New energy efficiency classification facilitates European-wide air cleaner comparison

Which had Camfil Farr already 2010 in form of an mark-own ABC energy rating assumed, recently in co-operation considerable European manufacturer was discharged as euro vent standard: A classification of the energy efficiency helpful with the air cleaner purchase simplifies in the future the objective comparison of products on basis of the modified EN779. Apart from the categories A (= lowest energy consumption) to G (= highest energy consumption) information about the yearly energy consumption as well as at the beginning and minimum efficiency of each filter obtains uniform label. A condition for this comprehensive Kundenservice: The respective manufacturer let itself be certified voluntarily by euro vent. Camfil continues still another step and refers from now on the energy efficiency class and partially also the minimum efficiency also into the names of its filters. Ten to 20 per cent of the entire building current consumption on heating, ventilation and air conditioning are spent at present on the average. For the lowering of the associated C02-Emissionen the European union with appropriate guidelines particularly demands a more efficient energy use in public and commercially used real estate. Apart from lastingness and environmental arguments continuously rising electricity tariffs require more energy-saving and thus operating cost lowering measures. A goal of many Facility managers is it to select air cleaners within the necessary filter class which work as effectively as possible and use at the same time little river. So far a sounding of the filter market was possible, very complex and only reduced only by the comparison of average efficiencies goal-leading in the absence of a uniform product declaration. More transparent and thus simpler � with this goal the air cleaner manufacturers certified after euro vent make the air cleaner comparison a piece a European-wide uniform classification system discharged now and to communication of all information important for the purchase committed themselves. Thus their product label in the future the filter class with the modified EN779 the corresponding minimum efficiency as well as additional data contain over the initial efficiency, the annual energy consumption as well as the energy efficiency classes A to G., redefined for air cleaners, beyond that integrate Camfil in the future the energy efficiency classification and if necessary the information about the minimum efficiency in the product names of its air cleaners. For example the rear-Flo XLT7 receives the addition A50+ for the energy class A and a minimum efficiency of over 50 per cent. The, is the larger the energy expenditure takes up more dust particle an air cleaner for the production of a constant air flow achievement by the fan. The computation of the new energy efficiency classes is based both on the measurement of the filter efficiency and the pressure loss as consequence of increasing dust admission. In addition during a simulated test yearly in the laboratory a representative value for the energy consumption on basis of the average pressure loss is determined during this time. This energy value serves the allocation of an energy class between A (= lowest energy consumption) and G (= highest energy consumption). Picture: The product label of Camfil contain in the future also the energy efficiency class and partially also the minimum efficiency.
