25、ANSI.)FOREWORDThe air processed by building HVAC systems typically con-tains a variety of contaminants in gaseous form. The concen-trations of these contaminants may vary from trace amountsin most cases to the toxic levels that can be encountered neara spill or other extraordinary event. Whenever ga

26、seous con-taminants reach unacceptable levels, or may be expected toreach such levels, air cleaning may be used to improve theusability of the space or to protect the building occupants, theHVAC system components, or the contents of the building.These concerns exist not only for commercial buildings

27、 butfor industrial workspaces as well.Gaseous air contaminants can be removed by various air-cleaning processes. This standard provides a performance testmethod both for individual filters and for complete devicesdesigned to be used for full-scale commercial in-duct gaseous-contaminant air cleaning.

28、 Gaseous-contaminant air-cleaningdevices of this type rely on sorptive active agents such as plain(untreated) or chemically impregnated activated carbons, acti-vated aluminas, other adsorbent materials, or catalysts. Theytypically take the form of granular beds, supported or attachedgranules or powd

29、ers, or fibrous mats. Other fabricated formsare possible. These gaseous-contaminant air-cleaning devicesare those most often selected for use in building HVAC systems.This standard describes a test procedure with quality-control constraints to measure percent removal efficiency andremoval capacity o

30、f gaseous-contaminant removal deviceswhen challenged under steady-state conditions. The test isdesigned to simulate the capture performance of commer-cially available HVAC filters under controlled, representativeconditions. The filters to be tested using this standard areintended to remove gaseous c

31、ontaminants that are present atlow-to-modest levels and nuisance odors, thereby protectingbuilding contents and processes and reducing corrosion. Thetest end-point is chemical breakthrough that exceeds a mini-mum removal efficiency. This test may be used to evaluate fil-ters for use in a building de

32、signed and/or operated accordingto the ASHRAE Standard 62.1 IAQ procedure. This testmethod is not intended to test filters whose function is to pro-tect against extraordinary events producing gaseous chemi-cals that are immediately threatening to the health of buildingoccupants.A companion small-sca

33、le, low-flow-rate version of this testprocedureANSI/ASHRAE Standard 145.1, Laboratory TestMethod for Assessing the Performance of Gas-Phase Air-Cleaning Systems: Loose Granular Mediaprovides compara-ble sorptive granular media challenges at a much lower nomi-nal flow rate of 1.7 m3/h (28.32 L/min, o

34、r 1.0 ft3/min). Thissmaller scale provides a lower potential operator exposureand, with its much smaller footprint, is much more amenable tolocal exhaust venting and allows relatively easy cleanup.The test contaminants used may be hazardous, so thesafety of those conducting the tests is of paramount

35、 impor-tance. The primary personal hazard associated with the testmethod is inadvertent inhalation. This procedure incorporatesa number of steps designed to reduce personal inhalationexposures, and these should be followed carefully. Merely fol-lowing these steps does not, however, ensure safe opera

37、hin 10% of the measured value. Where possible, themethod specifies the performance required of hardware andinstrumentation rather than prescribing the specific charac-teristics of these items in detail. Considerable capital isrequired to establish a laboratory with the large-scale testapparatus and

38、instrumentation described. Ideally, test dataproduced by the less complex and less costly companionsmall-scale test method (Standard 145.1) will ultimatelyallow prediction of large-scale results. However, actual large-scale testing requires minimal assumptions and may still bepreferred for either cr

39、itical applications or for contaminantsfor which minimal information on sorptive media characteris-tics exists in the literature.While the methods presented in the standard can argu-ably be used to test gaseous-contaminant removal for any air-cleaning device that can be adapted to fit and operate pr

40、op-erly in the test equipment, its stated scope is deliberately lim-ited to sorptive active agents of the kind mentioned above. Allgaseous-contaminant air-cleaning devices potentially mayproduce byproduct chemical species. The established sorptiveair-cleaner active agents (e.g., carbon and alumina w

41、ith thecommon impregnation systems, catalysts, and additives) havebeen used for many years, and the potential byproducts are inlarge part known. Testing to identify byproducts is thus notrequired.Innovative technologies do not have the advantage ofyears of use-testing, and potential chemical byprodu

42、cts arenot known. Therefore, the standard is not suitable for testinginnovative technologies because testing for byproduct chemi-cals is not addressed. The test method is also not intended totest technologies that inject or vaporize chemicals or sorptivematerials into the airstream in that it does n

43、ot require down-stream measurement of unreacted reagent or material carry-over. Finally, the test method was not developed to allowaccurate test chemical measurement from saturated air-streams, so water scrubbers and similar technologies cannotbe tested by this method.The testing under this methodol

44、ogy can be conducted bymodifying (e.g., adding temperature and relative humiditycontrol and instrumentation) some large-scale rigs designedpreviously for testing per ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2,Method of Testing General Ventilation Air-Cleaning Devicesfor Removal Efficiency by Particle Size. This adds

45、 versatility tothe apparatus, allows switching back and forth between parti-cle and gas testing, and increases the overall testing cost- ASHRAE (www.ashrae.org). For personal use only.

Thus, many of the requirements for Standard52.2 are retained for this gas cleaner method and are cited byreference to this earlier document, rather than repeating themverbatim. Additionally, some characterization testing,

47、such ascontaminant dispersal uniformity ahead of the test substrate, ifpreviously conducted for Standard 52.2 and found to beacceptable prior to the gas-phase testing, is accepted as suffi-cient for the gas testing of this standard as well. The most useful performance data for gaseous-contami-nant a

48、ir-cleaning devices are those obtained at the design air-flow rate when challenged with the chemical contaminatingthe space and at the use conditions. The results of such a testbest determine the air cleaner lifetime that can be expected.Many applications require control of mixed contaminantspresent

49、 at very low levels for extended periods (months), andin this case the test becomes excessively expensive. On theother hand, a test can be conducted according to this standardat a fixed flow rate, temperature, relative humidity, and at anelevated challenge concentration relative to expected use lev-els. Such a test is shorter, reducing testing cost, but the testresults are directly useful only for ranking different air clean-ers.
