For instance what is CADR? Well, what this abreviation means is The Clean Air Delivery Rate. Interesting! Right? It is if you want the best airpurifier that money can by. The Clean Air Delivery Rate Measurement is part of a program developed by Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), its purpose, to assist you in making a purchase of an air purifier.
Air purifiers selection
There are many airpurifiers on the market so I am sure that you can only imagine the type of research you may have to do without the relevant information. The CADR calculation is based on how much an air purifier can filter cubic feet of air every minute.
So, if the CADR is high this indicates that the air purifier is able to filter a rooms air at a faster rate. Also another thing to know, is that air purifiers that have the CADR seal can also remove tabacco smoke particles, animal dander, mold, mildew, dust and pollen particles.
Air purifiers CADR calculation
Here's a calculation that can help assist you when calculating CADR -
Square footage x .75=CADR
Example: If your room is 16'x17', which equals 272 sq. ft., you'll need an air purifier that has a CADR of at least 204.
272 x .75=204
If an air purifier isn't available with the exact CADR you calculate, round up. For instance, if your room size requires a CADR of 204, purchase one with a CADR of 220.
If the ceilings in your room are higher than 8', move up to the next level CADR that is used for a larger room. If you happen to have an open floor plan, you should buy two small air purifiers. This way you can move them to different areas in your home, which will help to clean the air more efficiently than one unit.
