Supporting judgment based on environment and operating conditions<br \/>\nThe following phenomena indicate that the filter has failed or is severely clogged:<br \/>\nThe particle concentration in the clean area continuously exceeds the standard, and the settled bacteria and airborne bacteria are not up to standard.<br \/>\nThe air velocity at the supply air ceiling outlet is uneven\uff0c with no wind in some areas\uff1b<br \/>\nUnder the same fan frequency\uff0c the indoor pressure difference continuously decreases\uff0c unable to maintain positive pressure\uff1b<br \/>\nFan noise increases\uff0c severe heating\uff0c long-term full-load operation.<br \/>\n5.
