Indoor air cleaning systems that incorporate CO(2)sorbent materials enable HVAC load shifting and efficiency improvements. This study developed a bench-scale experimental system to evaluate the performance of a sorbent under controlled operation conditions. A thermostatic holder containing 3.15 g sorbent was connected to a manifold that delivered CO2-enriched air at a known temperature and relative humidity (RH). The air stream was also enriched with 0.8-2.1 ppm formaldehyde. The CO(2)concentration was monitored in real-time upstream and downstream of the sorbent, and integrated formaldehyde samples were collected at different times using DNPH-coated silica cartridges. Sorbent regeneration was carried out by circulating clean air in countercurrent. Almost 200 loading/regeneration cycles were performed in the span of 17 months, from which 104 were carried out at reference test conditions defined by loading with air at 25 degrees C, 38% RH, and 1000 ppm CO2, and regenerating with air at 80 degrees C, 3% RH and 400 ppm CO2. The working capacity decreased slightly from 43-44 mg CO(2)per g sorbent to 39-40 mg per g over the 17 months. The capacity increased with lower loading temperature (in the range 15-35 degrees C) and higher regeneration temperature, between 40 and 80 degrees C. The CO(2)capacity was not sensitive to the moisture content in the range 6-9 g/m(3), and decreased slightly when dry air was used. Loading isothermal breakthrough curves were fitted to three simple adsorption models, verifying that pseudo-first-order kinetics appropriately describes the adsorption process. The model predicted that equilibrium capacities decreased with increasing temperature from 15 to 35 degrees C, while adsorption rate constants slightly increased. The formaldehyde adsorption efficiency was 80%-99% in different cycles, corresponding to an average capacity of 86 +/- 36 mu g/g. Formaldehyde was not quantitatively released during regeneration, but its accumulation on the sorbent did not affect CO(2)adsorption.
