Air-O-Swiss Air Cleaners - the Technology
Air-O-Swiss is a company that prides itself on its
reliable yet simple technology. The main technology that is used in the
AOS air cleaners is the HEPA filter. The HEPA filter has been the
filtering system that was used in the first products developed by the
air cleaning industry and is still used today. It is an effective and
simple way to filter harmful particles from the air. The HEPA filter is
so efficient that it was first used as a cleaning device in hospitals
and vacuum cleaners. Now it is used in some air cleaners as a way to
absorb the contaminants in the air before they are able to re-circulate.
AOS still uses this same type of filleting technology in their
air cleaners in order to eliminate the toxins and particles that may be
present in the air. HEPA filters can be used in residences to remove the
pollutants that may cause residents to experience asthma attacks or
allergic reactions. By eliminating these toxins from the air, the home
is left safer and the indoor air is easier for the residents to breathe
in.
The function of the HEPA filter is an easy concept to understand. The
air is drawn into the unit and goes through the filter. The HEPA
filter made of a paper that is finely meshed together. The paper is then
pleated in order to become extra absorbent of the particles in the air.
A good portion of the paper media is used and pleated in order to make a
small filter so that the filter is efficient at removing the particles.
A HEPA filter that has been created with enough paper media is able to
absorb these particles in the air for years before it needs to be
replaced.
Since HEPA filters are so effective at removing these particles and
contaminants from the air, they are often used in medical environments
such as hospitals and clinics. The HEPA filter is usually able to absorb
99.7% of all particles that are present in the air and are 0.03 microns
and larger in size. This includes most particles that can be present in
the air. A particle that is measured to be 0.03 microns in size is about
240 times smaller than a strand of human hair. The size of particles
that a filter is able to absorb includes most particles that can be
present in the air, including mold spores, pet dander, dust and dirt.
Since the HEPA filter in Air-O-Swiss products is able to absorb these types of particles, it is
the perfect type of filter to be used in an air cleaner for a resident
who suffers from asthma or allergies. Asthma and allergy sufferers can
generally feel the symptoms of their conditions when they are exposed to
particles in indoor air such as pet dander, dust, pollen and dirt. With
the removal of these particles by the HEPA filter, the sufferers are
able to breathe easier.
A HEPA, or High Efficiency Particulate Arresting, filter is an efficient
and simple way for an air cleaner to eliminate the particles and
contaminants in the air. Since the HEPA filter has the ability to remove
almost all particles in the air that are 0.03 microns and larger in
size, it is still one of the most popular filtering systems used in air
cleaners on the market. The HEPA filter may have been invented and used
a long time ago, but its effectiveness and the simple filtering system
still lives on today in many air cleaners.
Air-O-Swiss has become aware of the effectiveness and useful nature of
the HEPA filter. The company uses this filtering technology in most of
their air cleaners. It is an easy and efficient way to remove the particles
in the indoor air and is proven and measured to be effective.
Air-O-Swiss air cleaners are known to be some of the best products on
the market because of their used of this filtering system. With the use
of a HEPA filtering system, an air cleaner is known to be more effective
at removing the particles in the indoor air. A HEPA filter can make all
the difference when used in an air cleaner. The air cleaner’s efficiency
and effectiveness is increased with the help of a HEPA filter, which
makes Air-O-Swiss air cleaners some of the most powerful on the market.
