S.7 Active Carbon Filter
S.8 Odor Neutralizing Unit
Activecarbonlterscomprisingcartridgeshavinganexternaldiameterof140mm,thicknessof70mm,andlengthof600mmare
used in Geniox VOClean Ecology Units.
Active carbon material has extremely small pores in its structure. The total surface area of these pores is quite high. The small size
of the pores help to retain odor particles inside the pores while the exceedingly high surface area enables the material to hale long
lasting odor retention properties.
Theodorretentionefciencyoftheactivecarbonlterisdirectlyproportionaltothecontacttimebetweentheactivecarbon
particles and the air that contains particles which cause bad odors; and to the quantity of active carbon particles.
In order to achieve the ideal contact time, Systemair uses cartridges of optimum size and in optimum quantities in the Geniox
VOClean Ecology Unit. Active carbon material of high density is used as an additional measure.
Increasingthenumberofstagesoftheactivecarbonlterisalsoofferedasanoptiontoincreaseefciencyofodorretention.
Thesinglestageactivatedcarbonlteroffersaminimumcontacttimeof0.1seconds,whilethedoublestageactivatedcarbon
lteroffersaminimumcontacttimeof0.2seconds.
The odor neutralizing unit comprises a small fan, a damper-valve assembly to adjust the quantity of vaporized odor neutralizing
agent,thetankthatwillbelledwiththeagent,andapipethatisnotconductiveofelectricity.
The fan inside the unit draws air from the outside environment and passes the air over the neutralizing agent in liquid phase,
causing the agent to evaporate. The evaporated agent is ionized under 15,000 Volts by means of the transformer. The ionized
agent in vapor form is sent inside the air handling unit through the pipe that does not conduct electricity.
Since the odor causing particles are neutral in charge inside the grounded air handling unit, they are electrically drawn to the
ionized odor neutralizing agent, and the two types of particles attach to each other.
Atthisstagetheodorparticlesareeliminatedbytheagentandexhaustedtotheoutsideenvironmentwiththeairow.
