Awesome Air® was developed to work in conjunction with existing air
conditioning systems, in the commercial/industrial marketplace. When
properly maintained, Awesome Air® Filters
never wear out and never need to be replaced.
How does it work? When excess moisture is removed from the air, less
energy is needed to lower temperatures for cooling. The Awesome Air®
Filter also does away with the need to super cool the air, which
is how many air conditioning systems work. The Awesome Air® Filter serves
as an excellent backup to conventional air conditioning systems, reducing
the energy needed to achieve the desired cooling level.
The Florida Solar Energy Center, located in Cocoa, Florida, has written that
"Research has found that desiccants can reduce energy costs by as much as 50
percent and can allow many facilities to use much less equipment than
otherwise needed." A national drug store chain reduced their compressor
runtime by 28% and is adding millions to the bottom line by using Awesome
Air filters.
As for indoor air quality, air flowing through and across the Awesome
Air® Filter removes airborne particulates and reduces some airborne
diseases. Microbial air pollutants can become a problem when excess
moisture accumulates in ventilating systems or occupied spaces, resulting
in an environment conducive to bacterial growth.
This indoor air pollution has been called "Sick Building Syndrome." The
syndrome causes headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, respiratory
irritation and burning eyes. It has been reported that 3.5 million
workdays are lost due to allergies annually.
Energy Conservation
Awesome Air® is a desiccant filter system that works in conjunction with
existing air conditioners. It saves electricity in two ways.
First, air conditioning systems (especially the high efficiency ones)
cycle on and off so quickly that little moisture is removed from the air.
By adding a desiccant filter system, dry air is being fed into the system.
The system won't cycle on and off as often, making your air conditioner an
energy savings device.
Second, when excess moisture is removed from the air, the air feels cooler.
As a result, the thermostat can be moved up. In the average business, the
thermostat can be moved up 3 degrees. TXU, a large Texas power company says
that for every degree you raise the thermostat, you save 7% on energy costs.
This means the average business can save 21% by just moving up the thermostat.
Better Indoor Air Quality
The EPA and others agree that excess moisture is the cause of microbial
growth, pollution, mold and even "Sick Building Syndrome." The key to
controlling these problems is to control moisture. The advantage in using
desiccants to collect the moisture is that they also collect indoor
pollutants from the air at the same time. By removing excess moisture,
the temperature, the comfort level, even the safety level of the
environment is improved.
Mold Prevention
Molds produce allergens, irritants and in some cases, toxins. Molds are
everywhere and can grow on nearly any organic substance as long as moisture
is present. When mold spores land on a damp surface, they can begin growing
and digesting the surface in order to survive. Excess moisture problems may
be coming from the air conditioner that isn't taking enough moisture out of
the air. During periods of high humidity, some people even turn their air
conditioners off. When the system is turned off, a buildup of moisture
quickly begins. Always adjust thermostats upwards when a building is not
occupied, instead of turning the system off. Then, always use Awesome
Air® to remove the excess moisture and the cause of mold.
Awesome Air® in Your Business Will Help Stop:
Condensation
Excess condensation occurs when humidity levels become excessive.
Condensation can cause slippery, hazardous working conditions and detract
from your product's appearance. Awesome Air® will reduce the levels of
excess humidity and eliminate condensation.
Corrosion
When humidity levels exceed 50%, the conditions are present to induce rust
and corrosion on metal surfaces. Awesome Air works to reduce your
humidity level which will avoid the unsightly corrosion of your expensive
furnishings and prolong the life of your equipment.
Mold & Mildew
Relative Humidity is often in and above the 70% range. Humidity levels
this high provide the ideal environment for the formation of mold spores
and mildews. By naturally reducing the moisture content in your building's
air, Awesome Air will provide your business with a climate free of
moisture-borne allergens, mold and mildews. The results are safer,
healthier air, energy savings, less maintenance and improved comfort.
