The CADR indicates how much filtered air is delivered (airflow) by the air purifier operating at the highest
setting, and how well the system removes tobacco smoke, dust and pollen pollutants from the air (efficiency).
Tests are performed in accordance with ANSI/AHAM AC-1. The maximum possible CADR ratings according
to this standard are: Tobacco Smoke: 450 cfm. / Dust: 400 cfm. / Pollen: 450 cfm.
Air changes per hour are calculated on the recommended room size, assuming 8-foot (2.4 m) ceilings. For
***
smaller rooms, the air changes per hour will increase.
The available electrical power voltage and frequency affects the power consumption of the unit. The power
****
consumption might therefore be different from the stated value.
