HOW OUR PLASMA AIR PURIFIER WORKS?

PlasmaAir’s bipolar ionization technology offers a broader, more extensive solution than other products in the market. Installed in a furnace or air handler, the Plasma Air Purifier produces millions of positively and negatively charged oxygen ions. These ions travel through the air system and into occupied space, neutralizing pollutants.

 Plasma Air Purifier - How it works

 

Plasma Air uses bipolar ionization technology to proactively purify indoor air at the source of contamination.

 

How Bipolar Ionization Works to Clean the Air of Pollutants?

Much like sunlight does in the atmosphere, Plasma Air technology produces a natural bio-climate rich in positive and negative oxygen ions. The negative ions contain an extra electron while the positive ions are missing an electron resulting in an unstable condition. In an effort to restabilize, these bipolar ions seek out atoms and molecules in the air to trade electrons with, effectively neutralizing particulate matter, bacteria and virus cells, odorous gases and aerosols, and VOCs.

them to enter and be caught in filters.

2. Bacteria and viruses bond with oxygen ions 

and are destroyed.

3. Odorous gases and aerosols oxidize on contact with

oxygen ions and are neutralised.

4. Oxygen ions cause a chemical reaction with VOCs

breaking down their molecular structure. 

 

   

What Are Oxygen Ions?

Ions are molecules or atoms that contain an electrical charge and exist in nature in various sizes. Small ions only last between 30 and 300 seconds before losing their charge, but are extremely active. Small ion densities range from 900 to 1,100 negative ions and 1,000 to 1,200 positive ions per cubic centimeter (ions/cm3) in pristine natural environments. At sea level ion density is typically around 500 negative and 600 positive ions/cm3. In cities and inside buildings ion levels drop by 80% to 95% and can be barely detectable in small spaces.  As ion density decreases, so does the air quality. By increasing the quantity of both positively and negatively charged small oxygen ions, air quality is improved. This is the basis of Plasma Air's bipolar ionization technology.

How Plasma Air Compares to Reactive Air Purification Methods

Plasma Air’s bipolar ionization technology is a superior solution because it proactively treats the air in the occupied space at the source of contamination. Traditional end-of-pipe solutions utilize a reactive “pass-through” or “filtered” approach.

1) HEPA filters add significant pressure drop resulting in larger horsepower motors and increased fan energy.
2) Carbon has high first cost, additional space requirements in the air handling units and prohibitive media replacement costs.
3) At high levels, UV can create noxious gases and is mutagenic. Bacteria kill rates are negligible with no effectiveness in the occupied space.
4) PCO can produce formaldehyde.
5) Success Rate based on independent tests on airborne pathogens
