Use our sizing calculator to help you determine which unit is best for your room and how many units you need to acheive proper air circulation.
A CleanLeaf media air cleaner is considered an "ambient air cleaning system" designed to run ambient shop air through a series of high efficiency filters and/or carbon depending on the application. When sized for 8-10 air changes per hour, you will create a constant reduction in the amount of airborne particulate in the room between 70-90%. We always recommend capturing the particulate at the source when possible but understand source capture is not always an option. Blue Ox air cleaners are often used as a secondary filtration system to source capture or when source capture is not applicable.
1. First, we determined the air changes per hour requirement from the following:
- Light: 4-6
- Medium: 6-8
- Heavy: 8-12
(For our purposes, we use 8 air changes per hour as a standard)
2. Second, we determined the required CFM for your application:
Sq Footage = Length x Width x Height (We use 12' by default)
Total Required CFM = Sq Feet x 8 Air Changes per hour / 60
3. Determine the total number of units required:
Total Units = Total Required CFM / Unit CF Rating
For Example: 12,000 Required CFM would require (4) 3,000 CFM units
