Question

What is the air change rate (ACH) for a 100 ft^2 (9.3 m^2) space with a 10 ft (3.0 m) ceiling and an airflow rate of 200 cfm (95 L/s)? A. B. C. 2 6 12

Answer 1

Answer:

The ACH is 12/h

Solution:

As per the question:

Area of the space, $A_{s} = 100 ft^{2}$

Height of the given space, h = 10 ft

Air flow rate, $Q_{a} = 200 cfm$

Now, to find the Air Change Rate (ACH):

We calculate the Volume of the given space:

$V_{s} = A_{s}\times h = 100\times 10 = 1000 ft^{3}$

Now, the ACH per min:

= $\frac{V_{s}}{Q_{a}} = \frac{1000}{200} = 5/min$

Now, ACH per hour:

= $\frac{60}{5} = 12/h$
