Customized Gas and Odor Control
The GCX Series is IQAir’s highest capacity air cleaner range
with customized filters for specific gaseous contaminants and odors. Just
like a professional gas mask, IQAir maximizes filter efficiency for
different gases and odors by offering the right filter cartridge. And while
gas and odor control are a particular strength of these systems, the GCX
Series also offers excellent filtration efficiency for particles.
The main difference between the GCX and
its smaller sibling the GC is, that the GCX contains 25 lbs. of gas phase
media while the GC Series contains 12 lbs. In addition the GCX Series
features larger pre- and post-particle filters. As a result the maximum air
delivery of the GCX is about 20% higher than that of the GC.
Gas Cartridge Technology
Each IQAir® GCX model contains four
reusable filter cartridges with up to 25 lbs. of gas phase media. A wide
range of differently formulated cartridges are available to maximize the
filtration efficiency for different types of gaseous contaminants. Since
IQAir® gas filter cartridges are reusable, replacing them is not only
economical, but also environmentally friendly.
High-Efficiency Particulate Filtration
The particulate filtration GCX units complements the gaseous
filtration process by removing over 97% of particles before they can reach
the gas phase media. This increases the efficiency and life of the media by
preventing its pores from clogging. The GXC units' overall filtration
efficiency for particles is 97% at .3 microns. The post filter is
electrostatically charged to trap particulate pollutants and microorganisms
(bacteria and viruses)
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.
Filter Life
Monitor
Menu shows remaining life of each individual filter, down to the hour.
Filter Status LEDs

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.
