Abstract

Contaminant control have become current issue in providing safe air quality. Air filter perform as the primary defense against pollutants to protect heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) components from dust thus supply clean air to the occupants. The efficiency of air filter defines how well the filter clean the air by removing the particulate matter (PM). Pressure drop are the primary performance indicator for HVAC filter, hence could measure energy consumption by predicting air flow resistance of the filter. Low air flow resistance is one of the easiest method to reduce energy cost, as HVAC system motor does not have to work hard to deliver air flow. In other words, filter testing is one of the best method to measure performance of air filter. The objective of this study is to design the HVAC air filter test rig in evaluate efficiency of air filter based on set key parameter. This study divide into several stage that are preparation and investigation of filter efficiency parameter, calculation, designing process and development of the test rig. Design of filter test rig is U shape with dimension 20 inch x 20 inch and for filter section is 24 inch x 24 inch. The test rig specification are design to meet ASHARE52.2 and EN779 standard which range of air flow rate is 600 m³/h to 6000 m³/h. For the end of this project, this prototype as expected can be used as an actual air filter test rig to make individual test especially for the contractor.
