Commercial & Industrial Air Purifier | PRC Series by RoboVent

Clean Air Matrix

RoboVent engineers are experts in every category of air filtration and ventilation. The four categories below represent the major options for treating your contaminated air. RoboVent has designed solutions for each of these categories and has manufactured air filtration systems of unrivaled quality.

For more information about these categories, see Indoor Air Quality 101.

Ambient_Filtration

Large blowers and air filtration equipment draw contaminated air from the plant (typically at the ceiling level), filter it and return it to the plant. This is a proven solution in plants welding large parts with overhead cranes. It reduces the haze in the air, resulting in a cleaner working environment, with no negative pressure or heat loss.

SourceCapture_Filtration

Air in the immediate area of the welding activity is captured in a hood system, then filtered and returned to the plant. This is the best solution whenever possible. It allows for a more flexible system and removes the smoke directly from the operator's breathing zone. There are many types of source capture, including overhead hoods, crossflow hoods, fume arms and fume guns, some of which work better than others.

Ambient_Exhaust

Large exhaust fans draw contaminated air from the plant and exhaust it directly into the environment, typically through the roof or walls. This is a traditional method and often results in negative air pressure. Also, it is very difficult to climate-control your plant and the system may not work well in the winter.

SourceCapture_Exhaust
Air in the immediate area of the welding activity is captured in a hood, sent through ductwork, and exhausted directly into the environment. This is a lower capital cost alternative to filtration, but tends to result in high operating costs and large, unsightly ducting systems that work less efficiently with modifications. It also results in negative pressure problems.

Improve Air Quality and Help Maintain Safer, Cleaner Indoor Environments

When equipped with a HEPA Filter, the PRC from RoboVent will remove 99.97% of particles larger than .3 microns. ASHRAE Standard 62.1 “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality” recommends meeting or exceeding the air change rates with a MERV13 filter. The PRC comes standard with a MERV15 filter to help enhance your existing ventilation system with better air filtration and can be upgraded to HEPA level filtration for additional peace of mind. This simple unit can be wheeled around to give any space better indoor air quality keeping customers, employees and patrons safer. Just plug it in to start breathing cleaner air to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other harmful viruses and bacteria

Use the calculator below to determine your preferred air turnover rate

  • Captures sub-micron particles like airborne viruses, bacteria and mold spores
    • including pet dander, pollen, dust & smoke
  • Provides cleaner indoor air more free of particulate
  • Reduces odors (with carbon pre-filter)
  • Simple plug & play unit, 110v
  • Standard Colors: RoboVent Blue, VentBoss Yellow and White

The Filter Media

Air will flow through two stages of air filtration before exhausting into the room. The PRC comes standard with a MERV 8, carbon pre-filter and has three options for interior cartridge filter media, choose the best for your application:

  • Nanofiber, MERV15; 254 sq. ft. Media Area
  • HEPA E11; 170 sq. ft. Media Area (Comparable to N95 mask media)
  • HEPA H13; 170 sq. ft. Media Area (Comparable to P100 mask media)

What Am I Filtering?

The type of particulate we capture in air filtration systems is often driven by the actual media being used inside the filtration system. It’s important to know the make-up of the particle, it’s relationship with airflow patterns in terms of how the air conveys the particle and the micron size.

Typical Environments

The PRC is suitable for any indoor setting and typically used in commercial and light industrial settings as a supplemental, portable system to existing HVAC filtration systems. When the volume of space exceeds 2,500 cu ft, we recommend multiple units or perhaps considering a larger, more centralized system.

Example Areas may include but not be limited to:

Assisted Living Facilities |  Churches | Convenience Stores
Control Panel Rooms |  Fire Stations  |  Food Prep Areas & Kitchens | Grocery Stores  |
Gyms |  Laboratories |  Laundry Facilities |  Light Assembly Areas
Marijuana Dispensary & Cannabis Operations  |  Municipal Buildings | Nursing Facilities
Operating Rooms  |  Packaging Areas |  Patient Receiving & Discharge Spaces  |  Police Stations
Physical Therapy Clinics  |  Print Shops  |  Prisons & Jails  |  Repair Shops  |  Shipping Areas
Waiting Rooms  |  Warehouses  |  Workshops  |  Worship Centers

How Often Should I Recirculate the Air in the Room?

If the return air from the purifier does not need to be exhausted outside, such as in an emergency room setting or a triage area, it could be based on user preference. Do you want to refresh the air 1x per hour? 100x per hour?  It’s really up to you. Use the calculator below to make your determination.

Enter your room dimensions below to see how many changes per hour a single PRC unit. You can also just enter a total room volume if you don’t have specific dimensions.

If for some reason the calculator above isn’t working, don’t fret. The following calculation gives you an idea of the refresh rate a single RoboVent PRC can provide:

  • Room Height x Room Length x Room Width = Room Volume
  • RoboVent PRC = 1200 CFM or 800 CFM
  • Room Volume ÷ CFM = number of minutes per room change
  • 60 minutes ÷ number of minutes per room change = Room Change per Hour
