Custom Perforated Air Intake Guards for Mobile Testing Vehicles: Enhancing Field Performance

Custom Perforated Air Intake Guards for Mobile Testing Vehicles: Enhancing Field Performance

In 2024, a research team in Brisbane, Australia, upgraded their fleet of mobile air quality testing trucks after learning from the Nairobi project (Read Nairobi’s case here). Their main modification was the addition of custom perforated air intake guards to optimize airflow and reduce dust accumulation during long road trips.

Benefits of Custom Perforated Air Intake Guards

When used in mobile testing vehicles, these guards:

• Block Large Particles: Prevents coarse dust, leaves, and insects from entering ventilation systems.

• Stabilize Airflow: Maintains consistent pressure for sensitive monitoring instruments.

• Reduce Maintenance: Extends the lifespan of both HEPA and secondary filters.

For guidelines on ventilation in mobile labs, see Journal of Environmental Health – NEHA and WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual.

Case Study: Brisbane Fleet Optimization

The Brisbane team installed stainless steel perforated guards with carefully calculated hole diameters and open area percentages. Results included:

• Filter replacement frequency reduced by 38%.

• More stable readings in PM2.5 and PM10 measurements.

• Lower fan load, reducing energy consumption by 8%.
