AQI(Air Quality Index)
A numerical system for reporting air pollution severity
ASHRAE(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers)
sets design standards for the HVAC and refrigeration industry
HEPA filter
(High Efficiency Particulate Arresting)
uses brittle glass fibre to remove up to 99.7% of particles above 0.3 microns in diameter from the air
MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value)
is an ASHRAE filter rating scale that indicates the effectiveness of an air filter.
The scale ranges from 1-20
3 categories of air filters
dry
wet
electronic
ULPA filter
Ultra-Low Particulate Air filters are the MOST effective filter in the market
Fibrous media filters
the least expensive and the most widely used type of filter
some fibrous media filters are coated with an oil or adhesive(들러붙는) compound to increase their efficiency
trap 10 microns
1 micron ==
0.001 millimeters
Pleated Media Filters
capture particles from 3.0 - 10.0
Electrostatic filters
are constructed from specially blended self-charging materials
wet filters are called
air washers (ex. evaporative coolers)
electronic air cleaners
removes particles as small as 0.5 microns
One byproduct of electronic air cleaning is a polluting version of ozone gas
