Aerator/Blower A device used to expose air to chemical or mechanical action.
Air Compressor A device which pressurizes ambient air and delivers it through a distribution network which includes pneumatic controls and power tools.
Air Filters, washable and disposable Used to remove particulates from air.
Air Filters, roll type A high capacity prefilter system which provides clean filter media in a vertical or horizontal manner which is either manually or motorized advanced.
Air Filters, Hepa High Efficiency particulate aerosol designed to remove airborne material up to 99.97% efficiency.
Air Conditioner, Built Up A direct expansion system that uses an open compressor to circulate refrigerant. The evaporator and condenser are usually remote of the compressor.
Air Conditioner, Packaged A direct expansion system that uses a hermetic or semi-hermetic compressor to circulate refrigerant. The compressor, evaporator metering device and condenser form one assembly. This can include room and rooftop units.
