Portable Air Scrubbers For Commercial Use and Public Spaces
Clean air is vital to our health – yet, the majority of the harmful airborne particles are odorless and invisible to the naked eye, making it difficult to assess whether we are exposed to unclean air.
According to the WHO – World Health Organization, air pollution has become the world’s single biggest environmental health risk, and the EPA; Environmental Protection Agency, informs that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air.
With that in mind, we tend to spend 90% of our time indoors: to create a safer indoor environment, the usage of air cleaners is endorsed by numerous authorities (e.g. EPA¹ and WHO²). Originally designed to clean air from silica dust and other hazardous particles at construction sites, the Husqvarna air cleaners can substantially improve ambient air quality in most indoor facilities.
How does an Air Scrubber work?
An air scrubber constantly draws in the air from the room, processes it through a pre-filter which retains the larger particles and then filters it through the sensitive HEPA filter, retaining the smallest articles. The cleaned air is afterwards released into the room again. Depending on the desired frequency, the entire air of the room can be cleaned every few minutes.
What types of particles can an air scrubber/air cleaner catch?
The air cleaner filter is extremely efficient and captures up to 99.97% of all airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns. What type of particals does that cover?
Plant spores (10-80 microns), fungus spores (5-30 microns), bacteria (3-5 microns), tobacco smoke (0.1-0.5 microns), viruses (0.003 – 0.5 microns)
How do I choose the right sized air scrubber to clean a room?
-Two parameters are essential, air volume of the room (m³) and the desired frequency of cleaning the entire air volume per hour.
-Multiply the air volume of the room with the desired air cleaning frequency to obtain the needed air flow capacity.
EXAMPLE:
Air volume = H x W x L = 3 x 8 x 12 = 288
The desired air cleaning frequency is 10 times per hour
The needed air flow capacity = 288 x 10 = 2880 m3/h
ANSWER:
You will need air scrubber that will handle 2880 m3/h
Husqvarna's A600 and A2000 Air Scrubbers
The Husqvarna A2000 and A600 air scrubbers are ideal for cleaning rooms 10 times an hour. To create a cleaner room like the example of above you would need:
Three A600’s with an air flow capacity of 1000 m3/h or one Husqvarna A2000 and two A600 air cleaners to accomplish this task. The specs below define the cleaning capacity of both units.
Husqvarna A2000 | Husqvarna A600 | |
Voltage | 110 | 110 |
Amps | 5 | 3.2 |
Power, KW | 0.585 | 0.385 |
Power Supply | 1 phase | 1 phase |
Airflow at full speed m3/h | 2000 | 1000 |
Airflow at half speed m3/h | 1000 | 500 |
Sound level at full speed, dB(A) | 68 | 65 |
Sound level at half speed, dB(A) | 60 | 58 |
Hepa-Filter, m² | 10.5 | 3.5 |
