Overview
This course covers cleaning particulate contaminants from
both ventilation and re-circulated air for conditioning building interiors.

microorganisms and gaseous contaminants.
In this course the student will learn about air cleaners
for particulate contaminants, atmospheric dust, aerosol characteristics,
air-cleaning applications, evaluation of air cleaners, air cleaner test methods,
types of cleaners, filter types and performance, selection and maintenance,
installation and safety considerations.
The student is expected to read and review the material
contained in ASHRAE Handbook – 2004 HVAC Systems And Equipment, Chapter 24: Air
Cleaners For Particulate Contaminants.
