Design and Size of Airocide APS-300
Airocide is currently the only NASA-lineage air purifier brand. The company has only manufactured high-end products since 1998, using PCO technology to fight the ultra-fine contaminants, which is smaller than the HEPA filter standard.
The APS-300 is the air purifier of second-generation Airocide. It's a great-looking device, as in 2014 this Airocide APS-300 design was awarded by Edison Award for Gold for Design and Innovation. It brings with it a newer orange color and a neutral white color. For presentation Airocide APS-300 also uses the same quality wood grain jacket. Other requirements remain similar.
The Airocide APS-300 measures 18.7 x 6.9 x 6 inches and weighs 9 lbs which makes it easy to blend into any decoration.
It's also important to note that the Airocide APS-300 uses a unique concept for airflow systems. The direction of airflow comes from both top and bottom grills and then separates the air purifier from the inlet. Inside the air purifier, you can find the control panel, as well as the power button from behind.
Filters of Airocide APS-300
Airocide APS-300 retains the air filtration system from the first Airocide air purifier but upgrades the internal part for longer service life. The chamber system can last for 15 months.
PCO chamber – Airocide APS-300 's advanced PCO technology is capable of eliminating almost 100 percent of harmful pathogens and other allergens such as molds, viruses, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and lasts for 15 months.
In this Airocide APS-300, the PCO system is again being applied to kill even the tiniest contaminants. The PCO system, developed by NASA itself, can transform harmful molds, microorganisms, dangerous bacteria, damaging VOCs and biological gasses into harmless water vapor.
The PCO cycle is, in-depth, a chamber of hollow glass tubes, which are filled with a catalyst. Using UV light (254-nm light), the catalyst carries out a chemical process called Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO), as it creates hydroxyl radicals (OH) and eliminates atoms from neighboring molecules (airborne contaminants), thereby destroying the pollutants.
Usually, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water molecules (H2O) are the by-products of this process. Although not licensed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), Airocide APS-300 doesn't emit any ozone.
The difference between Airocide APS-300 and Airocide APS 200 PM 2.5 is that the APS-300 doesn't have a filter to trap mold, dander, dust, and harmful VOCs.
Instead, the Airocide APS-300's advanced PCO technology kills the harmful pathogens and other allergens and releases them into the air, ensuring no filter-change is required.
Room Coverage of Airocide APS-300
The Airocide APS-300 is more effective than the previous Airocide APS-200 and Airocide APS-200 PM 2.5. The air purifier is designed to run 24/7, however, so it can clean a wide space (500 square feet). The Airocide APS-300 ACH (Air Changes Every Hour) is 1X. This can only turn air once an hour. The Airocide APS-300's CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) is calculated to just 40 cfm. This is why for constant efficiency, the air purifier must run 24/7.
The APS-300 is the air purifier of second-generation Airocide. It is a true filterless air purifier operating on NASA-developed PCO technology developed by Airocide. VOCs, mold spores, bacteria, and viruses are absolutely dissolved in the air in your home as they move through the APS-300 and are designed to operate continuously in a bedroom.
This model represents an update to the APS-200, first launched in 2013. It's getting a modern, streamlined feel. And, it has a pure, neutral color. So, any modern room would complement that. The research has also made headway. The chamber of reaction only needs to adjust every 15 months. Operating this is far more economical.
