About AQ/PS/RZ 1200
Welcome to a whole new world of air treatment from Prolitec, the technology leader in air care with scent.
The AQ1200 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.
AQ1200 is a patented, computer-controlled, always-on system capable of maintaining a constant, uniform
and controlled level of scent or odor neutralizer.
The AQ1200 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 AQ1200 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 AQ1200 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 AQ1200 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
AQ1200 can do both odor control and ambient scenting at the same time.
The AQ1200 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 AQ1200 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 AQ1200 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.
AQ1200 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, AQ1200 will outperform any other system, providing
completely uniform scent distribution.
The AQ1200’s advanced technology creates a scent effect with a smaller quantity of fragrance ingredients
than any other method. The chemicals employed in making AQ1200 fragrances are fully compliant with
the most restrictive air-quality and inhalation standards. AQ1200 generates no harmful VOCs and uses no
ethanol or propellants. Quite simply, used as directed, AQ1200 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.
