I'm running a test involving 3M filtrete on my aircon with 100% coverage.
Start PM2.5 concentration, 35 ug/m3. Actually ard the same as NEA reported for South 1900-2000hr = 33 ug/m3.
(1800-1900h = 32 ug/m3)
Aircon unit is Panasonic non-inverter, with e-ion function. I switched on the e-ion function to see if it charges the 3M (most aircons shd have such a function).
1. Aircon blower set to Turbo mode for max airflow.
2. Auto-swing is ON, for good mixing of air in the room.
3. Duration 0 mins, 10 mins, 20 mins.
I just did a DIY cleaning last weekend for this FCU. So airflow is as good as new (I DIY clean my FCUs every 2 months with aircon cleaning foam and 90 PSI water from my Panasonic oral irrigator/water flosser).
3M Filtrete is sourced from Amazon during end 2013 (after PSI 401 haze)
