PCO Max AirSterilizer™ (Commercial)

TECHNOLOGY

The PCO MAX™ Air Sterilizer is an Active Ionic Photo-Catalytic Air Scrubber. It uses a special ultraviolet light combined with catalytic reactions to create ionically charged airborne oxidizers. These oxidizers actively move through your indoor space to reduce contaminants in the air. At the heart of this system is the patented Spiroplate catalytic chamber. Inside, a specialized full-spectrum lamp reacts with the TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) surface of the Spiroplate to trigger the air cleansing process. This reaction produces multiple active air cleansers, including hydroperoxides, hydroxyls, supercharged oxygen, and oxidizing ions. Unlike standard UVC lights, which wait for air to pass around them, the PCO MAX™ sends these natural cleansers out into your space. They migrate through the indoor air to actively scrub and clean both the air and surfaces. This active approach makes the system especially effective in commercial spaces where air quality challenges are constant. This active ionic PCO air scrubber is well-suited for factories, manufacturing and meat processing plants, airports, churches, shopping malls, and more.  The technology has been tested against the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and other pathogens. This makes it a strong choice for facilities that need reliable protection against airborne threats.

FEATURES

• Active Ionic PCO Air Sterilizing System: Uses photo-catalytic oxidation to generate air-cleansing ions that travel throughout indoor spaces.
• Patented Spiroplate Chamber: Proprietary catalytic chamber design allows for easy airflow while maximizing oxidizer production.
• Versatile Installation Options: Magnetic base allows fast mounting in RTUs, AHUs, air handlers, fan coil units, and packaged units.
• Sure-Grip 4-Magnet Mounting Brackets: Secure mounting system keeps the unit firmly in place during operation.
• Remote Multi-Voltage Auto-Sensing Ballasts: Automatically adapts to different voltage inputs for flexible installation across various electrical systems.
• Watertight Connectors and Lamp Sockets: Protected connections ensure reliable operation even in humid conditions.
• Commercial-Grade Design: Built specifically for spaces challenged by high occupancy and high humidity levels.

BENEFITS

• Produces four ionic air oxidizers that work together to inactivate, cleanse, oxidize, and sterilize indoor air and surfaces.
• Purifies indoor air by actively oxidizing molds, microbials, odors, and VOCs at the source.
• Well-suited for indoor environments with higher humidity and mold growth challenges
• Helps reduce airborne bacteria, viruses, molds, and other microorganisms that can affect occupant health.
• Supports energy efficiency by helping keep HVAC coils and components cleaner for better system performance.
• Active technology reaches areas that standard UV systems cannot, cleaning air and surfaces throughout the entire space.
• Ideal for commercial facilities dealing with high foot traffic, strong odors, or persistent air quality challenges.

MAINTENANCE

The PCO MAX™ features built-in lamp and ballast LED indicators that allow quick visual confirmation of system operation. Technicians can check these indicators during routine HVAC maintenance visits to verify the unit is functioning properly. UV lamps should be inspected periodically and replaced according to manufacturer recommendations to maintain optimal air purification performance.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about the PCO MAX™ Air Sterilizer? Below you will find answers to some of the most common questions from facility managers and HVAC professionals considering this system for their commercial spaces.

• How does the PCO MAX™ differ from standard air filtration systems? Standard filters trap particles as air passes through them. The PCO MAX™ actively sends oxidizers into your space to neutralize contaminants in the air and on surfaces, reaching areas passive systems cannot.
• What types of commercial spaces benefit most from this system? The PCO MAX™ works especially well in high-occupancy buildings, environments with mold challenges, and spaces with persistent odors. Manufacturing plants, meat processing plants, gyms, restaurants, airports, and healthcare facilities will benefit from installing this PCO air scrubber.
• Is the PCO MAX™ difficult to install in existing HVAC systems? No. The magnetic base and versatile mounting options allow for quick installation in many commercial RTUs, AHUs, as well as air handlers and packaged units. For systems over 50 Tons, we offer customable Smart Rack™, which provides fast and professional multi-unit installation.
• Does this system produce ozone? The PCO MAX™ uses photo-catalytic oxidation technology designed to produce beneficial oxidizers like hydroperoxides and hydroxyls. Contact Respicaire directly for specific ozone output specifications.
• Has the technology been tested against viruses? Yes. The PCO MAX™ technology has been tested against coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and other pathogens to verify its effectiveness against airborne threats.
