美国家用电器制造商协会（AHAM）为测试便携式空气净化器的初始除尘能力设定了一个自愿标准。在我们为当地消费者委员会进行的便携式空气滤清器测试中，AHAM方法被扩展到测试气相污染物的初始去除能力。此外，在许多空气滤清器上测试了碳过滤器去除甲苯的效率随时间的变化。在使用大型试验箱进行这些试验时，对试验箱壁吸附和再发射效应进行了实验量化。这些试验表明，壁面吸附受控的大型腔室，用于量化气相污染物的初始清洁能力，简单且可靠。基于这些测试结果，提出了一种大腔室法来测试便携式空气滤清器的性能寿命。 与管道内性能寿命试验方法相比，该方法的系统优势在于，不需要连续的空气净化系统，并且通过组合整体式除湿器和鼓泡器系统，腔室的湿度和温度可以更容易地保持在所需值。本文将介绍我们的便携式空气滤清器试验结果，并讨论大型环境室技术。单元:SICitation:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1998年，第104卷，第2部分，多伦多

The U.S. Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) has set a voluntary standard for testing the initial dust-removal capacity of portable air cleaners. In our test of portable air cleaners for the local consumer council, the AHAM method was extended to test the initial removal capacity for gaseous phase pollutants. Also, carbon filters' efficiency change over time in toluene removal on a number of air cleaners was tested. In using a large chamber to carry out these tests, the chamber wall adsorption and re-emission effects were experimentally quantified. These tests indicated that a large chamber, with its wall surface adsorption controlled, is simple and robust to use to quantify the initial cleaning capacity for gaseous phase pollutants. Based on these test results, a large chamber method is proposed to test the performance lifetimes of portable air cleaners. The system advantages of the method over the in-duct performance life test methods are that no continuous air-cleaning system is required and that the chamber's humidity and temperature can be maintained at the desired values more easily with the combination of a unitary dehumidifier and a bubbler system. This paper will present our trial results with portable air cleaner tests and discuss the large environmental chamber techniques.Units: SI
