Evaluation of fixed and adaptive concentration thresholds for particle filter systems
© 2022 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd..
Particle filtration can effectively reduce indoor concentrations of particulate matter (PM) but may incur high energy use. This study evaluates fixed and adaptive concentration thresholds to automate the operation of filtration systems. Simulated environments were derived from week-long continuous PM measurements from Dylos DC1700 (N = 104) and Alphasense OPC-N2 (N = 100) particle counters deployed in apartments in Toronto. A fixed threshold of 4.0 μg·m-3 resulted in a mean air cleaner runtime of 6.9%-21.0% depending on clean air delivery rate (CADR) and particle sensor, while providing mean concentration reductions of 67%-71% compared to operating the air cleaner constantly (runtime = 100%). In most environments, runtime could be further reduced by raising the fixed threshold while resulting in only a modest decrease in absolute and normalized mean exposure reduction. Using an adaptive threshold derived from a k-means clustering approach generally provided substantial exposure reduction while preventing high runtimes. These results were generally insensitive to cleaning power and the monitor used to measure particle concentrations. Reducing the energy usage of particle filter systems will make them a more viable and sustainable means of improving occupant health.
