\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n SARS CoV-2, like all coronaviruses, was easily transmitted via inhaled and exhaled airborne droplets. Home isolation was often ineffective and didn\u2019t offset outside influences, such as returning schoolchildren, parties, or just visitors who can potentially infect unprotected home environments. Air droplets have been proven to move between rooms mainly via the HVAC system\u2019s air distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n New HVAC Technology\u00a0<\/span>Combats Viruses\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The good news is that the HVAC industry\u2019s air filtration sector has introduced new disinfecting technologies to combat airborne biological contaminants, including coronaviruses. Most submicron-sized contaminants, 95% of them smaller than a grain of sand, easily pass through a standard HVAC filter. However, a new third-party-tested<\/a> technology disinfects airborne pathogens and enhances particulate filtration, which normally would pass through an HVAC system.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One example is Aireshield<\/a>\u00ae<\/a><\/span> by Reviveaire LLC. This patented non-thermal plasma disinfection system resembles the size and thickness of a common HVAC fabric filter used in most home central air conditioning and\/or heating systems. It\u2019s easily installed by HVAC technicians or Do-It-Yourselfers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n How It Works<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The non-thermal plasma system<\/a> electrostatically charges the HVAC supply air with an undetectable plasmic cloud of negative and positive-charged ions. The positive and negative ions electrically attach to themselves and submicron airborne contaminants. This agglomeration process enlarges both biological and non-biological submicron particulates, so they easily entrap in standard fabric HVAC filters. The electrostatic field also disinfects pathogens.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The process also prevents bio-slime, a sludge t\u00adhat easily grows in the dark, moist environment of cool HVAC coils. Bio-slime potentially cuts HVAC efficiency (thermal transfer) by up to 30%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Keeping coils clean and efficient can pay back a non-thermal plasma system\u2019s cost in 3 to 5 years with energy savings. The system continues providing protection from viruses, as well as everyday concerns such as allergens, flu, common cold and other airborne biological contaminants for 10 years or more.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Protecting a home from everyday airborne contaminants or pandemics requires readiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To find contractors who can install Aireshield, call Reviveaire at 908.987.7089 or email info@reviveaire.com<\/a>.
