HEPA filters are usually fixed into the HVAC system; however, portable, industrial grade HEPA units are available that can filter air at the rate of 300–800 ft3 /min. Portable HEPA filters are used to

  1. temporarily recirculate air in rooms with no general ventilation,
  2. augment systems that cannot provide adequate airflow, and
  3. provide increased effectiveness in airflow.4

Portable HEPA units are useful engineering controls that help clean the air when the central HVAC system is undergoing repairs219 but these units do not satisfy fresh-air requirements.214

  1. The effectiveness of the portable unit for particle removal is dependent on
  2. the configuration of the room,
    the furniture and persons in the room,
  3. the placement of the units relative to the contents and layout of the room, and
  4. the location of the supply and exhaust registers or grilles.

If portable, industrial-grade units are used, they should be capable of recirculating all or nearly all of the room air through the HEPA filter, and the unit should be designed to achieve the equivalent of ≥12 ACH.4 (An average room has approximately 1,600 ft3 of airspace.) The hospital engineering department should be contacted to provide ACH information in the event that a portable HEPA filter unit is necessary to augment the existing fixed HVAC system for air cleaning.
