The GC Series air purifier is compact and customized for specific gaseous contaminants and odors. Just like a professional gas mask, IQAir maximizes filter efficiency for different gases and odors by offering customized filter cartridges -- just choose the correct formula for your need. And while gas and odor control is a particular strength of these systems, the GC Series also offers excellent filtration efficiency for particles.
How It Works
Gas Cartridge Technology The GC Series uses four reusable filter cartridges to hold up to 17 lbs. of gas phase media. The cylindrical shape of these cartridges allows for optimum contact between the air and gas phase media, which ensure high removal efficiencies. The large surface area of the cartridges enables high air flow rates. Since IQAir gas filter cartridges are reusable, replacing them is not only economical, but also environmentally friendly.
High-Efficiency Particulate Filtration The particulate filtration GC units complements the gaseous filtration process by removing over 97% of particles before they can reach the gas phase media. This increases the efficiency and life of the media by preventing its pores from clogging. The GC units' overall filtration efficiency for particles is 97% at .3 microns. The post filter is electrostatically charged to trap particulate pollutants and microorganisms (bacteria and viruses).

Ultra-Quiet
Design
With its large fan motor, the IQ Air Multigas
system produces more clean air with less noise than conventional air
cleaners.
Unlike most air cleaners, which have the fan motor located after all filter
stages, IQ Air systems have the fan in the center, in-between its noise absorbing
filters.
All systems also feature a unique double-walled housing design to reduce sound
transmission.
Eight shock absorbers, which hold the fan ensure that vibration isn't transmitted
to the housing.
The results are impressive. IQ Air systems are suitable for even the most noise
sensitive environments and are virtually inaudible at the lowest fan speed
setting.
In addition, with the timer control function, the unit
can be programmed to turn on only after a person has reached a deep
slumber state.
Advanced
Controls
Intelligent Filter Life Monitor
Ordinary air cleaners have you guess when to replace filters
or use a preset timer. The intelligent filter life monitor takes actual
use, speed settings and air quality conditions into account. This ensures
maximum filter yield and performance from your IQ Air system.

Up to Six Fan Speed Settings
Most air cleaners provide only two or three fan speed
settings. You have to run the unit either on a quiet but ineffective
fan speed, or choose a more powerful, but noisy speed. Multi-gas
purifiers give you the choice of up to six fan speeds, allowing you
to select the ideal performance-to-sound ratio.
Integrated Timer
Each
air cleaner can be programmed to run automatically. Set the unit to
run during office hours or program it in your bedroom to go on after
you have reached deep slumber.
Remote Control
Each system comes with a remote control which allows
you to turn the unit on and off, select the fan speed and activate
the timer.
Certified
Performance
In
an industry where most air cleaners don't actually meet their manufacturers'
claims, IQ Air tests and certifies each and every system. In our Swiss
production facility, each unit is tested for particle filtration efficiency,
filter leakage and air delivery. Each unit is issued with its very
own two-page Certificate of Performance, detailing the test results
for that very machine.
Easy
to Use & Quality Filters
Filter
Replacement
IQ Air systems feature a revolutionary modular tower design, which snaps open
to allow access to all filters in a matter of seconds.
Long
Filter Life
The filters are designed to last longer than those
in conventional air cleaners.
High-Efficiency Pre-Filtration
While most air cleaners use pre-filters with particle
efficiencies well below 20%, IQ Air systems typically retain over 90%
of particle mass in the pre-filter. As a result, the gas phase
filters are better protected from premature loading.
Independent Filter Stages
Conventional air cleaners often combine several filter
types in one filter cartridge. As a result, the whole cartridge has
to be replaced even if only one filter type is used up.
Large Filters
To minimize manufacturing cost, most air cleaners use
very little filter material. IQ Air uses commercial size filters that
are able to collect more pollutants and last longer.
Triple
Seal Design
The efficiency stated for most air cleaners is purely
theoretical. Internal leakage drastically reduces the actual efficiency
of most air cleaners.
IQ Air Multigas systems feature patented triple sealing technology. First,
a unique process ensures that the filter media is 100% sealed in the filter
frame. Second, our patented 3D UltraSeal ensures perfect sealing between filter
frame and housing. Third, individual seals on each housing module ensure an
air tight housing. As a result, these air purifiers have an actual system efficiency
which is higher than the theoretical efficiency of conventional air cleaners.
High-Quality
Fan
These air filters use the highest quality fan motor
available. The centrifugal, backward curved fan has an astonishing
700 cfm (1200 m3/h) rating. Because each fan is individually balanced
and uses steel ball bearings, it outlasts other fans by years.
No-Draft
Design
Most air cleaners return the air through a small outlet,
which creates annoying air drafts. These units are designed to avoid
drafts by evenly returning cleaned air through a large 320° vented
diffuser.
Energy
Efficient
Even though IQ Air purifiers are very
powerful, they are also energy efficient. Outstanding energy efficiency
is achieved with a very efficient fan and an advanced fan control setup.
As a result, it cost only pennies per day to run these units.
Tough
Construction
Many high-end air cleaners are made from sheet metal which dents easily and
where the paint scratches and chips. Many department store air cleaners use
inferior plastics which shatter easily. Built to last and look great for a
lifetime, these units are manufactured from fully cured, high-grade injection
molded ABS. A 3 mm (0.125 inch) housing thickness makes them extremely impact
resistant.
