Purification Products
This Price product is what you would find placed on the floor within a room.
What is the RAP, or Return Air Purifier.
What are some other products you could place on the floor to purify the air?
This is a good application to utilize a purification device.
What is most densely occupied indoor spaces. Why?
Are there other ways to mitigate the spread of airborne contaminants?
These are two types of systems we might see in Operating Rooms.
What are laminar arrays and perimeter systems. How are these different and why?
This is the ASHRAE standard which governs Operating Room design.
What is ASHRAE Standard 170.
Why is it important?
These are the 3 types of valve solutions supplied and supported by Antec Controls.
What are the venturi valve, the high accuracy terminal and the standard terminal.
What are the differences?
These are the overhead air purification products within the Price portfolio.
What are the OAP, CAP and Puraflo. How and why are they different?
This is ASHRAE's stance on air purification.
What is no stance. Why doesn't ASHRAE have a stance? Has there been any research released?
This product is what we often use and leverage in pharmacies and labs.
What is a Fan Filter Unit.
Why are these useful?
This is the type of diffuser allowable above Operating Room tables per ASHRAE 170.
What is laminar diffusers.
How do these work? Where do the returns go?
This is where best to use a venturi valve.
What is in a lab or pharmacy where quick speed of response is required.
Would you use on in an OR? Why or why not?
This is the highest level of filtration available within Price purification products.
What is HEPA filtration. What is the efficiency of a HEPA filter?
Are there higher level filters in the market?
This is how BPI systems function.
What products have you used that utilize BPI?
These type of rooms are the most challenging to design due to pressure relationship requirements.
What are compounding pharmacies, infectious isolation and burn unit rooms.
Why are they so challenging?
This is the amount of allowable CFM per laminar diffuser in Operating rooms.
What is 25-35 CFM/ft^2.
Why is this important?
This is the best location to use a high accuracy terminal.
Where is an operating room exhaust and/or supply.
Why would we use in an OR?
These are the CFM ranges for the RAP product family.
What is 150-600 for the RAP, 85-150 for the RAP mini, and 200-1000 for the RAP1000.
When and where would you use these?
What is UVC, wavelength is 200-280 nm.
What other products you use that utilize UVC?
These are some of the common problems we find designing critical spaces in healthcare facilities.
What are ceiling/wall congestion, pressure relationship and control, overall system sizing due to filtration requirements, and more!
What else?
This is the % coverage of an operating table by a laminar array above as per ASHRAE 170.
What is 70% of the area, 1' extended from the operating table.
Why do we care about this?
This is the biggest difference between a true venturi (Antec VV and Phoenix valve) vs. a high-accuracy terminal (Antec VFX and CRC valve).
What is open loop control without direct airflow feedback and closed loop control with direct airflow feedback.
How is air controlled between the two technologies?
This product has an "isolation room" mode.
What is Price Puraflo.
How does that work?
This is the efficiency rating of a HEPA filter.
What is 99.97% efficacy at 0.3 microns.
What does this mean? Why is this important?
This is the number of air changes required in typical Operating Rooms.
What is 20-25.
When would we need more? Is it possible to design rooms that can "ramp up"?
What is a hybrid OR.
Why are these so complex?
These are the types of pressure/airflow measurement techniques used for lab control valves across the industry (all players, not just Antec).
What are vortex shedding, linear pressure probes, orifice rings, crossflow sensors, thermal dispersion.
Are there others?
