New Aerospace America Pneumatic Air Machine (24x24) Type C
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“Most HEPA air scrubbers run on an electric motor, and that is exactly what you do not want in a space with flammable vapors or combustible dust. The Aeroclean 9169 solves that by running on compressed air. A 1.7 hp air motor drives a 2,000 CFM AMCA rated direct drive blower, so there is no electricity at the machine, and Aerospace America says the unit is spark resistant and conforms to AMCA Standard 99-0401 Type C. Speed is variable from 0 to 2,000 CFM by turning the pressure regulator on the front, which makes it easy to match airflow to the space. Filtration is the familiar three-stage 24 x 24 in setup: a pad pre-filter, a ring filter and a 24 x 24 x 12 in HEPA, so filters are easy to stock. Each unit is DOP tested at the factory. It runs on 100 PSI compressed air, and an inline oiler keeps the air motor lubricated. It is the unit to consider for abatement and remediation work where an electric motor is not acceptable. Confirm your site's hazardous-area requirements before you choose a construction type.”
A compressed-air HEPA air machine with no electric motor
The Aerospace America Aeroclean model 9169 is a variable speed HEPA air filtration machine driven by compressed air instead of an electric motor. Aerospace America says it uses no electricity and is spark resistant, which makes it a strong option where explosive vapors or materials need to be filtered.
A 1.7 hp air motor drives a 2,000 CFM AMCA rated direct drive blower, variable from 0 to 2,000 CFM, through a three-stage 24 x 24 in filter set ending in a 24 x 24 x 12 in HEPA filter. It runs on compressed air at 100 PSI, is DOP tested at the factory, and conforms to AMCA Standard 99-0401 Type C.
