HVAC on ship: cross-discipline question, please help

I am EE/CE. We are testing some air-filter working inside the HVAC duct, wondering how many units would a ship need to be equipped.

Anyone knows about the answer, or where to start looking for answers?

Many thanks for any answer or tip.

I would repost this under the HVAC/R Engineering section of "Mechanical Engineering" to get a better response.

Furthermore some explaination would be helpful. Amount of air, size of duct, etc whatever can be disclosed.

Regards,

EOIT

Suggest you contact a firm like Portsmouth Aviation that deals with this kind of stuff.  Of course depending on the exact nature of your question it may be sensitive information.

Wellman might be able to help in UK too.  If it's military then the relevant department/section of the appropriate Navy should be able to help.

If nothing else you'd need to state the size of ship.  If I recall there are figures on what % volume of the air needs to be replaced per unit time.  Can't recall what they are though.  May be in a Stanag but I'm not sure.

Just looked on their website and they actually give some figures but I don't think enough info to answer your questions.
