TECHNOLOGY

The PCO MAX™ Air Sterilizer is an Active Ionic Photo-Catalytic air scrubber designed for commercial Rooftop and Air handler units.  It uses full spectrum UV 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: help provide reliable operationin more humid conditions.
  • Commercial-Grade Design: Built specifically for spaces challenged by high occupancy and more challenging indoor air environments
  • A2L: Compliant for A2L installations

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.  All genuine replacement lamps and parts are available through Respicaire’ s network of stocking HVAC Distributors and Contractors. Contact Respicaire directly if you are unable to locate the parts locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about the Respicaire 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.
  • Does the PCO MAX™ help with HVAC or strong odor problems? Yes. This system is highly effective at treating dirty sock syndrome which is caused by bacteria and mold buildup on evaporator coils. It is also highly effective on other stubborn odors such as food, smoke, animals, manufacturing or other carbon-based odors.( add this paragraph)
  • 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. Multiple units can be used for larger systems. 
  • 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.
