Comparison between conventional refrigerative air conditioning and our airwasher

This table presents the basic differences between our airwasher which naturally humidifies, purifies and cools the air, and conventional air conditioning devices (including window type, split systems and central units).

	Air refrigeration	AirAquality airwasher
Consumption of energy	High - around 1,000 W	Low - around 60 W
Health	Harmful. The dry air irritates the mucous membranes. High recirculation makes the air dirtier.	Beneficial. Clean and humid air provides comfort, especially in people with breathing problems
Cost	High	Medium
Temperature reduction	Regulated by the thermostat	Depends on the relative humidity of the air that is entering in the apparatus.
Air humidity	Drops dramatically	Rises, self limiting to under 90%. If incoming humidity is already high, no humidification occurs.
Recirculation of air recommended for good efficiency	High	None. 100% fresh air intake is recommended
Environment	High energy consumption, uses CCF (fluorine) coolants.	No impact
Maintenance	Complicated and specialized	Simple
