Abstract
This paper describes the design of an air-conditioning unit that incorporates a unique pulse filtration system particularly suited to address some of the problems relating to indoor air quality.
The challenge facing the air-conditioning industry is to minimize the effects of poor indoor quality while maintaining low capital and operating costs. This is a formidable challenge as invariably improving the air quality requires an increases in outdoor air quantity and hence an increase in energy consumption and plant capacity.
It is shown that the proposed air-conditioning system will not necessarily increase the yearly energy cost as it makes use of a variable outdoor air volume system together with an automatic filtration system that has significantly lower maintenance costs.
