Fresh-Aire UV Residential Germicidal UV Light

What is APCO™?

The Fresh-Aire APCO™ is a patent-pending Absorptive Photocatalytic Oxidation device designed to help sanitize the air and reduce V.O.C. contamination from your indoor environment.

How APCO™ Works

1. The APCO™ unit is installed in your air duct system of your central air handler.

APCO™ uses a propriety absorption media to capture VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) then reduces the captured constituents through an innovative photo-catalytic oxidation process which breaks them down into elemental carbon dioxide and water vapor.

2. As odors and chemical contaminates circulate through your air handling system, the APCO™ unit utilizes a highly absorptive carbon monolithic media which captures these contaminates removing them from the air stream, much like a sponge absorbs water.

3. During the off cycles of the air handling system, the APCO’s self regenerating photo-catalytic process breaks down the captured contaminates and frees up the carbon monolithic cell to be able to capture additional airborne VOCs and odors.

4. In addition to the APCO™ units ability to absorb airborne VOCs, the UV light plays an important role in disinfecting and deodorizing your indoor air of any bacteria, viruses and allergens, reducing indoor air related allergies and illness. Plus the UV light helps to maintain the cleanliness of your air handling system by shining on the ductwork, cooling coils, heat strips and blowers that are prone to have mold growth.

Toxic Chemicals & Odors In Your Home
		Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can make the air in your home smell bad and can be harmful to your health. There are thousands of different VOCs produced and used in our daily lives including toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, and acetone. The Solution is APCO™... Common Sources of VOCs Include: • Building Materials • Carpets & adhesives • Upholstery fabrics • Vinyl Floors • Composite wood products • Paints & Varnishes • Sealing caulks & Glues • Carpet cleaning solvent • Home and Personal Care Products • Air fresheners • Air cleaners that produce ozone • Cleaning & disinfecting chemicals • Cosmetics • Smoking & fireplaces • Fuel oil & gasoline • Moth balls • Vehicle exhaust from an attached garage

The Science of Clean Air
Recent studies have shown that the level of invisible airborne organic chemical and odor contaminates in our indoor air is generally two to five times higher than the levels found outdoors. While some of these substances merely smell bad others can be extremely harmful. These contaminates, known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. The unique air cleaning technology inside APCO eliminates VOCs making your home a safer and more pleasant place to live.
