5、IAL NOTEThis American National Standard (ANS) is a national voluntary consensus Standard developed under the auspices of ASHRAE. Consensus is definedby the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved this Standard as an ANS, as“substantial agreeme
6、nt reached by directly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrence of more than a simple majority,but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that an effort be made toward their resolution.”Compliance with this St
7、andard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes compliance mandatory through legislation. ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and international members, associated societies, and public review.ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee appointed s
8、pecifically for the purpose of writing the Standard. The ProjectCommittee Chair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be ASHRAE members, allmust be technically qualified in the subject area of the Standard. Every effort is made to balance the concerne
9、d interests on all Project Committees.

It is merelyinformative and does not contain requirements necessaryfor conformance to t
23、he standard. It has not been pro-cessed according to the ANSI requirements for a standardand may contain material that has not been subject topublic review or a consensus process. Unresolved objec-tors on informative material are not offered the right toappeal at ASHRAE or ANSI.)FOREWORDThe air arou
24、nd us may contain a variety of undesirable con-taminants in gaseous form. Concentrations of these contami-nants may vary from trace amounts to toxic levels, and atcertain concentrations contaminants may become a problemfor people and equipment. Impacts on occupants may includenoxious odor, physical
25、irritation, and adverse affects onhealth, while equipment may be affected by corrosion. Whenproblem concentrations are present in the air-distributionsystem of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC)system, removal may be necessary to protect building occu-pants; HVAC system components;
26、building furnishings orstored materials; and industrial/manufacturing equipment,processes, or products.Gaseous air contaminants can be removed by variousair-cleaning processes. The most common removal processemploys physical adsorption with or without chemical reac-tion using filtration media in gra
27、nular (pellet) form in parti-cle sizes ranging from 4 to 12 mesh in the U.S. sieve series(0.187 to 0.661 in. 1.68 to 4.76 mm). Such media includeplain (untreated) or chemically impregnated activated car-bons and activated aluminas, other adsorbent materials, andcatalysts. These media are those gener
28、ally used in the gas-phase air-cleaning equipment most often selected for use in abuilding HVAC system. ASHRAE Standard 145.1 provides aperformance test method for this form of media and is notintended to test the performance of flat media (e.g., carbon-impregnated fibers). The results obtained here
29、 cannot be usedto predict the performance of sorptive media gas-phase air-cleaning devices or installed systems.This standard outlines a test procedure with quality con-trol constraints to develop a performance metric using per-cent removal efficiency and removal capacity of a smallmedia sample when
30、 it is challenged under steady-state condi-tions by a number of gaseous contaminants. Two groups ofchemical contaminants are prescribed (the acid gas challengegroup and the volatile organic compounds challenge group),and the user may select one or both groups for testing. How-ever, all representativ
31、e compounds of a group selected aretested for reporting purposes. Other challenge gases may betested using the methodology described in this standard butare not part of the reporting requirements. The procedure iswritten for testing individual chemical contaminants. Testingof mixtures of chemical co
32、ntaminants, although possibleusing this procedure, would be considered a nonstandard testand require a much higher level of understanding, expertise,control, and analysis to achieve meaningful results.The laboratory test apparatus, equipment, test protocol,quality control guidelines, and equipment c
33、alibration speci-fied in this standard are designed to ensure repeatabilitywithin 10% of the measured value. Considerable capital isrequired to establish a laboratory with the test apparatus andinstrumentation prescribed. However, compliance with thetest standard cannot be met with alternative test
34、apparatus orprocedures because of the complexity of gaseous contaminantremoval processes.ASHRAE Standard 145.1 is intended for use in assessingthe performance of loose granular media and is the first oftwo standards developed by SSPC 145. The other, designatedASHRAE Standard 145.2, Laboratory Test M
35、ethod forAssessing the Performance of Gas-Phase Air-Cleaning Sys-tems: Air-Cleaning Devices, focuses on assessing the perfor-mance of sorptive media gas-phase air-cleaning devices.1. PURPOSEThe purpose of this standard is to provide a standard labora-tory test method for assessing the performance of
36、 loose gran-ular media used in gas-phase air-cleaning systems. Theresults of these tests can provide information to the engineerthat is useful in the design and selection of air-cleaning equip-ment and the design of air-cleaning systems for controllingindoor concentrations of gaseous air contaminant
37、s.2. SCOPE2.1 This standard prescribes a small-scale laboratory testmethod for measuring the contaminant removal efficiency ofloose granular sorptive media used in gas-phase air-cleaningequipment as installed (in a test apparatus) in an airstreamand challenged with test gases under steady-state cond
38、itions.This test is conducted at elevated gas challenge concentra-tions (relative to ventilation applications) and thereforeshould be used to compare media rather than directly predictperformance in any particular application.2.2 This standard defines methods of calculating and report-ing results ob
39、tained from the test data and establishes a resultsreporting system that can be applied to loose granular mediacovered by this standard.2.3 This standard does not apply toa. bonded carbon panels, beaded activated carbon, carboncloths, absorbent-loaded nonwovens, dry-process carboncomposites, orb. pa
