Finding a Scent Diffuser with the Best Coverage Capabilities
You’re interested in an automated scent diffuser, but how do you know which system will be right for you? Will the system be too powerful? Too subtle? How do you find the system that’s the right size for your space?
At State Chemical, we manufacture and distribute chemical solutions for a variety of purposes, and one of our focuses is ambient scenting. We know that when it comes to your facility, you want only the best, so it’s our goal to educate you so that you can make the best purchase.
To help you know which size fragrance system is best for your space, we’re going to compare small-space and large-space systems, explain when you need each, and advise you on how to make the smartest purchase. After reading, you’ll know what type of scent diffuser you need.
How Do Small-Space and Large-Space Scent Diffusers Work?
All scent diffusers have the same function: releasing a fragranced mist to eliminate odors and add a pleasant scent to a designated space. Scent diffusers are automated systems that release this fragrance on a regular, customizable basis to keep spaces smelling consistently fresh.
What differs between small-space and large-space scent diffusers is coverage capability and logistics of function.
Small-space systems might include systems that can fragrance 10,000 cubic feet or less (this might be anywhere from a two-stall bathroom to a conference room). Usually, small-space systems are wall-mounted, and they may use cold air diffusion, a metered aerosol, a gel, a wafer, a wick, or something else. They may be fan-propelled to push the fragrance out and fill the space.
In this way, small-space systems’ technology is very flexible and you have a lot of options depending upon your preferences.
Meanwhile, large-space systems include diffusers that can fragrance 15,000 cubic feet or more (this might cover anything from a hotel lobby to an entire sports arena). Large-space systems usually utilize cold air diffusion to fragrance a space, and they’ll be situated on the floor or connected to the air handling unit (AHU).
Large-space systems may have fewer options for certain preferences, but they can easily fragrance large spaces and entire buildings, creating a consistent scenting ambience.
Where to Use Small-Space Scent Diffusers
Coverage capabilities will be the main factor that determines where you should use a small-space diffuser. If your room falls within the range of 10,000 cubic feet or less, use a small-space diffuser intended to cover your specific room dimensions.
Sometimes, you only want to fragrance one space. Consider a coffee shop. Maybe they aren’t interested in fragrancing the entire cafe because the smells of coffee and pastries are already creating an ambience. However, they will likely want a scent diffuser to take care of their bathroom, and that’s where a single small-space scent diffuser is perfect.
But there are also times when you might prefer to fragrance several small spaces. This can mean putting scent diffusers in bathrooms across your facility or in different meeting rooms. Additionally, in lieu of using a large-space scent diffuser, you might prefer to use several small ones.
Let’s say that you’re running a movie theater. There’s a long hallway leading guests to each individual screening room. You could use a large-space scent diffuser for this, but because of the hallway’s shape, the fragrance might be more consistently dispersed if you used multiple small systems down the length of the hallway.
It all comes down to your specific situation, but when you’re dealing with a small or oddly shaped space, a small-space scent diffuser is likely a good solution for you.
Where to Use Large-Space Scent Diffusers
Meanwhile, large-space systems are also defined by coverage capabilities—and space layout. If your space is 15,000 cubic feet or more, you’ll likely benefit from a large-space system.
Let’s imagine that you run a fitness center and would like to fragrance the area. Putting a floor-situated fragrance system behind a desk or in another key area could consistently fragrance the space without getting in the way of guests.
But sometimes, you have a larger space than this. Sometimes, you don’t have a place to put a floor-situated system. In these cases, you may be able to connect a large-space scent diffuser to your AHU.
Suppose that you’re on the custodial staff of a casino. Most likely, people will get into a system left out in the open, so using a diffuser connected to your AHU system ensures that you can fragrance the entire building without any mishaps.
It is important to note that some buildings do not have a central AHU, and when this happens, you may not be able to use a scent diffuser in this way. Be aware of your AHU setup before investing in this kind of solution.
Overall, large-space systems are effective in large spaces, as the name implies. You may prefer to use several small-space systems if you prefer wall-mounted systems or if you need to fragrance an oddly shaped room. However, large-space systems are a good solution for consistent fragrancing throughout a significantly sized space.
