Professional Control
Airborne Particulates
The IQAir® Cleanroom Series has been
designed specifically for the removal of airborne particles. The systems
feature the highest air delivery and longest filter life of any IQAir
particle filter system. To allow for maximum air delivery the systems
contain no gas phase filtration.
The Cleanroom Series provides a choice of
2 models, each with a specific filter efficiency and air delivery profile.
While healthcare facilities may require higher air delivery to achieve
optimum control of microorganisms (e.g. in ICUs or TB isolation rooms), a
cleanroom facility may need a filtration efficiency of 99.97% to meet strict
manufacturing regulations or standards.
Positive and Negative Pressure Environments
Each IQAir® Cleanroom system can be used
as a recirculation device or it can be combined with IQAir's ducting
adapters InFlow W125 or OutFlow W125 to create positive and negative
pressure environments. The creation of negative pressure helps to contain
harmful particles, such as microorganisms, in a particular area (e.g. TB
isolation).
The creation of positive pressure helps to
protect clean areas from contaminants entering from adjacent rooms (e.g.
protective isolation of immuno-compromised patients, controlled environments
for medical device manufacturing).
Decentralised Airborne Infection Control in Health-Care
Facilities
Airborne pathogens in health-care
environments pose a particular risk to immunocompromised patients who may
inhale fungal spores, bacteria and viruses. Airborne microorganisms can not
only complicate recovery from surgery, but can also lead to life-threatening
infections,costing health-care services hundreds of millions every year.
Hospital-acquired aspergillosis for
example has been recognised increasingly as a cause of severe illness and
high mortality in immunocompromised individuals, e.g. patients undergoing
chemotherapy and/or organ or bone marrow transplants. In the light of the
marked increase in nosocomial infections over recent years, many of which
are caused by drug-resistant pathogens, the importance of using
high-efficiency air filtration systems beyond the confines of so-called
“critical areas” (such as operation theatres) has once again been emphasised.
Both the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), advise that, wherever possible, preventive infection
control measures should be implemented to reduce the risk of nosocomial
infections. [read full

With its large fan motor, IQAir® systems produce more clean
air with less noise than conventional air cleaners.
Unlike most air cleaners, which have the fan motor located after all filter
stages, IQAir® systems have the fan in the center, in-between its noise
absorbing filters.
IQAir® systems also feature a unique double-walled housing design to reduce
sound transmission.
Eight shock absorbers, which hold the fan ensure that vibration isn't
transmitted to the housing.
The results are impressive. IQAir® systems are suitable for even the most
noise sensitive environments and are virtually inaudible at the lowest fan
speed setting.
The filters in IQAir® systems are designed to last longer
than those in conventional air cleaners.
High-Efficiency Pre-Filtration
While most air cleaners use pre-filters with particle efficiencies well
below 20%, IQAir® systems typically retain over 90% of particle mass in the
pre-filter. As a result, IQAir's HEPA and gas phase filter are better
protected from premature loading.
Independent Filter Stages
Conventional air cleaners often combine several filter types in one filter
cartridge. As a result, the whole cartridge has to be replaced even if only
one filter type is used up.
Large Filters
To minimize manufacturing cost, most air cleaners use very little filter
material. IQAir uses commercial size filters that are able to collect more
pollutants and last longer.
Even though IQAir® systems are very powerful, they are also
energy efficient. Outstanding energy efficiency is achieved with a very
efficient fan and an advanced fan control setup. As a result, it cost only
pennies per day to run an IQAir® system.
Intelligent Filter Life Monitor
Ordinary air cleaners have you guess when to replace filters or use a preset
timer. IQAir's intelligent filter life monitor takes actual use, speed
settings and air quality conditions into account. This ensures maximum
filter yield and performance from your IQAir system.

Up to Six Fan Speed Settings
Most air cleaners provide only two or three fan speed settings. You have to
run the unit either on a quiet but ineffective fan speed, or choose a more
powerful, but noisy speed. IQAir systems give you the choice of up to six
fan speeds, allowing you to select the ideal performance-to-sound ratio.
Integrated Timer Each
IQAir® system can be programmed to run automatically. Set the unit to run
during office hours or program it in your bedroom to go on after you have
reached deep slumber.
Remote Control
Each IQAir® system comes with a remote control which allows you to turn the
unit on and off, select the fan speed and activate the timer.
The efficiency stated for most air cleaners is purely
theoretical. Internal leakage drastically reduces the actual efficiency of
most air cleaners.
IQAir systems feature patented triple sealing technology. First, a unique
process ensures that the filter media is 100% sealed in the filter frame.
Second, our patented 3D UltraSeal ensures perfect sealing between filter
frame and housing. Third, individual seals on each housing module ensure an
air tight housing. As a result, IQAir® systems have an actual system
efficiency which is higher than the theoretical efficiency of conventional
air cleaners.
Many high-end air cleaners are made from sheet metal which
dents easily and where the paint scratches and chips. Many department store
air cleaners use inferior plastics which shatter easily. Built to last and
look great for a lifetime, IQAir systems are manufactured from fully cured,
high-grade injection molded ABS. A 3 mm (0.125 inch) housing thickness makes
IQAir systems extremely impact resistant.
In
an industry where most air cleaners don't actually meet their manufacturers'
claims, IQAir® tests and certifies each and every IQAir® system. In our
Swiss production facility, each unit is tested for particle filtration
efficiency, filter leakage and air delivery. Each unit is issued with its
very own two-page Certificate of Performance, detailing the test results for
that very machine.
All IQAir® systems are covered by a two to five year warranty
depending on model and country of purchase. Filters, as consumables, are
exempt from this warranty.
IQAir® systems use the highest quality fan motor available.
The IQAir centrifugal, backward curved fan has an astonishing 700 cfm (1200
m3/h) rating. Because each fan is individually balanced and uses steel ball
bearings, it outlasts other fans by years.
Most air cleaners return the air through a small outlet,
which creates annoying air drafts. IQAir® systems are designed to avoid
drafts by evenly returning cleaned air through a large 320° vented diffuser.
