Abstracts
Since airborne bacteria have been known to aggravate indoor air quality, studies on reducing bacteria particles
increase recently. In this study, a chamber(0.8m x 0.8m x 1.56m) system was built in order to simulate real conditions
for reducing airborne bacteria, and evaluated by a simple aerosol reduction test. A method utilizing
CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation was used to detect the horizontal cross-sectional area which represents
particle distribution in the chamber. Then an air-cleaner with HEPA filter and Carbon Fiber Ionizer was located on
that area for aerosol reduction test. The CFD result found the area was located at 0.2m height from the bottom of the
chamber, and the test showed aerosol reduction efficiencies using measurements of number concentration and
CFU(colony forming unit) per each case. At the measurement of number concentration, the reduction efficiency of
air-cleaner with filter and ionizer(Case 3) was about 90% after 4 minutes from the stop of the bacteria injection, and
that with only filter(Case 2) was about 90% after 8 minutes from the beginning. Lastly, that without filter and
ionizer(Case 1) was about 30% after 10 minutes. At the measurement of CFU, it shows similar results but it is related
to viability of bio-aerosol.
