Ductwork Cleanliness Measurement Research
An early example of EVHA co-operation was the work done by Dr Birgit Müller and her department, the Hermann-Rietschel-Institute for Heating and Air-Conditioning of Technical University of Berlin. This work was done as part of the Airless programme and was part-funded by the European Union.
This was important work and led to the adoption by the CEN of the ‘Finnish method’ of vacuum testing with a brushing action to actively disturb dusts off the surface. Previously the most widely known method was the American NADCA vacuum test which was less sensitive and critically, could not be used on circular ductwork
