How to calculate air purifier capacity
How to calculate air purifier capacity is a practical task that ties room measurements to the purifier’s output. In fact, capacity is best understood as the CADR you need to achieve your target air turnover. The Air Purifier Info team emphasizes that successful capacity planning starts with a clear aim: how quickly do you want the air in the room to be refreshed? This article explores how to translate that aim into a measurable CADR target and how to compare models that meet it. By focusing on room volume, desired air changes per hour (ACH), and the purifier’s CADR, you’ll have a solid framework to improve indoor air quality in spaces ranging from a compact bedroom to a larger living area.
