How many air changes per hour would it give?

Estimate: air changes per hour (ACH) = smoke CADR × 60 ÷ room volume, at the top fan speed used for the CADR test. Real-world ACH is usually lower (lower fan speeds, furniture, filter loading).

AHAM's 2/3 rule: choose a smoke CADR of at least 2/3 of the room's area (8 ft ceiling). By that rule this model suits rooms up to about 309 sq ft.
