1. An HVAC system, comprising:
- an air cleaner;
a fan configured to selectively generate an air flow at least partially through the air cleaner; and
a controller configured to establish a functional relationship between an air flow related criterion and a correlated power level setting of the air cleaner, determine an air flow related criterion value, determine a correlated power level setting value using the determined air flow related criterion value and the functional relationship, and control the air cleaner as a function of the determined correlated power level setting value.

Abstract
An HVAC system having an air cleaner, a fan that selectively generates an air flow at least partially through the air cleaner, and a controller that establishes a functional relationship between an air flow related criterion and a correlated power level setting of the air cleaner, determines an air flow related criterion value, determines a correlated power level setting value using the determined air flow related criterion value and the functional relationship, and controls the air cleaner as a function of the determined correlated power level setting value is disclosed.

14. A method of operating an HVAC system, comprising:
-
establishing a functional relationship between an air flow related criterion and a correlated power level setting of an air cleaner, wherein the air flow related criterion is associated with a fan configured to selectively generate an air flow at least partially through the air cleaner; determining an air flow related criterion value; determining a correlated power level setting value using the determined air flow related criterion value and the functional relationship; and controlling the air cleaner as a function of the determined correlated power level setting value. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
