Systems and methods for controlling indoor air quality with a fluid moving apparatus

A method of operating a fluid moving system, said method comprising:

• conveying, using a fluid moving apparatus, a fluid through a housing from an inlet to an outlet;
• removing, using an active cleaning device, at least a portion of an undesired matter from the fluid conveyed through the housing;
• turning, using an electric motor including a rotor coupled to the fluid moving apparatus, the fluid moving apparatus upon application of electric power to a stator of the electric motor;
• and
• controlling, using a motor controller communicatively coupled to the electric motor, at least one of a speed output or a torque output of the electric motor.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising:

• a fluid conduit;
• and
• a fluid moving system coupled in flow communication with said fluid conduit, said fluid moving apparatus comprising:
• a fluid moving apparatus configured to convey a fluid through a housing from an inlet to an outlet, at least one of the inlet and the outlet coupled in flow communication with said fluid conduit;
• an active cleaning device configured to neutralize or remove at least a portion of an undesired matter from the fluid conveyed through the housing;
• an electric motor including a rotor coupled to said fluid moving apparatus and configured to turn said fluid moving apparatus upon application of electric power to a stator of said electric motor;
• and
• a motor controller communicatively coupled to said electric motor and configured to control at least one of a speed output or a torque output thereof.
