Aerospace America Aeroclean 9160 600EV Air Scrubber – 550 CFM, 1/2 HP, 32 lbs, SKU 9160

Aerospace America Aeroclean 9160 600EV Compact Air Scrubber — 550 CFM Variable Speed

The Aerospace America Aeroclean 9160 is the smallest unit in the Aeroclean product line — 14″ × 19″ × 15″, 32 lbs, aircraft-grade aluminum construction. It delivers variable-speed airflow from 0 to 550 CFM through a quiet centrifugal blower driven by a 1/2 HP motor at 110V, 1.67 amps. A minihelic differential pressure gauge monitors filter load in real time. Xactimate code: AQRS.

Where the 9160 Fits — Compact Spaces and Quiet Environments

At 42 dB on low speed, the 9160 operates near library noise levels — relevant for healthcare facilities, occupied offices, and residential remediation projects where louder equipment would be unacceptable to occupants. The 14″ × 15″ footprint fits through standard doorways and in elevator cabs that larger units cannot enter. The 1.67-amp draw allows multiple units to run on a standard 15-amp circuit without load calculation concerns. For abatement in occupied buildings, this combination of size, weight, and noise performance makes the 9160 the correct choice when the Mighty Mite or Turbo units would be too large or loud.

Minihelic Gauge — Active Filter Monitoring During Remediation

The 0–3″ minihelic differential pressure gauge measures the air pressure differential across the HEPA filter stack. As filters load with particulate, the differential pressure rises. Aerospace America recommends filter replacement when the reading reaches 2.4″ (or 1.9″ with new filters at full speed). Monitoring this gauge allows the operator to change filters on schedule rather than guessing — critical on mold jobs where a clogged HEPA filter reduces containment effectiveness.
