What is an iFD filter?

An ifD filter is a type of filter used in Air Purifiers for removing particulate pollutants from the Air. Particulate pollutants as the name suggests are tiny particles that are floating around in the air around us.

How does iFD filter work?

ifD is similar to HEPA filtration and uses a fan to circulate the air in a room and force it through the ifD filter. The filter works when a high voltage source actively charges the filter and forces particles to be captured in alternating layers of extruded co- polymer flutes, which look like a honeycomb.

Do iFD filters create ozone?

iFD Filters produce Ozone (in very small quantities) iFD filters work by infusing a small electric charge into the air passing through the air purifier. During this process, a small amount of the Oxygen molecules in the air are converted to Ozone.

What is better than a HEPA filter?

ULPA filters trap more and smaller particulate matter than HEPA filters. ULPA filters are 99.999% effective at removing submicron particulate matter of 0.12-micron diameter or larger, while HEPA filters are 99.97% effective for eliminating particulate matter of 0.3-micron diameter or larger.

Which is better HEPA or iFD?

HEPA filters are rated to capture at least 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns in size or larger. The Air Genius iFD filters capture 99.9% of particles 0.3 microns in size and larger by charging the particles in the air, causing them to stick to the iFD filter.

What does CADR stand for?

AHAM’s standard for measuring an air cleaner’s efficacy is called the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). CADR indicates the volume of filtered air an air cleaner delivers, with separate scores for tobacco smoke, pollen and dust. The higher the CADR number for each pollutant, the faster the unit filters the air.

Are zeolite filters safe?

Our particular zeolite has also been certified organic for use in animal feeds along with certified for use as a filter for drinking water. The zeolite used in our products has been classified as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) by the FDA, and as an inert ingredient by the EPA.

Does Honeywell air purifier have ozone?

No—none of the Honeywell air purifiers in our product selection produce ozone. Ozone is a powerful lung irritant produced by some air purifiers. But Honeywell air purifiers do not produce or emit any ozone, so you can be sure that the air in your home will stay fresh and clean.

What is CADR filter?

AHAM’s standard for measuring an air cleaner’s efficacy is called the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). CADR indicates the volume of filtered air an air cleaner delivers, with separate scores for tobacco smoke, pollen and dust.

What is blueair CADR?

CADR measures an air cleaner’s effectiveness based on room space and the volume of clean air produced per minute. The higher the CADR test numbers, the better the unit’s overall ability to clean indoor air.

What air purifier to buy?

Here are the best air purifiers you can buy in 2019: Best air purifier overall: Coway Airmega 200M Best air purifier for allergies: Dyson Pure Cool Air Purifier Fan Best air purifier for larger rooms: Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Air Purifier Best non-electric air purifier: Morihata International Chikuno Cube

What does a Honeywell air filter do?

Together, the Honeywell HEPA filter and Honeywell carbon pre-filter work to remove harmful and irritating particles from the air, including pollen, dust, tobacco smoke, animal dander, germs, bacteria, and mold spores with nearly 100% efficiency.

What is air filter efficiency?

Air filter efficiency refers to the relative ability of a filter to remove particles of a given size or size range from air passing through the filter. If a filter were 100% efficient, none of the particles in a given size range would escape the filter and air which has passed through such a filter would contain zero particles.

What is filtration technology?

Filtration Technology Systems designs and manufactures quality production equipment for the air filter industry, built on the principle that there is an intrinsic value, as well as personal and financial reward, in producing products and services that offer customers more value than they expect to receive.
