At 1,171 CFM turbo airflow, a single unit covers up to 2,928 square feet through a dual-HEPA filtration system — two HEPA filters each rated for a 2-year service life, plus a pre-filter for large-particle capture. A proximity sensor automatically adjusts operation based on detected occupancy, reducing energy draw and extending filter life during unoccupied periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor facilities prioritizing low visual impact and simple installation, the Cobalt's 2×4 format integrates into existing ceiling grid infrastructure without custom fabrication or structural modification. Beyond ceiling installation, the unit is also wall mountable for low-profile side installation, and a mobile stand (sold separately) converts it into a repositionable floor-level unit when flexibility is needed. Plug-and-play 120V operation requires no dedicated electrical work beyond a standard circuit — the unit is ready to operate immediately after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 1em 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px; background: #f5f5f5; text-align: left; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px; background: #f5f5f5; text-align: left; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eIdeal Warehouse Innovations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eCobalt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eManufacturer Part #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e60-8501\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eAirflow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e1,171 CFM at turbo (70,260 cu ft\/hr)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eCoverage Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eUp to 2,928 sq ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eFiltration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eDual HEPA filters + pre-filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eHEPA Filter Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e2 years per filter (2-pack replacement SKU 60-8551)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eProximity sensor with smart plug-and-play operation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eCeiling (2×4 grid), wall mount, or mobile stand (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eCeiling Tile Fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eCompatible with standard 2×4 ceiling tiles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e250W \/ 120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eSound Level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eUltra-quiet operation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e49\"L × 25\"W × 22\"H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eShipping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eLTL freight required - 30-40 day shipping. \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommercial and Office Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain consistent air quality in occupied commercial spaces, the Cobalt 60-8501 is deployed in open-plan offices, meeting rooms, retail showrooms, dining areas, fitness studios, and light manufacturing spaces where a visible air purifier would be out of place aesthetically or where floor and wall space is at a premium.
