Wynns Airco-Clean

Wynn's Airo Clean is a concentrated water-based non-toxic solution, formulated to clean, sterilize and deodorize the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) and the vehicles interior.

Wynn's Airo Clean treatment is designed to be used with the Wynn's Aircomatil II machine.

Introduction

Air conditioners are standard equipment on virtually all modern vehicles. Air conditioning systems operate by compressing a refrigerant from a gas into a liquid, which is then cooled as it passes through the radiator. This liquid refrigerant flows through an expansion valve into an evaporator, which allows the liquid to expand and evaporate back into a gas, absorbing heat from the surrounding air, and dramatically lowering the temperature around the evaporator. In the evaporator, the refrigerant flows through thin tubes covered with cooling fins to aid in the heat exchange process, with these tubes and fins becoming very cold as a result of the heat exchange. As the air conditioning system fan blows air through the evaporator, the air is chilled and delivered through vents into the vehicle's interior.

Due to the humidity in the air entering the evaporator, moisture droplets condense on the cooling fins, and due to surface tension, the droplets adhere to the fins. The combination of moisture, cold and darkness provides an ideal medium for the growth of micro-organisms. Every time the air conditioner is used, air blown through the evaporator and into the vehicle's interior carries with it the unpleasant odors associated with the mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria that are present. In addition to the odors associated with micro-organisms in the air conditioning system evaporator, there are many other sources of objectionable odors in the vehicles interior. Sources of these odors include tobacco, spilled food and beverages, and bodily fluids. Odors from such sources may permeate various vehicle surfaces including the carpet, upholstery and headliner. Any source of moisture in the vehicle can also provide a breeding ground for micro-organisms, including moisture from vehicle leaks, and moisture brought into the vehicle on wet shoes or clothes which can also create damp, stale odors.

Advantages

The solution to eliminating objectionable odors originating in the air conditioning and ventilation system is to use Wynn's AIRCOMATIC II machine and Wynn's AIRCOCLEAN. The Wynn's AIRCOMATIC II machine utilizes ultrasonic technology to turn the Wynn's AIRCO-CLEAN product into a fine mist that is carried by the vehicle's circulation system into the evaporator, where it is designed to eliminate the odors resulting from mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria at the source.

In addition to unpleasant odors originating in the air conditioning or ventilation system itself, Wynn's AIRCOMATIC II machine and Wynn's AIRCO-CLEAN are designed to remove objectionable odors from interior vehicle surfaces including carpet, upholstery and headliner. The actual source of such odors might be tobacco, spilled beverages, spilled food or bodily fluids such as sweat. The Wynn's AIRCO-CLEAN mist generated by the Wynn's AIRCOMATIC II machine is carried by the vehicle's ventilation system through the air duct system and into the vehicle's interior where it fills the interior space, coming into contact with the various sources of objectionable odors and helping to eliminate them. This service does not just cover up odors and is not merely an air freshener, but a state-of-the-art ultrasonic service designed to eliminate objectionable odors at their source. The entire service is performed in less than 15 minutes, with the result being a clean and fresh smelling air conditioning system, ventilation system and vehicle interior. Wynn's AIRCOMATIC II machine with Wynn's AIRCO-CLEAN, is also ideal for reconditioning used vehicles.

Key Benefits

• Eliminates micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria, mold and mildew.
• Removes pollen and tobacco residues.
• Eliminates unpleasant odors.
• Prevents allergic reactions.
• Removes dirt from the air-conditioning evaporator.
• Eliminates stale vehicle interior odors in general.
• Provides a fresh and clean smelling interior environment when reconditioning used vehicles.
• Eliminates most odors in the carpeting, upholstery and headliner.

EFFECTIVENESS ON BACTERIA

Lab tests have shown resistance against most gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Test results exist on activity against: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Aspergillus Niger, Penicillium funciculosum, Cladosporium cladosporoides, Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhimurium.

The treatment will effectively kill off any bacteria when applied as a mist using the Wynn's AIRCOMATIC II machine. The product has a working area wherever the air stream takes it, not only in the evaporator but also any ventilation channel and the inside of the vehicle.
