The object of this research is the new concept of the original universal system for air quality and energy control in laboratory conditions (wet scrubbing system) based on the „clean air in/out“ principle. Namely, the process involves a partial or complete exchange of recirculated treated air. From the aspect of water, as a pure medium, the system is characterized by broad application in the open, semi-open, and closed air treatment systems: primarily in the breeding and accompanying agricultural facilities, industrial, cultural, sports, tourist, medical and other controlled spaces. The analysis showed that the system at its inlet unit and with the block structure and logical phase development, proved energy, environ-mental and qualitative efficiency in the removal of PM10 and PM2.5 particles from the controlled dust doses in laboratory air. The measurements of PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations were performed with two Alphasense OPC-N3 optical counters at the inlet and outlet of the system. Five operating regimes with frequency regulated number of revolutions of the turbo elements that was taken as an independent variable, achieved different degrees of removal of PM10 and PM2.5 from the treated laboratory air: 97.70-98.53% and 62.19-75.75%, respectively. The assessment of system energy use was done by parallel measuring of electric power and comparative deviations of its absolute values in the first decimal. Energy consumption for the treatment of 1m3 of air ranged from 0.00011- 0.00016 kWm–3. Statistical analysis of qualitative indicators revealed significant differences between the operating regimes and the obtained values.
