General Description and Features of IQAir Cleanroom Series H13 Air Purifiers

The IQAir Cleanroom H13 air purifier is an advanced air cleaning device which offers one of the fastest clean air delivery rates at high speed than other IQAir models. It is suitable for residential, commercial or medical environments, and is especially useful for critical filtration of microorganisms, viruses, and bacteria in infection control units, TB isolation rooms, critical particle control, and use in cleanrooms up to Class 100. This air purifier can be used in homes, hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers, or businesses with a need for optimum microorganism contaminant control in up to 1200 sq. ft.

How does the IQAir Cleanroom H13 air purifier work?
This air purifier uses the same technology as the IQAir Healthpro, and it works this way: it takes in air from the bottom of the unit, the air is passed through the pre-filter, then through the fan, then through the HEPA filter media, and the clean air is vented out of the sides just below the top of the unit.

Benefits of the IQAir Cleanroom H13 air purifier:

  • Decontaminates the air faster - the IQAir Cleanroom H13 unit can decontaminate and filter the air up to 50% faster than the IQAir Healthpro air purifier, so it has a higher clean air delivery rate
  • Provides at least 1.6 air changes per hour - it is best for up to 1200 square feet of space, and can provide a minimum of 1.6 clean room air changes per hour. In 600 square feet, this air purifier provides 3.2 air changes per hour.
  • Long filter life - with the IQAir Cleanroom H13 air purifier set at low speed, the HEPA filter can last up to 4.5 years without being changed, and the pre-filter will last between 1-2 years
  • Professional pre-filtration - each IQAir Cleanroom unit has a high performance pre-filter to remove larger particles. This prolongs the life of the more sensitive HEPA filter
  • Advance controls - these IQAir units have 5 fan speeds to set the air delivery rate, an LCD to show air delivery at each speed, a sophisticated filter life monitoring system to show remaining life of each filter, and an integrated timer and remote control

Reports by consumer experts on the IQAir Cleanroom H13 Air Purifiers
IQAir Cleanroom Series H13 Air Purifier - EXCELLENT
Courtesy of Allergy Buyers Club.com

The IQAir Cleanroom H13 air filter is the most common air cleaner found in European hospitals. It requires the least amount of filter changes needed, especially when set to run on low speed. The company behind this unit is in the hospital clean room business.

Pluses

  • One of the big pluses of the IQair Cleanroom H13 air purifier is its filter life. Set at high speed, the HEPA filter will last an average of 3 years, and the pre-filter will last 1 year. The real beauty is that set at low speed, the HEPA filter can last up to 4.5 years, and the pre-filter between 1-2 years. This is ideal for those who appreciate a low maintenance air purifier.
  • This machine was designed for critical decontamination environments, and is able to filter viruses, bacteria, and allergens faster than other air purifiers
  • As with other IQAir machines, the IQAir H13 model not only excels clean air delivery rates, but the efficiency of the machine that we have personally tested is almost 100% which means that almost all the air that goes through the machine comes out clean.
  • The IQAir Cleanroom H13 is perfect for high recontamination areas, such as a medical or hospital waiting room where the air is constantly being refilled with bacteria and viruses. You would want and need the fastest clean air delivery rate possible to prevent cross-infection.
  • Our consumer panel liked that this IQAir unit is similar to others, since it lets you know when any of the filters need changing. This optimizes cost and safety when it is critically important to provide clean air, but cost efficient to not replace the filter until necessary. Most people are using air filters that have out lived their useful life, but this sophisticated IQAir filter monitoring system takes the guesswork out of knowing when each filter needs replacing.
  • One of the biggest pluses we saw was the quality of the pre-filter in this air purifier is one of the best in the industry. It's not just a piece of foam, but a true filter that catches a large percentage of the small particulates in the air. The big benefit is that the pre-filter protects the filter life of the HEPA filter in the unit.
  • As with other IQAir purifiers, this unit comes with an excellent manual (believe it or not, some manufacturers just don't bother to provide one).

Minuses

  • A top of the line air purifier such as the IQAir Cleanroom H13 is expensive, and perhaps more than most consumers would need in a home environment. But, in critical environments such as when someone is very ill and can't risk cross-contamination from other sources, it is extremely useful.
  • Like all powerful air filters, this air purifier is fairly noisy on high speed, so you probably want to use it on high speed when you are not in the room. However, we understand that there may be some situations in which high speed is always needed for maximum decontamination and clean air quality.
