Chapter 1 – Air Cleaning Systems and Indoor Air Quality
1.1 Improving Indoor Air Quality
Air cleaning can play an important role when it comes to improving indoor air quality. However, it should be noted
that air cleaning should be used in conjunction with pollution source control and ventilation, wherever possible.
Strategy to improve indoor air quality
To tackle any indoor air quality problem, keep the following three-step strategy in mind:
1. Eliminate or reduce the air pollution source as much as possible.Source control is by far the most effective way to
improve indoor air quality, since it sets out to deal with air pollution at the point of origin.
2. Ensure that sufficient fresh air is entering the room from outside. Air cleaners are not a substitution for sufficient
ventilation. They are not able to reverse the conversion of oxygen (O2) into carbon dioxide (CO2), caused by
breathing and combustion processes.
3. Ensure the QAir® system can clean enough air to cope with your room size.The actual hourly air volume cleaned
by the system should be at least double the air volume of your room. f the rate at which pollutants enter the room
air is high or the indoor air quality requirements are stringent, the hourly air delivery of the system needs to
exceed the room air volume several times.To achieve that level of air turnover,it may be necessary to employ more
than one system.
Air Cleaning Results
Although air cleaners may be advertised and sold to be suitable for use in specific indoor environments and to deal
with specific indoor air quality problems, the manufacturer and distributors make no claim as to the specific air
cleaning results that are achieved under the user’s individual operating conditions.The air quality improvements that
can be realized with the QAir® system (as with any air cleaner) in indoor environments depends to a significant
degree on circumstantial factors, which are out of the control of the manufacturer or distributors. mportant factors
which will influence the air quality improvements that can be achieved in an indoor environment with an air cleaner
include:
•Type of air pollutants present
•ntensity of the pollutant source(s)
•Pollutant concentration
•Size of the indoor environment (room size)
•Operating speed of the unit
•Number of air cleaners placed in the indoor environment
•Saturation state of the filters in the air cleaner
Consult a qualified specialist to determine an effective and comprehensive indoor air quality strategy.

moving it over thresholds or other obstacles to avoid
breakage.
The Mobility Caster kit consists of:
1. mounting rail (x 2)
2. casters (x 4)
For installation simply follow the below instructions:

Turn the device upside down on a soft and clean
surface.
Place the mounting rail on the purifier’s base so that
the holes line up with the black connector pins on the
base.The cut-ins should face the center of the unit.
Press down until the mounting rail snaps into place.
Repeat with second rail.
Place the caster onto caster pin.
Press on caster, until it snaps into place. Repeat steps
4 and 5 with the remaining casters.
Ensure that each caster is securely fitted before

2.3 Choosing a Suitable ocation
When choosing a suitable location for the QAir
system, keep the following considerations in
mind:
•Choosing the most suitable room for the
system will depend on where you would
like the focus of the air cleaning efforts.Two
main considerations are the time you spend
in a particular room and the location of the
main air pollution sources.As a general rule,
the closer the system is located to the air
pollution source, the better the air cleaning
performance in the room.
Although an air cleaning result may be
achieved in adjacent rooms, the main air
cleaning will take place in the room where
the system is located. For the best air
cleaning results in adjacent rooms, make
sure that doors to these rooms are left wide
open.
•For best performance, the system should be positioned at least 30 cm (1 foot) away from the nearest vertical
surface, such as a wall or a cupboard. n general, the more centrally the system is positioned, the better the
performance.
•Position the system close to a power outlet and make sure that the power cable is positioned in a way that it does
not present an obstacle that could be tripped over.
•Make sure that the system is positioned in such a way that the control panel is easily accessible.
2.4 Connecting to Power
1. Plug the connector end of the power cord into the recessed power inlet socket on the back of the system.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip.
Important: The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord.
Do not use the IQAir® system when the power cord becomes damaged.The power cord may be replaced with an
approved cord with a two-pole plug.These power cords are commonly used for computers and similar appliances.

3.1 Description of Housing Components
The QAir® system features a modular tower design in which all important filtration and air moving components are
positioned vertically in-line, i.e. stacked on top of another. Air is drawn into the system at the base, and passes
through several filter stages to be returned to the room via the diffuser on top of the system.The housing modules
are held together by two locking arms.
•The base with its arched design features air intake openings on two sides.
•The PreMaxTM filter module consists of frame 1 and the PreMaxTM filter which is fixed inside the frame by four
filter clamps.
•The fan assembly comprises two housing modules with the centrifugal fan inside.
•The HyperHEPA® filter module consists of frame 2 and the HyperHEPA® filter.
•The EvenFlow™ diffuser features the omni-directional air outlet openings.
•The handle on top of the diffuser is designed for carrying the QAir® system.
•The locking arms hold the housing elements together. When opened, the locking arms allow easy access to
all filters.

1. Room air is drawn into the system via two arched
openings at the base.
2. The air is drawn in through the PreMaxTM filter that
already removes most pollution particles, thus
extending the life of the subsequent filter.
3. At the heart of the system, sandwiched between the
filters,is a powerful cen-trifugal fan which generates the
airflow.
4. The air is pushed through several square meters of
tightly pleated HyperHEPA® filter media that removes
even the tiniest particles.
5. Low turbulence, low velocity air is returned to the
room via the EvenFlow™ diffuser.
