Determining Lossnay Core Resistance to Bacterial Cross-
Contamination and Molds
Test Report
(1) Object
To verify that there is no bacterial cross-contamination from the outlet air to the inlet air of the Lossnay Core.
(2) Client
MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CO. NAKATSUGAWA WORKS.
(3) Test Period
April 26, 1999 - May 28, 1999
(4) Test Method
The test bacteria suspension is sprayed in the outlet duct at a pressure of 1.5 kg/cm
dominant particle size is 0.3 - 0.5 µm. The air sampling tubes are installed at the center of Locations A, B, C, D
(see diagram below), in the Lossnay inlet/outlet ducts so that the openings are directly against the air flow, and
then connected to the impingers outside the ducts. The impingers are filled with 100 mL physiological salt solution.
The airborne bacteria in the duct air are sampled at the rate of 10L air/minute for three minutes.
