Fresh-Aire UV Introduces Bipolar Ionizer for HVAC Filtration Enhancement
Fresh-Aire UV has released the ENHANCE-ION, a bipolar ionizer designed to enhance common HVAC filter media for higher capture efficiency by agglomerating airborne particulates. The ionizer increases particulate capture in residential ducted HVAC systems up to 5 tons.
Mounted anywhere inside the ductwork or HVAC system, Enhance-Ion creates positive and negative ions and its turbulence generator disperses the charged ions into the airstream. The ions electrically attract and agglomerate, thus creating larger airborne particles that can be better captured by the HVAC filter.
The product’s effectiveness was laboratory tested with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 10 microns. A 38% and 18% improved capture rate was recorded for MERV 7 and MERV 8 media filters, respectively.
The 24v ENHANCE-ION comes in a sturdy, lightweight 5 (L) x 3.1 (W) x 1.9 (D)-inch polycarbonate-based case that’s installed inside an HVAC unit or other system interiors via a magnetic or screw mount.
Other features include:
- Designed, assembled and factory-tested in the U.S.
- Ozone-free
- Embedded carbon fiber brushes and turbulence generator allows for minimal maintenance
- LED on/off status light
- 3-year warranty
- 24V operation
- Cost-effective, competitively priced ionization system
