Eurovent publishes two new air fi lter recommendations
The Eurovent Product Group ‘Air Filters’ (PG-FIL) has released new air fi lter recommendations for the energy consumption evaluation of air fi lters for general ventilation purpose, and for general ventilation in NRVUs in the context of Ecodesign.
T
he purpose of the Recommendation 4/24 is to provide a generic methodology for estimating energy consumption of air fi lters for general ventilation under actual operating conditions, taking into consideration wide range of airfl ow rate, actual fi lter dimensions, approach to the fi lter change (condition based and time-based method), actual operating time and actual fan effi ciency. The document is built on the methodology
defi ned in Eurovent 4/21 and implements the ISO 16890 classifi cation, as well as its testing methods. The Recommendation 4/24, together with Eurovent 4/21 and Eurovent 4/25, forms a set of Eurovent documents for evaluation of energy consumption and energy effi ciency of air fi lters. The diff erences between the scope of respective Recommendations are the following: Eurovent 4/21 is an integral recommendation for energy rating and fi lter performance comparison at standard reference conditions as a basis for the certifi cation programme. Eurovent 4/25 is a simplifi ed version of this
recommendation to propose a consistent evaluation of energy consumption of air fi lters in the revised Regulation (EU) 1253/2014. Marc Schmidt, chairman of the Eurovent PG-FIL, said: “In an excellent team eff ort of the Eurovent Product Group ‘Air Filters’, the proven Recommendation 4/21 was adapted to new requirements and aspects. I am certain that these Eurovent Recommendations for assessing the energy consumption of air fi lters will be useful guidelines in the HVAC industry and will be widely used. As chairman of the Eurovent PG-FIL, I would like to express my gratitude to all members who have contributed to their development.” The Recommendations are addressed to all HVAC professionals dealing with ventilation systems, particularly designers, facility managers and manufacturers of equipment incorporating air fi lters. The documents were published by Eurovent and were prepared in a joint eff ort by participants of the Product Group ‘Air Filters’ (PG-FIL), which represents a vast majority of manufacturers of these products active on the EMEA market.
“The Recommendations are addressed to all HVAC professionals dealing with ventilation systems, particularly designers, facility managers and manufacturers of equipment incorporating air fi lters.”
