Vacuum Cleaner Filtration Test System

Vacuum Cleaner Filters for emission characterisation of vacuum cleaners (EN 60312)

For emission tests the suction air is prepared with a dust concentration of 550 mg/m³ and passed directly into the hose of the vac.

For dust retaining tests the suction air is prepared with a dust concentration of 100 mg/m³ in the inlet channel (mixing tube) described in the standard.

Applications

Determination of particle emission of the vacuum cleaner into the exhaust air

Determination of the dust retaining capacity of the vacuum cleaner

Standard

The Vacuum Cleaner Filters is designed for tests on vacuum cleaners (vac) for household or small business use according to the standard EN 60312.

Test Procedures

(1) Place the vacuum cleaner in the sealed test hood and ensure airtight connection.

(2) Select the test type: emission test or dust retention test.

(3) Start the dust feeder and set the required dust concentration.

(4) Launch automatic or manual testing program and collect particle concentration and airflow data.

(5) Calibrate sensors (airflow, pressure, environmental conditions) to ensure accuracy.

(6) After the test, export data and generate statistical analysis and test reports.
