- Product Description
The IQAir Perfect 16 is a fan-less air filter system is designed to be installed in combination with new or existing air-con or heating HVAC systems. The unique feature of the Perfect 16 system is the very low airflow resistance it has, in spite of the very high filtration efficiency (≥ 95%). In fact, the Perfect 16 offers the closest thing to HEPA-filtration without the very high and detrimental airflow resistance associated with normal HEPA-filter installations in ventilation ducts.
The Perfect 16 is rated a perfect MERV 16, the highest filtration efficiency for removing dust, dust mites, pollens, bacteria, pet allergens, mould spores and other harmful contaminants. With a particle removal of more than 95% for .3 micron (HEPA) and more than 85% for .003 microns (100 x better than HEPA.), this is genuine medical grade indoor air quality.
FFP2 face masks (which offer ≥95% filtration efficiency at 0.3 µm) are a proven protection against SARS-CoV-2. The Perfect 16 (which has over 95% efficiency for particles ≥ 0.3 µm) is also highly effective in capturing viruses.
There are two models, the
- ID 2225 for 665 litres air per sec (l/s) capacity
- ID 2530 for 972 litres air per sec capacity (l/s)
As we sell the P16 units all over Australia, we cannot provide installation services. However, this a straight forward installation
Under the Spec & Downloads section, is the Installation Manual which an installer would use as a guide. There are two factors that first must be established:
- The air volume that your system generates – usually expressed as litres per second (lps or l/s). This will determine the P16 system required.
- That the system's fan can operate independently, so that pure air can be generated without the cooling or heating operating.
The Perfect 16, given its unique filtration performance, is the most economical means of particle air purification available. However, it does not contain any carbon media for the removal of gases, chemicals or fumes - this must be addresses via another model such as the IQAir GC or GCX.
NOTE: Evaporative coolers will not work with the P16.
On 50% usage cycle, P16 filters will last 3 years, replacements currently are $800/$1,100. (All prices include gst and subject to change without notice).
Also note that the unit can be broken down to enable it to be passed through a ceiling manhole.
WARRANTY ISSUES: The Perfect 16 is a simple filtration device, which does not affect the warranty of an HVAC system any more or less than that of another filter. In fact, the Perfect 16 creates less static pressure than many other filters or filtration systems, including those offered by HVAC manufacturers. IQ Air has installed thousands of Perfect 16 systems through hundreds of HVAC installers in the USA and Canada with dozens of different HVAC makes and models. There has never been any issue regarding an HVAC Manufacturer's warranty.
SEMKO TEST report for whole house air purifier
The Perfect 16 is the only whole-house air filtration system that is rated a perfect MERV 16, the highest rating possible. Intertek/ETL SEMKO subjected the Perfect 16 to rigorous testing based on the toughest industry standards and certified it as MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) 16. This independent test report proves that the IQAir Perfect 16 cleans the air with a minimum efficiency of 95% for particles 0.3 microns and larger, and more than 85% of all ultrafine particles down to 0.003 microns, the smallest particles that exist.
It shows that the Perfect 16 can trap up to 96% of virus-sized particles, to help prevent the spread of airborne viruses through ventilation systems. For that reason MERV 16 filters are recommended for use in general surgery as well as hospital inpatient care in medical facilities.
What is the difference between H13 filters and MERV 16?
While a MERV 16 filter captures >95% of particles in the entire size range tested (0.3-10.0 microns), a HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particles with a size of 0.3 microns.
- Product Features
Air is drawn through the return in air conditioning and/or heating systems then immediately passes through the 4 filter panels of the Perfect 16 resulting in 95% removal of particles 0.3 microns and larger, and more than 85% of all ultrafine particles down to 0.003 microns. The Perfect 16 uses no electricity and has one of the lowest air restriction levels in the air filter industry, allowing your HVAC system to operate at peak performance all the time.And it's easy to install - either DIY or ask us to provide an installer in your area.
The Perfect 16 is available in two sizes:
The smaller unit provides for up to 2000m³ an hour or 665 lps (litres per second)
The larger unit provides for up to 3500m³ an hour or 972 lps (litres per second)
