There are many portable air
cleaner/purification systems in the marketplace today. Unfortunately, the
consumer may become confused or misled by the various claims being made
on air filter technology, filtration media, odor and chemical adsorbing capability and complete system performance. We believe
indoor air quality is vital to health because we spend so much time
indoors, therefore buying the correct air cleaner system is crucial. We
don't confuse you by offering every air cleaner product made as most available products
are ineffective and potentially harmful to your health. Our product line is the result of
the review of detailed information on available portable air cleaner
systems and technologies and in-depth discussions with product
manufacturers.
The information below will help guide you to the air
filter system that will meet your needs and will inform you why our HEPA
Room Air Cleaners are the best available for indoor air quality. To
understand how indoor air quality can effect your health, read our fact
sheet on Potential
Health Effects of Indoor Pollutants and please
review our section on Indoor Air Quality in our Education Center for more detailed information on general indoor
air quality issues.
CADR Testing
Some product
manufacturers use a standard called "Clean Air Delivery Rate", also
referred to as the CADR test, to make an effectiveness claim for
their portable air cleaners. The CADR test lacks the detailed
information and test protocols to allow a consumer to make an
informed decision when purchasing an air filter system to meet their
specific needs. When purchasing a portable air filter system for
your home, you want to know that the system will provide consistent
performance over the life of the filtration media and you want to
know the efficiency of the system at removing microscopic particles.
The CADR test fails to inform consumers in these critical areas.

Air Filter System Technologies
There are a variety of
technologies used in room air cleaners including ionization,
ozonation, electrostatic precipitation, ultraviolet light, air
washing, incineration, mechanical filtration, photocatalysis,
chemisorption and adsorption. Click for a brief review of the different
Air Cleaner
Technology.
Air Filter System Guidelines
The performance of an
air cleaner is dependent on numerous factors such as:
The amount of air flowing through it.
The type
and efficiency of the filter media.
The air cleaner construction that
affects
particle escape around the filter media.
The size and amount of particles present in the air.
The rate at which the filter
media
losses it effectiveness.
The amount and type of gasses present in the air.
The quantity, depth and
type of the gas adsorbent material.
The velocity of the air traveling through the
gas adsorbent media.
The room conditions such as air temperature and humidity
effecting the capacity of adsorbents to remove odors and chemicals.
With so many variables
affecting the performance of an air filter system, education of the
consumer is critical to the correct purchasing decision. Click for a review of
