Room Coverage Based On Air Changes/Hour (ACH) And Fan Speed
The table below shows estimated room coverage in square feet for the Austin Air Healthmate Plus Junior. When selecting an air purifier keep in mind that fan speed and noise go hand in hand and it may not be possible to operate at high speed in some environments. When it comes to air changes per hour, HEPA filters are more effective at higher ACH ratings and carbon filters are more effective at lower ACH ratings. AirFresh Solutions recommends 3-6 ACH for most common applications.
