COMMERCIAL AIR PURIFIERS
SELF-CLEANING - AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME
Filtering incoming air only solves half the problem!
For many years, the primary method of cleaning indoor air within a commercial environment, has been to filter the air that is being brought in, from the outside. While this has been a somewhat futile strategy due in part to the problems related to: high air flow; pressure drop restrictions; and cost, it has recently been acknowledged that this methods is also relatively ineffective. It does not alleviate the problem of particulate creation within the space, (caused by a myriad of sources), including the movement of people and the matter this is produced by any number of operations within the space.
The obvious solution to the problem of cleaning the inside air is the installation of supplemental cleaning systems. However, until now, the costs involved in keeping those systems operating at peak efficiencies has been prohibitive.
Clean Air Options has solved this problem with the introduction of a family of "Self-Cleaning" systems designed for virtually any commercial space. As shown, these systems are currently in use in over 500 woodworking shops and sewing rooms, in numerous Swedish schools. In addition, over the past year, a growing number of these DEP Technology, Self-Cleaning units have been employed at IKEA in Stockholm, Sweden. These systems are installed in the Warehouse, The Carpet Department, the Food Court, the Self-Service Area, the Human Resource Dept., and other locations throughout the store. The decision to purchase these systems was based upon the gathering of clean air data within the various spaces, over many months, by systematically employing a series of prototype units. The justification to purchase the systems was a combination of improved indoor air quality, as well as a dramatic cost savings via lower energy costs and lower cleaning costs(up to 17 times less energy than the units they replaced), and significantly lower "overhead cleaning costs", due to the Self-Cleaning capability.
