1,500m³/h

That's 6× as airy as an operating theatre — nothing on our list beats it. One complete change of air takes about 0.4 minutes.

What it means

How fast is the air changing?

Air changes assume the incoming air mixes completely. In practice some of it short-circuits straight to the extract, so the effective rate is lower.

The math

How to convert ACH to m³/h

Air changes are flow divided by room volume: ACH = m³/h ÷ room volume. The figures below use the room selected above.

Example: 150 ACH = 1,500 m³/h.

The table below is for Bathroom (10 m³).
