Abstract
An advanced supply air filtration unit has been
developed, and its performance was evaluated in the
laboratory. The filter consists of an electrically
enhanced particle filter and an adsorbent filter for
gases. It has been designed for installation near supply
air outlets. The performance of the filtration unit was
measured in the laboratory. The results showed that the
filtration efficiency for submicron particles was over
95% during the whole lifetime of the filter. The removal
efficiency of the gas filter for toluene was also high,
over 95%. An important advantage is the high efficiency
with a low pressure drop that allows the filter to be
installed in existing HVAC systems without extensive
modifications. With the aid of the filter, protection
against harmful or hazardous air contaminants can be
improved energy efficiently in specific rooms or areas of
a building.
