Description:
The paper discusses air cleaning for acceptable indoor air quality. ir cleaning has performed an important role in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems for many years. raditionally, general ventilation air-filtration equipment has been used to protect cooling coils and fans. ir cleaning is suggested as a means to reduce the need for fresh air to meet ventilation requirements. utdoor contaminants (such as pollen and pollutants) may need to be removed before air is introduced into occupied spaces. igh-efficiency filters could also reduce the need to clean ducts by preventing the deposition of particulate matter. ritical to the understanding and application of air cleaners are scientifically valid ways of testing performance. xperimental techniques have been developed to evaluate induct air cleaners for both particles and organic compounds. aboratory performance data of a number of air cleaners will be presented. uilding simulation models including laboratory performance data have been used to estimate the importance of air cleaners from a building system standpoint.
