Air Purification Technology
Advanced Collector System (ACS)
Having the ability to exert control over particles in the breathing zone is one of the most critical aspects of any filtration system being employed by an airport, casino, commercial building, hospital, healthcare clinic, laboratory, sports arena, vivarium or any other building concerned with Indoor Air Quality.
The problem with today’s typical filtration systems is that the critical particles that can have a negative effect on the health of human beings never actually get to the systems filtration banks! This is a common and misunderstood fact about filtration systems. Unfortunately, the market has provided devices that are mostly substandard and only partially deliver the performance and benefits that are advertised.
SecureAire’s Advanced Collector System is today’s most advanced Electronically Enhanced Air Purification System for all markets. The ACS utilizes semiconductor airborne contamination reduction technologies to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of SecureAire’s filtration media, while providing Active Particle Control, which helps to actually clean the particles from an indoor space. The ACS System also provides airborne pathogen inactivation thru our INACTIVATE™ Technology. INACTIVATE reduces organism’s ability to grow and provides the necessary voltage strength to oxidize and kill airborne pathogens.
As previously mentioned, “the ACS is the only system” that utilizes Active Particle Control, which actually controls the movement of particles in a space. This Technology provides the ability to treat all airborne challenges (Particles, TVOC’s, Smoke, Odors and dissolved gases) the same.
Active Particle Control provides the ability to make airflow the dominant transport mechanism for airborne pathogens and contaminants in any space.
Features

General Operating Room Ceiling Systems
Precision Air Products [PAP] niche is the Operating Room or anywhere laminar flow is critical to the success of your project. PAP understands that a quality ceiling system goes beyond what you see from the room. It's the integrity of the diffusers, the quality of the components, the characteristics of the air, and your control of potentially harmful particulate.
From general operating rooms, imaging spaces, hybrid OR's and high-risk operating spaces PAP has solutions. PAP's value is that they know critical healthcare applications better than anyone - and we're willing to support you every step of the way! Their No-Fee Engineering Assist will get you the compliant design that you desire... no matter how complicated the ceiling!
Remember, the diffuser matters. You can't judge a diffuser by its face, and submittals reveal precious little about their construction. Take a closer look and you'll see striking differences. Why does the diffuser matter? Monolithic ceilings create important barriers intended to prevent potentially dangerous contaminants from entering an operating room from interstitial space. Some diffuser designs violate the integrity of the monolithic ceiling, creating pathways that can expose surgical patients to unnecessary risks. Furthermore, some HEPA diffusers are constructed in a manner that can result in filter bypass, allowing unfiltered supply air to enter an operating room directly above the surgical patient.
The Lami-Air family of integrated ceiling ventilation systems goes beyond industry standards and guidelines - and for good reason. Standards and guidelines represent minimum requirements, but surgical patients deserve more. Leverage our expertise and let our No-Fee Engineering Assistance simplify your project.
PAP's systems combine laminar or HEPA diffusers with a robust, gasketed framing system that forms a single-assembly in the ceiling. Framed openings accommodate general OR lay-in light fixtures. Fill-in panels complete the aesthetic. Functional, compliant ceiling systems that "look like they were meant to be there".
HEPA Filtered Laminar Flow Diffusers

Furthermore, some HEPA diffusers are constructed in a manner that can result in filter bypass, allowing unfiltered supply air to enter an operating room directly above the surgical patient. The HEPA-Vent DS point of delivery HEPA unit offers important safeguards for surgical patients. A unique dual knife-edge coupled with the shortest Critical Seam Length on the market, provides multiple protections focused on improving patient outcomes. The HEPA-Vent DS is a dual chamber diffuser with a dual knife-edge. The upper chamber, or pressure chamber, of the HEPA-Vent DS houses the Camfil-Farr Megalam® HEPA filter. The 0.063” thick plenum is stamped, and then fabricated with fully welded corners. The plenum box forms one of the knife-edges. The second knife-edge is formed by the faceplate extrusion. This design eliminates any potential for filter bypass while acting as an added protection against interstitial pathways. Combined, the HEPA-Vent DS creates the highest integrity HEPA diffuser on the market. Protection against Interstitial Pathways Critical Seam Length is the total amount of mating surface within a HEPA diffuser that must be caulked or sealed. Some competitive HEPA diffusers have more than 18 lineal feet of caulking as their primary seal between their split plenum box and interstitial space. Caulking can lose its adhesion over time and with handling. In some cases the caulking can fail before the diffuser is even installed. |

Laminar Flow Diffusers
| The Diffuser Matters | |
| You can't judge a diffuser by its face, and submittals reveal precious little about their construction. Take a closer look and you'll see striking differences. Why does the diffuser matter? Monolithic ceilings create important barriers intended to prevent potentially dangerous contaminants from entering an operating room from interstitial space. Some diffuser designs violate the integrity of the monolithic ceiling, creating pathways that can expose surgical patients to unnecessary risks. Furthermore, some HEPA diffusers are constructed in a manner that can result in filter bypass, allowing unfiltered supply air to enter an operating room directly above the surgical patient. Why does the diffuser matter? In an operating room it gets very real very quick. Contaminated air entering an OR above the operating theater can put a surgical patient at risk. Lower cost, split-plenum box diffusers often create dangerous pathways between interstitial space and the OR. Contaminants from interstitial space can be drawn into such diffusers where they mix with clean air and are delivered into an OR directly above the surgical patient. Furthermore, some single chamber diffuser designs do little to characterize air flow. This can lead to turbulence, aspiration, and particle entrainment that can similarly put a surgical patient at risk. Design and construction of the Lami-Vent Laminar Diffuser minimizes the potential for pathways and eliminates the possibility of aspiration. The Lami-Vent™ is a true dual chamber laminar diffuser. Its construction, performance, and appearance earned a position as Basis-of-Design for Master Specifications throughout the United States. The Lami-Vent™ sustains the reputation for "best-in-class" construction, performance, and aesthetics. This diffuser has offered un-matched value since its introduction in 1974. |
MRI Spaces
Airtelligence, Inc. represents manufacturers which build solutions for both air distribution and O2 depletion monitoring for use in these spaces.
In today’s MRI units, superconducting magnets are the most commonly used type of magnets. Their construction is similar to that of a resistive magnet—a current of electricity is passed through coils or windings of wire—to create the required magnetic field. The wire is continually bathed in a plumbing labyrinth of liquid helium that is maintained at 452.4 degrees below zero. This extreme cold drops the wire’s resistance to zero, reducing the electrical requirements for the system, making it much more economical to operate. The other main component of an MRI system is a very powerful computer system that enables the transmission of RF (radio frequency) pulses into the patient's body while they are in the scanner.
The large quantity of helium required to maintain the magnet’s operating temperature creates a critical safety concern. A helium leak can cause an oxygen-deficient atmosphere that can place the patient at risk. At times, MRI patients are sedated and are unable to signal any potential problem to the MRI operator. In addition, early detection of oxygen deficiency caused by a helium leak can offer protection to the MRI unit itself by signaling a shutdown event.
Airtelligence, Inc. solution is unique and economical which offers fast, reliable protection from the hazards of oxygen defiency caused by helium coolant leaks.
The Toxgard II Monitor incorporates a sample draw pump system that uses no metal components near or inside the actual MRI room, eliminating RF interference from the MRI system. The Toxgard II Monitor is mounted in the operator’s office for almost instantaneous notification of a leak via the local audible alarm and flashing LED display.Pandemic Response - Airflow and Pressure Controls
