Tools for the analysis of gas-phase air-cleaning systems in buildings.

Author(s) : AXLEY J. W.

Summary

The paper reviews fundamental principles governing gas-phase sorption and chemisorption and presents mathematical models of gas-phase air-cleaning devices, based on these principles, that may be used for the practical analysis of integrated building/HVAC systems utilizing these devices. Three families of models are presented. Individual members of each family are distinguished by the sorption equilibrium used in their formulation. The simplest family is based on the assumption that boundary layer and pore diffusion is not rate limiting; the second accounts for rate-limiting boundary layer transport; and the third, most complete, model family accounts for both boundary layer and pore diffusion transport.
