Single-phase electric air washer AW 20 S - TROTEC
Better protected health through multiple improvements in ambient air quality
Breathing humidified and purified air is vital energy and an additional shield against airborne diseases.
In a single cubic centimeter of air, there can be up to 50,000 floating particles: fine dust, pollen, bacteria, or aerosol particles carrying viruses such as influenza or Covid-19. Since we breathe 8,000 liters of air daily, 80% of which is indoors, the AW 20 S air washer provides enhanced protection against these pathogens.
Protects against viruses, increases well-being and prevents allergic symptoms
The AW 20 S air washer improves air quality in rooms up to 55 m² or 138 m³, thanks to its air flow rate of 228 m³/h adjustable across 3 ventilation levels.
Unlike traditional purifiers that dry out the air in winter, the AW 20 S purifies and humidifies while maintaining perfect hygiene. Inhaled particles are bound by a water film and washed in the 9-liter reservoir through the rotation of humidifying discs. The high-performance three-stage filtration, with its two premium HEPA filters (retention rate 97.97%), eliminates particles down to 0.3 µm (viruses, bacteria, pollen, dust mite excrement, mold spores). Plasma ionization completes the process by eliminating tobacco, food, or pet odors.
Breathe deeply and freely – air without pollutants, viruses, and allergens
The combined air washing and double HEPA filtration virtually eliminates all irritating substances that can cause allergic reactions in the bronchi, eyes, or nose. Combined with air washing, humidification reduces airborne viral transmission, strengthens natural defenses, and improves the feeling of well-being.
The best air quality for your best moments together
The AW 20 S air washer perfectly equips you to protect your family, colleagues, customers, or guests by maintaining air pollution at a health-promoting level.
An intelligent combined sensor automatically measures ambient air parameters and drives the necessary intensity of purification and humidification in automatic mode. The integrated 9-liter reservoir, with permanent level measurement, allows humidification for up to 24 hours. Cleaning the discs is simply done in the dishwasher. Nine operating modes, three-level fan, and other comfort functions allow air quality to be adapted to individual needs.
Everything that improves the air to enjoy life more healthily
Air quality depends on multiple factors. That is why the AW 20 S air washer integrates humidification, HEPA purification, and odor elimination, individually activatable according to the situation and season.
3 levels of air purification and odor elimination
A multi-level system eliminates viruses, bacteria, pollen, dust mite excrement, mold spores, dust, and floating particles:
Step 1: the pre-filter extracts coarse particlesStep 2: the HEPA filter (97.97%) and water bath washing remove particles down to 0.3 µmStep 3: the plasma ionizer eliminates floating pollutants and unpleasant odors
Air humidification with optional HEPA cleaning
The "humidification" mode (capacity 750 ml/h) operates with or without HEPA purification. Purification can also be activated separately, without humidification. Natural cold evaporation humidification, without filter mats, avoids white dust and wet zones from ultrasonic humidifiers. Excess humidity is excluded. The "comfort" indicator displays ambient humidity (20-60%) and automatically deactivates humidification at 50% relative humidity.
A fully comfortable automatic mode
Trust the sensor-driven automatic mode to optimize air quality. An intelligent sensor continuously measures air quality and humidity to maintain them in the optimal zone without intervention. A triple light signal informs about current air quality.
A fully restful night mode
In night mode, the AW 20 S works particularly quietly, releases air from pollutants while maintaining an ideal humidity level through self-regulated cold evaporation. Skin, nose, and eyes are not dried out for restorative sleep.
The triple principle of air washing: cleaning, humidification, odor neutralization
The combination of three cleaning processes and multiple filtration stages makes the AW 20 S air washer the leader in its category.
First process: air washing as in nature
Stale ambient air is purified naturally, without chemicals. The device draws in charged air, passes it through a pre-filter then through a humidifying disc where a liquid film captures impurities. Pollen and dust stick to the wet disc, then are washed in the water bath. Positive side effect: the air is automatically humidified, significantly improving the ambient climate and well-being.
Second process: double HEPA filtration
Two HEPA filters eliminate 97.97% of viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold spores, pollen, dust, and pollutants down to 0.3 µm.
Third process: plasma ionization
Switchable plasma ionization generates positive (hydrogen) and negative (oxygen) ions blown into the room with the cleaned and humidified air. These "ionized clusters" extract water from pollutants upon contact, eliminating odors and contaminants.
Optimally humidified ambient air protects against viruses and pathogens
Scientific studies demonstrate that optimal quality air provides twice as much protection against infections. Pathogenic viruses (influenza, covid-19) are exhaled via aerosols and float for several hours if the room is not sufficiently ventilated.
When relative humidity is between 40 and 60%, airborne viruses are inactivated within seconds
The infectivity of aerosols depends on relative humidity. If the air is too dry, aerosols shrink, float longer, and are easily inhaled. At optimal humidity, the salt concentration in particles modifies the pathogens, rendering them harmless upon contact with air.
Ideally humidified mucous membranes represent the best natural protection against pathogenic germs
The body has defense mechanisms: the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract (mouth, nose, throat) constitute a central element of immunity, very effective against pathogens provided they are optimally humidified. Air that is too dry extracts water from the mucous membranes, hardening the protective layer and allowing infectious agents to pass freely.
Raising relative humidity to around 50% directly minimizes the risk of transmission by floating pathogens, in both private and professional settings.
