Frequently
Asked Questions
How
do the zeolite minerals keep from becoming saturated with moisture?
Awesome Air works in conjunction with existing air conditioners.
It's not in competition. The air conditioner is removing most
of the moisture. Awesome Air removes the additional moisture remaining
in the air (latent load), giving the air conditioner back the
sensible load. This is how Awesome Air keeps from becoming saturated
with moisture. When the humidity is less than 50%, it releases
moisture back into the air. This is the self drying mechanism.
If heat is turned on in the building, this acts as an additional
drying mechanism. Awesome Air filters are placed in the sun for
8 hours once a year to completely dry out the zeolite minerals.
What is the static pressure of Awesome Air filters?
The static pressure is different for every air conditioning unit
because the amount of the air intake vent that is covered by the
Awesome Air filter is different. The rule is to not cover more
than 50% to 60% of the air intake opening. If this rule is followed,
there's no change in the CFM (cubic feet per minute).
Will Awesome Air always save money on energy costs?
No. If the air conditioning capacity is inadequate for the building,
Awesome Air will not save money on energy costs because the cost
savings are achieved by moving up the thermostat. Air conditioning
capacity is typically calculated assuming 80% building occupancy.
If this is the case and the building is 100% occupied, a lot of
times the occupants will complain that it's not cool enough inside.
Installation of Awesome Air will result in the excess moisture
being removed and the air feeling cooler and the occupants may
say they now feel comfortable. However, since the thermostat wasn't
moved up, very little or no energy savings will be achieved.
