PRICE’s Overhead Air Purifier is the ideal option for improving air quality

PRICE: OVERHEAD AIR PURIFIER

In today’s world, indoor air quality is an increasing concern and the ability to provide clean air to room occupants is more important than ever. Most commercial spaces focus primarily on cost and thermal comfort while air quality is based on minimum requirements, which can result in lower than optimal air quality.

The Overhead Air Purifier (OAP) is an ideal option for improving indoor air quality wherever and whenever you need it, particularly in high density areas like office spaces, classrooms, fitness centers, retail, and restaurants. It is designed to continuously cycle air through an air filter, eliminating unwanted dust, germs, contaminants, and pathogens.

  • The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends using high-efficiency air filtration systems for the safe operation of schools and office buildings.
  • ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers), the primary US organization responsible for providing building standards and guidelines related to ventilation of commercial buildings, also recommends using high-efficiency air filtration systems to protect against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in high density commercial and institutional spaces.


ENGINEERED PERFORMANCE

The OAP uses an internal fan to draw air through an air filter, and then send the air back into the space through any Price Industries diffuser. With the fan continually running, the air in the occupied space is consistently filtered to provide purified, clean air.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

The Overhead Air Purifier (OAP) is an ideal option for any indoor spaces where additional filtration is desired, including office spaces, classrooms, hotels and more.
The OAP utilizes proven air purification technologies to improve indoor air quality and combat the challenges of airborne pathogens. The OAP is packaged above the ceiling, making it a permanent solution without utilizing valuable floor space.

FEATURES

  • 100-800 cfm
  • Easily removable and replaceable filter
  • Quiet operation
  • Energy efficient smart EC motor
  • Adjustable fan speed
  • 115, 208, 240, 277 V

FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

The OAP can be installed above a t-bar ceiling, drywall ceiling, or in an exposed open ceiling application. Any Price Industries diffusers can be applied.

OPTIONS

  • UV light treatment
  • Bi-polar ionization
  • MERV 13, or MERV 8 Pre-filter and HEPA filter

Protect Health and Wellness: DriSteem humidification systems help reduce the spread of illness.

Humidify hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities to promote healing and protect against bacteria and viruses.


Humidification Improves Indoor Air Quality

Bacteria and viruses thrive in dry air. A too-dry room can cause that scratchy sore throat to last for days. Keeping RH levels within a range of 40 to 60 percent not only decreases bacteria and viruses in the air, but hinders the development of fungi, mites, chemical interactions, and ozone production. The result is reduced occurrences of allergic rhinitis, respiratory infections, and asthma among building occupants. Humidify hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities to promote healing and protect against bacteria and viruses.

In addition, humidified spaces feel warmer and are more comfortable for occupants, especially in cold climates where heating systems run frequently.

Benefits Of Humidification
  • Improves indoor air quality
  • Reduces respiratory illnesses
  • Makes indoor environments feel more comfortable

Tempeff: The Dual Core Difference. Turning up the Heat on Energy Recovery!

Tempeff

Turning up the Heat on Energy Recovery!

Stinebaugh & Company represents Tempeff, with Dual Core™ Technology, offering the highest quality energy recovery equipment with the highest efficiency available.

 

 

The Dual Core Difference

Any building owner or operator knows that due to the extreme North American climate, conditioning ventilation air is very expensive. Ventilation air is extremely important to ensure the building is healthy and in turn the occupants are healthy and productive. Thanks to Tempeff Dual Core’s high efficiencies, owners can meet or exceed minimum legislated ventilation requirements, without the usual high operating costs of traditional ventilation heating and cooling equipment.

 

Up to 90% sensible efficiency

Other available technologies offer a maximum of 50-75% efficiency under ideal circumstances, and much lower real effectiveness in colder temperatures due to frost. Our Dual Core™ design is significantly more energy efficient in all conditions, without any requirement for a defrost strategy, thus true operating costs are extremely attractive.

Obtain up to 70% latent recovery

In winter modes condensation will form on the exhausting heat exchanger. When the cycle changes, the outdoor air is passed over the heat exchanger and that moisture is added back to the airstream. This reduces the need for added humidity in the conditioned space.

Resist frost while maintaining effectiveness

Most heat recovery technologies suffer from the same basic drawback. In cold temperatures, frost forms on the exhaust side of the heat exchanger. This dramatically reduces the heat recovery effectiveness and drives up true operating costs. With the Dual Core™ design frost will never build up in a typical application. By employing a cycling heat exchanger, frost doesn’t have a chance to form, and one heat exchanger is always delivering conditioned air to the space.

Lower the maintenance of your system

With few moving parts, maintenance of the system is very low. Due to the cycling nature of the heat exchangers dust rarely builds up on the heat exchangers, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning.

Long Term Performance

In a third party audit of a 17 year old installation, performed by CIT Energy Management AB, it was found that the efficiency of the equipment was the same as the day it was installed (90% measured temperature efficiency). Owners of Tempeff equipment can rest assured that the high efficiency achieved will not diminish over time.
