Absorbability of contaminants from air by a snow cooling system.

Author(s) : IIJIMA K., KOBIYAMA M., HANAOKA Y., et al.

Summary

In this study, the authors measured the absorbability of tobacco smoke, formaldehyde, ammonia gas and some indoor air contaminants in a pilot plant of the snow cooling system. Experimental results showed that 40% formaldehyde and ammonia were removed when the inlet air temperature was cooled down from 30 to 13°C. Also, some contaminants included in tobacco smoke were removed by this system. This filter effect of the snow surface can be put to practical use in contamination control during air conditioning.
