 Focused Solutions for Global Applications
A good indoor air quality is good for your
business.
The main task of modern indoor air
ventilation management system is to remove
contaminated air and replace it with clean and
healthy air. Compared with a simple ventilation
system it also has to ensure the air is free from
micro-organisms.
Investment in a good indoor air in workplaces,
commercial facilities and delicate environments
is always profitable, since it improves greater
comfort, productivity and gives the occupants
a sense of well being. Regardless of the level
of the air ventilation system you choose, the
investment will soon pay for itself.

Safe & Hygienic Environments
ASPIRO™ poses no risk to equipment,
furnishings or the occupants. Its germicidal
UVC system is safe and engineered for
99% killrate of microorganisms without
producing the harmful ozone or other
secondary contamination.
Eliminate Costly Coil Cleaning
By keeping coils and drain pans clean
and odor-free, ASPIRO™ also reduces
or eliminates costly coil, drain pan and
plenum-cleaning programs. Maintenance
crews are also no longer exposed to
the biological agents and other cleaning
chemicals required for
these tasks.
In addition, coil and drain pans no longer
seed the system with mold or bacteria,
so ducts and occupied spaces also
stay clean, germ free and odors. When
combined energy and maintenance
savings are taken into account, ASPIRO™
IAQC system will typically pay for itself
within 6 - 9 months.
Helping Industry to Save Cost
Though originally developed for
IAQ control, ASPIRO™ application
methodology also provides valued-added
benefits of energy efficiency, and simplied
maintenance.
The UVC system at the pre-coil is
designed to eliminate the bio-film (dirt)
that fouls the surface heat transfer by
completely cleaning and continuously
maintaining the coils and drain pans to “as
new” condition.
This phenomenon can bring significant
improvement in coil heat-transfer
efficiency, pressure drop, and subsequent
lower fan rpm. The end benefit is a big
reduction in power consumption. Many
commercial and industrial infrastructures
operators estimate that ASPIRO™ can
yield 25-30% reduction in their total HVAC
system energy usage.

 Design Engineering
The key element of the Integrated Induced Ventilation System is the ability to secure the best overall performance of
the system as a whole, considering parameters such as health & air quality, energy efficiency, noise, fire safety, easy of
installation and maintenance. The innovative ventilation system utilizes proprietary processes together with patented
technology to achieve the highest hygienic demands, cleanliness levels and germfree environments.
A typical system includes the provision of main extract fans, supply fans (if required), photocatalytic aluminum filters,
germicidal UVC, electro-dynamic carbon processor, and the control equipment. This enables the system to be designed
around the specific requirements of the indoor conditions and ensures the system operates as designed.
PURIFICATION
The air cleaning process utilizes the latest technology in design and
efficiency to achieve particulate removal and gas cleaning. The purification
efficiency of the system is up to 95%. The prefilter electrostatic aluminum
media removes larger dust particles. The second stage, photocatalytic
aluminum filter removes submicron particles from the air stream by
interception. The photocatalytic aluminum filter intercepts and retains
these small particles, gas, odorous vapors and allergens.
In combination with the UVC system, the dirty particles captured on the
filters will be irradiated and pulverized. This action ensures the filters do
not clog and become breeding ground for germs.
STERILIZATION
The germicidal UVC system is at the heart of the clean air system. The
UVGI system kills the bio aerosols such as airborne viruses, bacteria,
fungus and molds. The concentrated level of ultraviolet energy penetrates
the cell wall and destroys the DNA of the microbial aerosols. Results of
studies proved a 90-99% kill rate of viruses and contagious bacteria.
The germicidal effect to the system also contributes to moisture control.
This reduction of relative humidity in the indoor air will dramatically result
in the source control of fungal and bacterial contamination.
SANATATION
A patented electrophoresis process is employed in the system to dilute
the carbon dioxide and replenish the oxygen. Operated through the
electrodynamics carbon processor to generate low ionic electrolyte and
connect to the photocatalytic aluminum filter as the separation medium, the
carbon dioxide in the air stream is transiently separated and characterized
to carbon, releasing the oxygen to the conditioned space.
The process of sanatation restores vitality to the indoor air which stimulates
the reticulo-endothelial system (group of defense cells) in our body to
marshall resistance to infection.

system to create hygienic ventilation and comfort in the kitchen.
Food Service & Hospitality Industries
Although the first emphasis on air quality in the food service and
hospitality industries was based on controlling tobacco smoke, more
and more operators are looking at air quality as a means of differentiating
themselves from their competition. In food service and hospitality,
the control of tobacco smoke and other airborne pollutants to make
the environment more enjoyable for the customers is a worthwhile
investment. ASPIRO™ Integrated Induced Ventilation System removes
dangerous airborne particles including odors, VOCs, smoke, bacteria,
allergens and mold without producing any harmful ozone. ASPIRO™
Integrated Induced Ventilation System works in conjunction with the
existing HVAC systems to clean the contaminated indoor air before it
recalculate to the environment, reducing energy costs by not having
to exhaust conditioned air to the outside. ASPIRO™ has the flexibility
to adapt to customer related requirements.
Toilets & Baths
Toilets and bathrooms are a constant problem, whether it’s unpleasant
odors or unsightly mold and mildew. One of the most common methods
of toilet/bathroom ventilation is the exhaust fan. This is a form of spot
ventilation as it only flushes the stale air over to the roof space or
outdoors. The moisture, odors and particles from the stale air can
condense and accumulate in the ducting or within the roof. Furthermore,
the unfiltered venting of toilet/bathroom exhaust whether to the outside
which cause environmental degration or if to the roof will gives rise to
humid air which encourage the manifestation of bacteria, mold and
mildew and spreading through the premises. ASPIRO™ Integrated
Induced Ventilation System is the myriad of air treatments and provide
the most complete form of ventilation for toilets and baths. ASPIRO™
Integrated Induced Ventilation System not only eliminate the particles,
fug, odors from the air but kill airborne allergens mold spores, bacteria,
and viruses. ASPIRO™ Integrated Induced Ventilation System may
be incorporated as a recovery ventilator where the clean exhaust
air is retain as supplement ventilation, saving on cooling energy and
minimal maintenance.
 Applications After Markets and Services

Commercial Applications
All modern buildings are equipped with HVAC systems, as most
people now spend most of their time indoor. The problem, however, is
that the crucial part of these systems, air supply systems, are hardly
ever serviced - despite the fact that it is widely recognized that poor
air quality can cause a variety of allergy symptoms and SBS. And as
if that was not enough, over 50% of the fires in public buildings also
result from lack of maintenance.
ASPIRO™ Integrated Induced Ventilation System through the leading
edge technology increase productivity by creating the right comfort
and healthy indoor environment for the people within the building. At
the same time, ASPIRO™ Integrated Induced Ventilation System is
designed to sustain optimal performance by utilizing resources more
effectively to minimize energy requirements and reduce environmental
impact throughout its life cycle.
