Reviveaire Introduces First Non-Thermal Plasma-Based HVAC Air Disinfection, Filtration Product
Reviveaire, a provider of HVAC and IAQ filtration equipment, has introduced Aireshield, an air filtration method that combines airborne pathogen disinfection, particulate agglomeration/collection and cooling coil biofilm prevention within residential and commercial HVAC system airstreams. Aireshield is a non-thermal plasma-based airborne contaminant filtration method, offers negligible HVAC system static pressure drops and is ozone free.
The Aireshield resembles a one-inch-thick traditional HVAC media filter frame. It easily slides into an HVAC system’s filter channel and is hard wired into the control circuit. The Aireshield creates a 5,500V plasmic field that damages airborne viral and bacterial contaminants’ genetic material as they pass through in the HVAC airstream. The plasmic field inactivates, neutralizes and prevents replication beyond 99% as proven by third party tests for SARS, influenza and Staphylococcus Albus and other biological contaminants. Non-thermal plasma-based air filtration is recommended by ASHRAE Standard 241.
Other Aireshield features and benefits include:
- Generates 1 ppb of ozone during the neutralization process, according to ASHRAE 241 chamber testing
- Surpasses California Air Resources Board air cleaning device ozone compliance and UL2998 “Zero Ozone Emissions Validation”
- Prevents mold, slime, mildew, micro-toxins and other biological growths on cooling coils, which improves cooling performance and indoor air quality
- Fits all HVAC system configurations, requires no replacement parts and installs within 15 minutes
- Third-party tested and certified to ETL, UL and CSA 22.2 standards
- Can operate as a standalone filtration system, or supplement UV, bipolar ionization, activated carbon or all traditional media filter methodologies
- Doesn’t degrade in performance or require periodic replacement
- Requires once or twice annual cleanings
- 3-year warranty
