About AQ/PS/RZ 1270
Welcome to a whole new world of air treatment from Prolitec, the technology leader in air care with
scent. The AQ1270 appliance 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.
AQ1270 is a patented, computer-controlled, always-on system capable of maintaining a constant,
uniform and controlled level of scent or odor neutralizer.
The AQ1270 converts fragrances and odor control formulations (“Agents”) into ultra-fine droplets
for controlled distribution as an aerosol or vapor directly into a room or via the airflow of the HVAC
system, either through the central fan unit (CFU) or at suitable locations in the branched ductwork. It
is designed for permanent installation on a wall in the area to be treated or integrated with the CFU.
The AQ1270 is managed by an on-board computer that is fully adjustable, enabling intensity settings
to match space sizes from 1,800 to 150,000 cubic feet (50-4,200 cubic meters) per appliance. The
AQ1270 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. Multiple appliances can work together on the same
or multiple CFUs to treat the air in the same spaces served by the HVAC. Multiple appliances can
work together in the same space.
Typical AQ1270 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 AQ1270 can do both odor control and ambient scenting at the same time.
The AQ1270 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 AQ1270 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 AQ1270 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 such
as the interior surfaces in an HVAC system.
AQ1270 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, inspection and annual replacement of three O-rings, and a simple wipe down or dusting
of exterior surfaces. Once installed in the right location, AQ1270 will outperform any other system,
providing completely uniform scent distribution.
The AQ1270’s advanced technology creates a scent effect with a smaller quantity of fragrance
ingredients than any other method. The chemicals employed in making AQ1270 fragrances are
fully compliant with the most restrictive air-quality and inhalation standards. AQ1270 generates no
