Porta Air™: Portable Cartridge System

Portable Cartridge System

AQE 2000 portable air cleaner

PORTA AIR™ FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

Principles of Operation:

Airborne contaminants enter the Porta Air™ through the hood/arm assembly at a rate of 1100 cubic feet of air per minute (cfm). Heavy particles are propelled downward through the venturi and into the removable clean out trays. Small submicron particles are then trapped within the pleats of the two MERV 15 rated cartridge filters. The cleaned air is then gently diffused out the bottom of the unit. Replace filters when the differential pressure gage indicates that the cartridge filters are dirty.
