Abstract

Abstract Population and industrialization growth is the major reason for the indoor air quality depletion. So, air quality control in sensitive area is needed to avoid air pollution-based hazards. Small economical air pollutant controlling equipment may be helpful in indoor air quality control. Present work covers the performance study of lab scale air purifier tower, 37 × 37 × 140 cm3 (LSAPT) for the removal of PM2.5, PM10 and TVOC from the polluted air in a control volume (75 m3). LSAPT follow 3 step pollutants removal procedure in which coarse particles are separated by prefilter and the fine particles are separated with the help of negative ioniser and activated carbon beds. More than 99 % of percentage of PM2.5, PM10 and TVOC removal are achieved within 100 s for initial pollutants loading of PM2.5: 1000 μg/m3 & PM10: 1000 μg/m3 and TVOC: 7.2 mg/m3 respectively. The assessment study suggests the proposed lab scale air purifier tower can be used continuously up to 10–15 days without much variation in pollutants removal efficacy. Approximately 7700 ₹ (92.40 US$) is used as installation cost and 30 ₹/hr (0.36 US$/hr) is used as consumable energy cost.

利用实验室规模的空气净化器塔控制室内空气质量

摘要人口和工业化的增长是造成室内空气质量下降的主要原因。因此，需要对敏感地区的空气质量进行控制，以避免基于空气污染的危害。小型经济的空气污染物控制设备可能有助于室内空气质量控制。目前的工作包括实验室规模的空气净化器塔，37×37×140的性能研究 cm3（LSAPT），用于在控制体积（75 m3）。LSAPT遵循三步污染物去除程序，其中粗颗粒通过预过滤器分离，细颗粒通过负离子床和活性炭床分离。超过99 % PM2.5、PM10和TVOC去除率在100以内 PM2.5初始污染物负荷s：1000 μg/m3和PM10:1000 μg/m3和TVOC:7.2 mg/m3。评估研究表明，拟建的实验室规模的空气净化器塔可以连续使用10-15天，污染物去除效果不会有太大变化。约7700₹ （92.40美元）用作安装费用，30₹/小时（0.36美元/小时）用作消耗能源成本。
