Austin Air is a well known company making air cleaners that has been around
since
Richard Tyler created the first unit after he had
experienced indoor air that was contaminated. His wife had trouble
breathing since she was a little girl. Doctors, medication, and
specialists couldn’t do anything productive to help her breathe better.
After years of suffering from years on not being able to breathe very
well, the most obvious cause of her trouble was the air that she was
breathing in. That is when the company became a reality and
particular designs were to be made in order to help with taking the
contaminants out of the air.
Richard Taylor started researching air quality in order to design adequate air
cleaners to help his wife be able to breath much better.
After he had completed his research and invented the air purifier that
could meet all of the needs of his wife, he soon founded the company and
continued to design more and more air purifiers that could meet the
needs of many other people who also suffer from respiratory problems due
to their poor indoor air quality.
Healthy air quality is one of the most important needs that people need
to be able to live healthy. With outdoor pollution rates as they are now
days, you don’t need your indoor air to be polluted at the same rates.
Technology
Three different kinds of filters are featured in their
air cleaners. The first one is the HEPA filter which is designed with
four different filtration systems inside of it to help purify the
impurities in the air. The first filter that is on the outside helps to
attract larger particles like hair and dust. The second filter inside of
the main HEPA filter is the pre filter. This filter traps the smaller
particles that slip through the outer filter. The outer and the pre
filter are the most important parts of the entire HEPA filter. The next
filter is fifteen pounds of activated carbon. The activated carbon
absorbs the odors and harmful chemical vapors that are in the air. It
can also absorb the much smaller particles that have slipped through the
previous two filter systems. The very last filter in the HEPA filter is
the True Medical HEPA paper. This filter traps any of the super small
particles that may have slipped through the three previous filters
guaranteeing that the air that is returned back into the room is clean
and free of particles. The True Medical HEPA paper is able to detect any
particles that are as tiny as 0.3 microns unlike the other three filters
in the HEPA filter.
There is also another type of filter that Austin Air Cleaners has designed . This
filter is called the Austin Air Superblend Filter. It is designed for
those who are chemically sensitive. This filter has everything that the
HEPA filter has in all the other units along with added potassium iodide
that is inserted in the carbon zeolite filter. This filter is guaranteed
to remove the odors and gases because of the potassium iodide.
The HealthMate air cleaners take in a flow of air that is brought in through
the entire perforated periphery of the machine. By using this method, it
allows for a very large filter and helps to reduce the noises and
restrictions that other air purifiers deal with. The air passes through
the pre filter in order to remove any larger particles like hair and
dust. Then it flows into the carbon zeolite mixture. This mixture then
removes any odors or chemical vapors that may be present and filters out
the air before it reaches the HEPA filter. After going through two
filters it finally reaches the HEPA filter which is a simple pleated
paper filter that is designed to remove 99.97% of all particles that are
bigger than 0.3 microns in their size. Once the air flow has completed
its trip though all three of the previous filters, it then travels
through the motor of the machine and into the fan, in which pushes the
newly purified air orut of the air cleaners and back out into the room.
The HealthMate series air cleaners is designed with a high efficiency PSC motor that is a great money saver. It allows the air
cleaners to
run for many hours and it only cost a few pennies a day.
