Chapter 1 – Air Cleaning Systems and Indoor Air Quality

State-of-the-art ﬁltration technology

Your IQAir advanced air cleaning system has been developed especially for the control of speciﬁc gaseous components.Thanks to advanced gas cartridge (GC) ﬁlter technology,each model of the IQAir Dental Series has been optimized for the control of speciﬁc gaseous pollutant groups.The following model conﬁgurations are available:

• IQAir® Dental Pro for the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), inorganic gases, mercury vapors and

microorganisms

• IQAir® Dental Hg for the control of mercury vapors and ﬁne drill aerosols

1.1 Improving Indoor Air Quality

Air cleaning can play an important role when it comes to improving indoor air quality.However, it should be noted that air cleaning should be used in conjunction with pollution source control and ventilation, wherever possible.

Strategy to improve indoor air quality

To tackle any indoor air quality problem,keep the following three-step strategy in mind:

1. Eliminate or reduce the air pollution source as much as possible.Source control is by far the most effective way to improve indoor air quality, since it sets out to deal with air pollution at the point of origin.

2. Ensure that sufﬁcient fresh air is entering the room from outside. Air cleaners are not a substitution for sufﬁcient ventilation. They are not able to reverse the conversion of oxygen (O2) into carbon dioxide (CO2), caused by breathing and combustion processes.

3. Ensure the IQAir® system can clean enough air to cope with your room size.The actual hourly air volume cleaned by the system should be at least double the air volume of your room.If the rate at which pollutants enter the room air is high or the indoor air quality requirements are stringent, the hourly air delivery of the system needs to exceed the room air volume several times.To achieve that level of air turnover, it may be necessary to employ more than one system.

Air Cleaning Results

Although air cleaners may be advertised and sold to be suitable for use in speciﬁc indoor environments and to deal with speciﬁc indoor air quality problems, the manufacturer and distributors make no claim as to the speciﬁc air cleaning results that are achieved under the user’s individual operating conditions.The air quality improvements that can be realized with the IQAir® system (as with any air cleaner) in indoor environments depends to a signiﬁcant degree on circumstantial factors, which are out of the control of the manufacturer or distributors. Important factors which will inﬂuence the air quality improvements that can be achieved in an indoor environment with an air cleaner include:

• Type of air pollutants present

• Intensity of the pollutant source(s)

• Pollutant concentration

• Size of the indoor environment (room size)

• Operating speed of the unit

• Number of air cleaners placed in the indoor environment

• Saturation state of the ﬁlters in the air cleaner

Consult a qualiﬁed specialist to determine an effective and comprehensive indoor air quality strategy.

Chapter 2 – Setting Up

2.2 Choosing a Suitable Location

When choosing a suitable location for the IQAir® system, keep the following considerations in mind:

• Choosing the most suitable room for the system will depend on where you would like the focus of the air cleaning

efforts. Two main considerations are the time you spend in a particular room and the location of the main air pollution sources. As a general rule, the closer the system is located to the air pollution source, the better the air cleaning performance in the room.

Although an air cleaning result may be achieved in adjacent rooms, the main air cleaning will take place in the room where the system is located. For the best air cleaning results in adjacent rooms, make sure that doors to these rooms are left wide open.

• For best performance, the system should be positioned at least 12 inches (1 foot) away from the nearest vertical

surface, such as a wall or a cupboard. In general, the more centrally the system is positioned, the better the performance.

• Position the system close to a power outlet and make sure that the power cable is positioned in a way that it does

not present an obstacle that could be tripped over.

• Make sure that the system is positioned in such a way that the control panel is easily accessible.

2.3 Connecting to Power

1. Plug the connector end of the power cord into the recessed power inlet socket on the back of the system.

2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip.

Important: The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord.

Do not use the IQAir® system when the power cord becomes damaged.The power cord may be replaced with an

approved cord with a two-pole plug. These power cords are commonly used for computers and similar appliances.
