A PM2.5 pollution-level adaptive air filtration system based on elastic filters for reducing energy consumption.
Exacerbated by human activities and natural events, air pollution poses severe health risks, requiring effective control measures to ensure healthy living environments. Traditional filtration systems that employ high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are capable of effectively removing particulate matter (PM) in indoor environments. However, these systems often work without considering the fluctuations in air pollution levels, leading to high energy consumption. This study proposed a novel PM2.5 pollution-level adaptive air filtration system that combined elastic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filters and an Internet of Things (IoT) system. The developed system can effectively adjust its filtration performance (i.e., pressure drop and PM2.5 filtration efficiency) in response to real-time air quality conditions by mechanically altering the structures of TPU filters. Furthermore, while operating in varied pollution conditions, the proposed system demonstrated remarkable reductions in pressure drop without notably compromising the pollution control capability. Finally, the energy consumption of the pollution-level adaptive air filtration system was estimated when applied in mechanical ventilation systems in different cities (Hong Kong, Beijing, and Xi'an) with various pollution conditions. The results revealed that, compared to a traditional fixed system, the annual energy consumption could be reduced by up to ∼26.4 % in Hong Kong.
