMI-absorbing materials can be formed in a solution capable of being applied to a suitable porous substrate.
- the resulting absorptive solution includes an absorbing material and a binding agent that can be applied to new, custom air filters, or to commercially available non-EMI air filters.

- the EMI-absorbing solution is applied to the porous substrate (step 120) followed by the removal of any excess solution (step 130).
- the EMI-absorbing solution deposited in the porous substrate is then cured (step 140). If a greater EMI- absorbing performance is required, steps 120 through 140 can be repeated one or more times (step 150), thereby applying additional EMI-absorbing material.

- the binding agent is an elastomer, such as a resin binder.
- the binding agent is a rubber, such as a natural latex rubber (for example, Stuart 1584), a synthetic rubber, such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), or a proprietary binder. Binders having a resilient consistency adhere the EMI-absorbing material to the porous substrate, while allowing the porous substrate to remain flexible or supple.

- the treated substrate can be drawn through a roller, such as one formed between two opposing cylindrical rollers, or a single cylindrical roller opposing a rigid planar surface or plate.
- removal of the excess EMI-absorbing solution is accomplished by forcing or drawing air through the treated porous substrate.
- the air can be forced through the treated substrate by applying a positive pressure at a first surface of the substrate.
- air can be drawn through the treated substrate by drawing a vacuum on one side of the substrate.
- the removal of excess EMI-absorbing solution can be accomplished by a combination of the aforementioned methods.
- the curing step (step 140) allows the applied finish of the EMI- absorbing material and binding agent to set.
- the finished substrate can be air-cured at ambient room temperature. In other embodiments, the finished substrate can be cured at elevated temperatures, for example in an oven.
- a fire retardant such as a phosphate or antimony trioxide, is optionally applied to the substrate (step 160) to meet stringent flammability standards.
- a fire retardant is applied in the same manner as described above for the EMI-absorbing solution (steps 100 through 140).

- FIG. 2A a perspective view is illustrated depicting a free-standing, planar, EMI-absorbing air filter 200.
- the planar filter 200 defines an arbitrarily shaped cross section 210 (shown as a rectangle) having a predetermined thickness 205. There are no particular constraints on the thickness 205, however common values range from about 0.1 inch to 0.5 inch or more.

- the frame 210 can include mounting holes 212 through which fasteners are inserted to secure the framed filter 208 to the equipment housing.
- the EMI-absorbing material is generally most effective at higher frequencies (for example, above 1 GHz). In some applications, however, particularly where the cross section of the air filter is relatively large (for example, greater than about 10 cm), the EMI-absorbing filter 200 can be combined advantageously with a low frequency EMI-mitigating means. Illustrated in FIG. 3 is a perspective view depicting a combination EMI/air filter.
- the combination filter 300 includes an EMI-absorbing air filter 200, as described above, and an electrically conducting layer 310.

- Each aperture 410 can be constructed with arbitrary shapes, such as rectangular (shown), circular, and hexagonal.
- Each aperture 410 preferentially attenuates electromagnetic radiation below a predetermined "cutoff frequency controllable by the dimensions of the aperture 410.
- the apertures 410 of the waveguide-below-cutoff layer 405 allow air to flow to the EMI-absorbing air filter layer 200.

- One or more sprayers 700', 700" (generally 700), spray the EMI-absorbing solution 710 onto the porous substrate 200.
- the EMI-absorbing air filter test sample was formed by applying a carbon-based absorber in an elastomer binder to an open-cell reticulated polyurethane foam planar substrate.
- the sample substrate was formed as a 0.25-inch thick sheet having approximately 20 ppi.
- the sample was treated with a double carbon coating and flame retardant as described above.
- the electromagnetic transmission loss was measured across the filter over the frequency range from about 2.0 GHz to about 18.0 GHz.
- the resulting sample demonstrated a measured attenuation of more than 20 decibels (dB) above a frequency of about 4 GHz.
- the EMI-absorbing air filter must also function as an air filter, it is important that the filter allow sufficient air flow after being treated with the EMI- absorbing material and, optionally, with other coatings, such as a flame-retardant coating.
- One measure of the air filter's air flow performance is pressure drop versus air flow.
- a discussion of an exemplary test setup for measuring the air flow performance, as well as measured air flow test results, are provided herein as an appendix and incorporated herein.
- any reduction in air flow resulting from the application of the one or more coatings is controlled to reduce air flow by no more than a predetermined amount (for example, a difference in pressure drop for the same air flow of not more than 10%).
- a "baseline" air-filter material has been selected to represent an exemplary electronic-equipment dirt and dust filter.
- the baseline filter consists of an open-cell polyurethane foam having approximately 20 ppi and a sample thickness of 0.25 inch.
- a first sample reference "T-15” represents an EMI-absorbing air filter having a double coating of carbon and a flame-retardant treatment.
- the T-15 sample has been formed using an open-cell polyurethane foam, approximately 15 ppi and a sample thickness of 025 inch.
- a second sample reference "R-20” represents an EMI-absorbing air filter having a double coating of carbon and a flame-retardant treatment.
- the R-20 sample has also been formed using an open-cell polyurethane foam, having approximately 20 ppi, and again having a sample thickness of 0.25 inch.
- Airflow testing was conducted in accordance with air-permeability standard, ASTM D737, described in the American Society for Testing and Materials Annual Book of ASTM Standards.
- the test set-up a representation of which is shown in FIG. 9, consisted of a 6 inch x 6 inch sheet metal duct 900 with metal flanges at each end (not shown).
- a first end of the duct 902 was sealed against an opening in a plenum chamber 910 using suitable fixtures and sealant.
- the EMI-absorbing air filter sample under test was attached to a second end of the duct 912 and sealed in a manner preventing leakage from the sides.
- a pressure tap 920 was made on the duct at a distance of 18 inches from its second open end 912.
- a plenum chamber outlet 930 was connected to the suction side of a centrifugal blower (vacuum pump) 940 via a series of valves 950 and an airflow-metering device. Calibrated instrumentation was used in measuring the test parameters. Test Results:
- FIG. 10 illustrates the resulting test data in graphical form comparing the performance of the absorber-treated foams (T-15, R-20) to the untreated baseline foam filter.
- the graph m cludes a vertical axis representing "static pressure" (measured in inches of water) and a horizontal axis representing "airflow” (measured in cubic-feet- per-minute per square inch of vent panel, CFM/ m ).
- Test results for the untreated baseline foam and two samples of treated foam are illustrated on the graph. The test results demonstrate that the static pressure increases with increasing airflow for all three samples. This gradual increase in static pressure is due to the inherent resistance to airflow that the test panel offers to the air stream.
- the results indicate that there is virtually no difference between the untreated baseline filter foam and the R-20 absorber filter foam.
- the T-15 absorber filter foam exhibits greater air flow than the baseline and R-20 samples. This is due to its cell structure being more open with 15 ppi as compared to 20 ppi for the other two test samples.
- the data indicates that the airflow characteristics of the R-20 sample should be similar to the baseline samples, while also providing EMI abso ⁇ tion.
