When according to the 6th total adsorbance of preset formula activated carbon adsorption amount ÷ active carbon calculate active carbon this consumption ratio it Afterwards, active carbon this consumption ratio meets replacement active carbon threshold value, then carries out active carbon filter screen replacement prompt.
It is smart can to calculate comparison in conjunction with the real-time air quantity of clarifier by parameters such as monitoring PM2.5, PM10 for monitor controller True dust amount can just be learnt the consume ratio of HEPA strainer at any time according to the dust containing capacity of HEPA strainer again with this, reach and set Determining service life then prompts user to replace HEPA strainer;Monitor controller passes through the monitoring of PARA FORMALDEHYDE PRILLS(91,95) content, cooperates real-time air quantity With the total adsorbance of active carbon just it can be seen that the service life state of active carbon filter screen, accurate to remind user's replacement;Monitor controller passes through Monitoring to PM10, in conjunction with the real-time air quantity of clarifier just it can be seen that the use state of primary filter, accurately and timely reminds user clear Clean pre- strainer.
The calculation method in PM2.5 strainer service life is: the total dust containing capacity of the total adsorbance ÷ of substantial activity charcoal=strainer this consumption ratio.
Practical dust containing capacity=environment PM2.5 reading × unit time air quantity × PM2.5 absorptivity;
When host is connect with detection controller, environment PM2.5 reading is obtained by controller test, and returns to host; When host and detection controller disconnect when working independently, host can be read with fixed PM2.5 to estimate practical dust containing capacity.
The calculation method in active carbon filter screen strainer service life is: the total adsorbance=activity of substantial activity charcoal adsorbance ÷ active carbon Charcoal strainer this consumption ratio.
Practical adsorbance=environment formaldehyde reading × unit time air quantity × formaldehyde absorption rate;
When host is connect with detection controller, environment formaldehyde reading is obtained by controller test, and returns to host;When Host and detection controller disconnect when working independently, and host can be read with fixed formaldehyde to estimate practical adsorbance.It needs Bright, there is limitation in 2 years in the active carbon filter screen service life, and practical work on power by host starts to add up, and no longer than 2 years.
It should be noted that this consumption ratio of the strainer in the present embodiment can be further according to strainer this consumption ratio formula (strainer running time/strainer service life limits the time) the * the first proportionality coefficient+(actual absorption amount/gross absorption) * the second compares Example coefficient, which calculates, to be obtained;
Wherein, the first proportionality coefficient is 0-100%, and the second proportionality coefficient is 100%-0, the first proportionality coefficient and the second ratio The sum of example coefficient is 1.
It is illustrated by taking active carbon filter screen as an example below.
The limitation service life of active carbon filter screen in the present embodiment is 2 years, is estimated with daily 12 hours working times, then It is * 2 years * 365 days=8000 hours 12 hours;
Total adsorbance that active carbon filter screen can achieve in the ideal situation in this example is 2800mg;
The replacement threshold value of active carbon filter screen is 95%;
So this consumption ratio of active carbon filter screen is (∑ working time/8000) * 60%- (∑ adsorbance/2800) * 40%, therein 60% and 40% is our empirical value.
When this this consumption ratio reaches 95%, air purifier issues active carbon filter screen replacement prompt.
The technical issues of solution:
Strainer itself has service life limitation, if air quality is for a long time sorrow, although strainer is within a very long time Without effectively adsorbing pollutant, but as time goes by, strainer itself also can be lossy, therefore with the work of air purifier It is modified as the time.
For example, environmental contaminants are formaldehyde, but PM2.5 is 0 always, then air purifier can work always, active carbon Strainer carries out always absorption work, and HEPA strainer is not filtered, but also can be lossy.
For example, environmental contaminants are formaldehyde, but PM2.5 is 0 always, then air purifier can work always, active carbon Strainer carries out always absorption work, and HEPA strainer is not filtered, but also can be lossy.
