What is the difference
between an OmniAire In Duct Air Purifier and
an air filter?
An air filter is designed to collect particulates such as
dust and dirt from the air. Contaminants such as mold, bacteria, viruses,
chemicals and odors pass through the filter. The OmniAire In
Duct Purifier is designed to remove these contaminants through both DNA
Sterilization and Photo Oxidation.
How does UV-C light kill contaminants?
OmniAire In Duct Air Purifiers use a
proprietary "J" lamp that produces both UV-C and UV-V light.
UV-C is short-wave radiation - it attacks the DNA of the
cells.
UV-V is primarily used for oxidation - this is the portion
of the lamp that destroys chemicals and odors.
Are OmniAire In Duct Air Purifiers safe to use?
OmniAire In Duct Air Purifiers are tested and
certified to meet UL and CSA safety standards.
How much electricity does the purifier use?
OmniAire In Duct Air Purifiers range in power consumption
from 15 watts to 85 watts, depending on the particular model. Basically no
more energy than the standard incandescent light bulb.
Do OmniAire In Duct Purifiers produce ozone?
The amount of residual ozone produced by the OmniAire
In Duct Air Purifier has been independently measured and found not to exceed
.0035 parts per million at the outlet of the purifier. This is less residual
ozone than a typical copy machine produces and in documented quality tests
zero ozone levels have been found in the living areas.
