Air cleaning equipment used for removing particulate matter. 3.2 Air Filter Media. The part of the Air Filter Equipment which is the actual particulate removing agent. In the case of

14、Group III equipment (Section 4), the terms charging section and/or collecting section shall be used. 3.3 Arrestance (A). A measure of the ability of an air-cleaning device with efficiencies less than 20% in the size range of 3.0- 10.0 m to remove loading dust, as defined in ASHRAE 52.2, from test ai

15、r. Measurements are made of the weight of loading dust fed and the weight of dust passing the device during each loading step. The difference between the weight of dust fed and the weight of dust passing the device is calculated as the dust captured by the device. Arrestance is then calculated as th

16、e percentage of the dust fed that was captured by the device. AHRI STANDARD 850 (I-P)-2013 2 3.4 Average Arrestance (Aavg). For an air-cleaning device with efficiencies less than 20% in the size range of 3.0-10.0 m, the average value of the arrestance values made on the device during the loading tes

17、t, weighted by the amounts of dust fed to the device during each incremental dust loading step. 3.5 Dust Holding Capacity. For disposable and manually renewable devices, the Average Arrestance multiplied by the amount of ASHRAE dust fed to the device measured to the nearest gram. Dust is fed until e

18、ither of these conditions occurs: 3.5.1 The resistance of the device reaches the Rated Final Resistance. 3.5.2 Two consecutive arrestance measurements are less than 85% of the maximum Arrestance measured during the run. In this case, the Dust Holding Capacity shall not include dust captured during o

19、r after a feed increment in which Arrestance has fallen below 85% of the maximum value. 3.5.3 The Arrestance is less than 75% of the peak value. 3.6 HEPA Filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air).

A rating based on tests performed at application Rating Conditions (other than Standard Rating Conditi

23、ons). 3.8.2 Standard Rating. A rating based on tests performed at Standard Rating Conditions. 3.9 Rated Final Resistance. The maximum operating resistance at which the device should be replaced or renewed, as recommended by the manufacturer. 3.10 Rating Conditions. Any set of operating conditions un

26、renewal action is accomplished by means incorporated within the device itself; actuation may be manual or automatic. 3.13 “Shall“ or “Should.“ “Shall“ or “should“ shall be interpreted as follows: 3.13.1 Shall. Where “Shall“ or “shall not“ is used for a provision specified, that provision is mandator

27、y if compliance with the standard is claimed. 3.13.2 Should. “Should“ is used to indicate provisions which are not mandatory but which are desirable as good practice. 3.14 Standard Equipment. The minimum assembly of components required to qualify equipment within one of the classification groups. AH

28、RI STANDARD 850 (I-P)-2013 3 3.15 Support.
