AirGreen Inc. operates as a leading and award-winning clean technology company based in New Castle, Delaware, that designs and manufactures patented liquid-desiccant HVAC and dehumidification systems. Our energy-efficient technology can reduce operating costs by up to 50% while also independently managing temperature and humidity.  One additional feature of this brine-based HVAC technology is that it also scrubs the air it treats and removes a variety of airborne pathogens and microorganisms.

We help facility and hospital administrators, school boards, manufacturing managers, and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) professionals reach robust industrial biosafety standards within their facilities. Proper pathogen control protects both products and occupants in demanding commercial and manufacturing environments.

Liquid-Desiccant Dehumidification and Pathogen Elimination

Conventional commercial HVAC systems rely on below-dewpoint subcooling and reheat cycles to extract moisture. AirGreen eliminates subcooling entirely by utilizing a direct liquid-desiccant moisture removal process.

AirGreen’s core technology relies on a specialized liquid-desiccant brine solution. As process air flows through the conditioner section, the desiccant solution absorbs water vapor while also destroying airborne pathogens on contact. This liquid contact neutralizes mold spores, bacteria, and viruses before contaminants can enter the supply ductwork.

Effective pathogen control serves as the second layer of defense against airborne threats. Microorganisms require damp environments to reproduce and spread. Our systems manage humidity and temperature independently. They keep the indoor relative humidity (RH) tightly regulated between 40% and 60%, or at other levels as required. Removing excess ambient moisture starves mold and bacteria of the water they need to survive.

Facilities also require adequate ventilation to maintain healthy indoor conditions. Our liquid-desiccant technology allows buildings to increase their outdoor air (“fresh air”) intake safely. Bringing in fresh outside air improves overall indoor air quality. Our technology accomplishes this without overloading traditional cooling infrastructure or wasting energy. This balanced approach maintains low Sensible Heat Ratios (SHR) while prioritizing occupant health.

AirGreen’s system Sensible Heat Ratio allows it to operate at SHR levels as low as 25%, which means 75% of its capacity can focus on removing humidity.  Traditional mechanical HVAC systems operate at SHR levels of 70-75%, limiting their capacity to only a quarter of the total load, which often results in increased capacities and equipment costs (CAPEX).

Industrial Biosafety

EHS managers and facility directors face strict indoor air quality requirements to establish industrial biosafety. Healthcare facilities require sterile environments for operating rooms, laboratories, and isolation wards to protect vulnerable patients. Schools and public offices must improve ventilation to reduce the transmission of seasonal illnesses among students and staff. Our liquid-desiccant systems address these exact operational challenges.

AirGreen manufactures dedicated liquid-desiccant systems designed to handle demanding commercial and industrial moisture loads:

    • AG1000.  Removes up to 1,100 pints of moisture per day and is specialized for cold room environments that require dew points below freezing.
    • AG2000. Removes up to 2,200 pints of moisture per day for medium-scale facility requirements.
    • AG3000. Removes up to 3,300 pints of moisture per day for large-scale manufacturing and commercial spaces.
  • Custom Sizes.  Due to its modular designs, AirGreen can assemble a variety of larger units to meet custom moisture loads and floor space conditions to best meet customer requirements.

Deploying these units yields distinct operational benefits across specific commercial sectors:

  • Healthcare and hospitals. Facilities maintain sterile atmospheres in sensitive medical wards while meeting strict health department regulations.
  • Industrial and manufacturing. Pharmaceutical cleanrooms and electronics production floors maintain exact moisture levels to protect sensitive components and product movement.
  • Food and beverage. Processing plants and cold storage areas prevent condensation, mold, and spoilage to protect consumer goods.
  • Indoor agriculture. Growers maintain precise humidity for optimal crop growth and yields without relying on power-hungry traditional dehumidifiers.
  • Commercial spaces. Offices and museums improve ventilation rates to protect historical artifacts and office personnel.

Liquid-desiccant technologies can replace standard sub-dewpoint cooling and reheat methods. This upgrade cuts energy use by up to 50%. This significant reduction in utility costs allows facility managers to prioritize environmental health without incurring large energy-use penalties.
