Abstract

The results show that the relationships vary predominantly with particles size range and the air exchange rate. The influence seems to be lower with the M-SOV system due to the air filtration, the pressurization effect and the high air exchange rate.  Keywords: Supply-only ventilation, Extract-only ventilation, fine particles, indoor/outdoor relationship, experimental study.
