Experimental study on both cleaning effect and motion performance of the duct-cleaning robot

With increasing consideration on public health, the cleaning industry for central air-conditioning systems has been flourished in China with the rapidly developed of both duct-cleaning technology and cleaning robots. By testing the performance on the experimental platform, this paper presents the cleaning effect and motion performance of the duct-cleaning robot designed by our expert group. The result indicates that the cleaning effect is not satisfied at corners and elbows, where the pollution is relatively serious. At the end of this paper, it points out the development direction for China's duct-cleaning robot and its experimental platform, which can provide an important basis to standardize the test platform, tools and methods for the evaluation of robot's performance.
