In the quest for optimal indoor air quality, the MAC-700, a revolutionary solution designed to meet the stringent standards set forth by organizations like the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). As experts in HVAC technology, Saturn Enterprises understands the importance of creating spaces that prioritize comfort, health, and overall wellbeing.
ASHRAE Recommendations and Challenges
ASHRAE’s focus on infectious aerosols, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, underscores the critical need for efficient air filtration and purification systems. While ASHRAE provides comprehensive guidelines for new construction projects, addressing the concerns within existing buildings remains a challenge.
Enter the MAC-700, a cutting-edge mobile filtration unit equipped with UV-C lights, designed to enhance air quality without the need for extensive HVAC modifications. Unlike traditional systems, the MAC-700 offers a portable and cost-effective solution tailored to current indoor environments.
Advanced Filtration Technology
At the heart of the MAC-700 lies a sophisticated filtration mechanism. The unit pulls air from all sides, maximizing its capacity to capture dust and biological aerosols. With a MERV 10 pre-filter, UV-C light treatment, and a HEPA filter, the MAC-700 ensures the circulation of purified, near-sterile air within the space.
Efficiency and Safety
The MAC-700’s UV-C lights play a pivotal role in neutralizing biological contaminants, operating at a wavelength of 254 nm to eliminate 99.9% of viruses. Safety features, including a metal liner and a door with a safety switch, guarantee secure operation. Additionally, the unit’s modulating fan switch enables precise airflow control, catering to varying space requirements.
Optimized Design
Unlike conventional systems, the MAC-700 creates low-pressure zones that facilitate the induction of surrounding air into the clean airflow, minimizing the risk of contamination. Its strategic design ensures that filtered air is released above the occupied space, avoiding disruptive horizontal discharge common in other models.
Versatility and Applications
Ideal for a diverse range of environments, including offices, schools, restaurants, nursing homes, and medical facilities, the MAC-700 offers unparalleled versatility. Its efficacy in reducing airborne contaminants makes it an indispensable asset in high-risk settings and areas with stringent cleanliness standards.
Technical Specifications
Airflow Control: Adjustable speed control ranging from 200 up to 700 CFM (ft3/min) enables customization based on occupancy, size, and sound requirements.
Filtration Efficiency: The MAC-700 utilizes a MERV 10 pre-filter to capture large particles, UV-C light treatment for viral deactivation, and a HEPA filter with 99.99% efficiency on 0.3 μm particles.
Safety Features: Equipped with a metal liner and safety switch, the MAC-700’s UV-C lamps ensure secure operation, with minimal risk of UV-C radiation exposure.
Operating Cost: Running the MAC-700 for 10 hours a day, five days a week, amounts to a mere $47 per year, making it a cost-effective solution for sustained air quality improvement.
Distinguishing Features: The MAC-700 surpasses standard air purifiers with its larger capacity, enhanced filtration efficiency, and commercial-grade construction.
Filter Replacement: Recommended replacement intervals for the HEPA filter range from 18 months to 2 years, with pre-filter changes every 60 to 90 days.
Operating Costs: Operating the MAC-700 for 10 hours a day, five days a week, amounts to a mere $47 per year, making it a cost-effective solution for sustained air quality improvement.
HVAC Integration: Unlike standalone HEPA filters, integrating HEPA filtration into existing HVAC systems necessitates costly redesigns. The MAC-700 offers a simpler, more economical alternative, ensuring optimal performance without compromising system efficiency.
With its innovative design, advanced filtration technology, and versatility, the MAC-700 stands at the forefront of indoor air quality solutions. As businesses and institutions prioritize occupant wellbeing, the MAC-700 emerges as a reliable and efficient ally in the pursuit of cleaner, healthier indoor environments.

When a room boasts a complete ceiling that spans from wall to wall, it serves as a barrier, isolating the room from the area above it. This overhead space is often utilized for the return air path to the air handler, as well as for mounting mechanical equipment, plumbing, electrical supplies, and lighting. This open space becomes a distinct area separated from the occupied space below. Consequently, sound generated in the return plenum disperses throughout the plenum, creating an area sound source that evenly permeates the entire ceiling into the space below. AHRI Standard 885 outlines how the sound from mechanical equipment is impacted as it enters the occupied space. Sound measurements in the occupied space remain relatively constant across the entire floor area in the room.
No Ceiling – Point Source:
In the absence of a ceiling, the sound generated by mechanical equipment doesn’t enter the occupied space in the same way as when a ceiling is present. The sound source transforms into a point source, predominantly influenced by the distance between the source and the receiver. It may also be reflected from various equipment in the upper part of the room and directed towards specific areas in the occupied space. With only one overall space, the room volume increases. While AHRI Standard 885 provides a method for predicting sound levels in the occupied space under this condition, it tends to be overly optimistic. Measured attenuation values in each octave band differ significantly from predictions made with and without a ceiling. Attempts to achieve acceptable NC values in the occupied space without a ceiling often lead to oversized mechanical equipment to reduce noise. Furthermore, equipment sound levels tend to shift towards higher octave bands, adding to diffuser noise. Sound readings in the occupied space vary widely across the entire floor area, dissipating with increasing distance from the equipment.
Cloud or Floating Ceilings:
Cloud ceilings or floating ceilings are partially suspended, not extending from wall to wall. They are commonly used to conceal mechanical equipment in the upper part of the room or to enhance the room’s height near perimeter glass for a larger view. Under optimal conditions, room NC levels with cloud ceilings may not be better than those without a ceiling. Some areas might experience higher noise levels as noise from above the ceiling is concentrated on specific spots or areas in the occupied space.
Exercise caution when predicting room noise levels with partial or no ceilings, as the values can significantly differ from those in a space with a full ceiling.
Saturn Enterprises, Inc. proudly contributed to the modernization of the American Express headquarters in Mexico City, located at Reforma 350, also known as Torre del Angel. This iconic 21-story building on Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City’s most prestigious avenue, is situated at the Plaza of the Angel of Independence, the city’s best-known monument.
Enhancing Efficiency and Quality
Our project featured cutting-edge building automation solutions, including high-performance fan-powered Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems and advanced controls. Our work at Torre del Angel involved implementing state-of-the-art systems to boost energy efficiency and indoor environment quality. This redevelopment of an existing 1980s vintage building was led by renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern, transforming it into an International Class A office space and ensuring a comfortable and productive environment for American Express employees.
Hines, along with its Mexican partners, invested approximately $23 million over two years for a complete renovation. Robert A.M. Stern collaborated with a team of both Mexican and U.S. architects, engineers, and consultants like Saturn Enterprises to achieve the desired transformation. Torre del Angel is located in the principal financial, commercial, and hotel district of downtown Mexico City. The building, covered with shining glass and designed by Robert Stern, stands as an attractive feature for business and tourism. This exquisite address overlooks the famous Angel of Independence monument, one of Mexico’s most representative landmarks, symbolizing freedom and governance.
