Airborne Particulate Matter in HVAC Systems and its Influence on Indoor Air Quality

Zeming Fu, N. Li, Hsin-Yi Wang

Abstract

This paper first reviews the mechanisms governing movement of PMs in HVAC systems. Then, the basic equations governing PM deposition in ducts are introduced and investigations on airborne PMs distribution in HVAC systems are reviewed. The influence of PMs on indoor air quality and effectiveness of corresponding controlling measures is discussed extensively in the paper. Finally, recommendations for further research are given.
