Abstract

Air filter is to filtering the air contaminant that will be supplied to the conditioned space, that means the air filter was an important device to control the air contaminant that been supplied to the space. The air filter should be tested for their performance by making the air filter test rig. To reduce the time and money, the test rig was made by using dimensional analysis and similarity method to reduce the size scaled of the air filter system. This project limitation is for system air handling unit that used the washable permanent air filter with the actual dimension before scaled was 24-inch width and 24-inch height. For the Air Handling Unit, the actual air flow is 3200 CFM, the RPM for the blower is 1208 RPM. The data from the model was atmospheric dust spot efficiency, pressure drop for the air flow, air permeability that through the air filter and the energy demand for the system. By reducing the time taken to collected the data, work and energy consumption for the actual system, money also was the main reason when this analytical method was been choose because the air filter test rig was not affected the actual system from running and the size of the test rig also more smaller than the actual system. The dimensional analysis and similarity concept can be used for the current engineering field because it can reduced the time and cost to test the performance of the system.
