About AirQ 880
About AirQ 880
Welcome to a whole new world of air treatment from Prolitec, the technology leader in air care with
scent. The AQ880 is the most advanced commercial air-treatment system on the market today. It is
the world’s first fully adjustable commercial air-treatment system engineered to serve indoor spaces.
AQ880 is a patented, computer-controlled, always-on system capable of maintaining a constant,
uniform and controlled level of scent or odor neutralizer.
The AQ880 converts fragrances and odor control formulations (“Agents”) into ultra-fine droplets
for controlled distribution as an aerosol or vapor directly into a room. It is designed for permanent
installation on a wall in the area to be treated.
The AQ880 is managed by an on-board computer that is fully adjustable, enabling intensity
settings to match space sizes from 200 to 30,000 cubic feet (10-850 cubic meters). The AQ880 is
programmable, capable of executing 21 distinct start and stop times, repeatable daily or weekly.
Utilizing up to 21 programs and the full range of 50 intensity settings allows you to optimize the
fragrance levels depending on peak and non-peak occupancy in the space. This new feature can
save you money on fragrance AND service visits.
Typical AQ880 applications include air treatment to enhance or improve indoor air quality including
odor cancelling, and ambient scenting in public spaces such as casinos, malls, hotels, theaters,
ballrooms, convention centers, hospitals, retirement and assisted living facilities, schools and
restrooms. A single AQ880 can do both odor control and ambient scenting at the same time.
The AQ880 with Prolitec odor control formulations and fragrances will cancel a wide range of
offensive odors and replace them with pleasant scents available from the Prolitec fragrance catalog
or custom developed to meet client requirements.
The AQ880 works by generating ultra fine, ultra-light droplets approximately 1 micrometer (µm) in
diameter. By comparison, a droplet from a typical pressurized aerosol spray can is 50 microns (50000
nanometers) in diameter or 50 times larger than an AQ880 droplet. In terms of weight and volume of
liquid, the comparison is even more dramatic. A 50-micron aerosol droplet is 125,000 times heavier
than a 1 µm AirQ droplet.1 (See also Table 1 below.) This tiny AirQ droplet offers many performance
benefits over a conventional aerosol including: completely uniform distribution of the treatment
agent; 50 times more exposed surface area; and the absence of any liquid deposits on surfaces.
AQ880 is simple to install and program for specific room size, airflow conditions, and desired scent
intensity. Minimal maintenance is required beyond the periodic change of the disposable fragrance
cartridge, bi-annual replacement of one battery, and a simple wipe down or dusting of exterior
surfaces. Once installed in the right location, AQ880 will outperform any other system, providing
completely uniform scent distribution.
The AQ880 advanced technology creates a scent effect with a smaller quantity of fragrance
ingredients than any other method. The chemicals employed in making AQ880 fragrances are fully
compliant with the most restrictive air-quality and inhalation standards. AQ880 generates no harmful
VOCs and uses no ethanol or propellants. Quite simply, used as directed, AQ880 is the greenest,
most eco-friendly way to introduce scent into an interior space with no negative impact on indoor air
quality. This is not an accident. The scientists and engineers at Prolitec are committed to the highest
ecological and human safety standards.
