Experiment on Removal Efficiency of Dust Particle Using a Ventilation Test House

Abstract:

Dust particle which includes corpses and feces of the mite, animal dander, cockroaches, and mould spores can reach the lung of human and then trigger asthma disease easily. In this research, experimental studies were carried out in order to examine particle removal efficiency in a room with two ventilation systems: a ceiling exhaust system and a slit exhaust system. The results indicated that there was no clear relationship between removal efficiency and two different outlet locations. Also, from the results after the decay, the particle count in the case of the ceiling exhaust was higher than that in the case of the slit exhaust.
