Austin Air Purifiers

Austin Air virus removal:

There has been an upswing in demand due to the COVID-19 virus, which HEPA can filter since it is approximately .2 microns, and Austin Air units filter to .1 micron at 95% efficiency, and .3 micron at 99.97% efficiency. Also, the HEGA cloth in the Bedroom Machine and Allergy Machine contain carbon, which is antimicrobial.

UPDATE March 11, 2024: Junior units are back in stock!

 

Regarding other filtering technologies: UV is not effective in a portable air purifier because five minutes of dwell time on a biological substrate is required to effect what we call a kill ratio. We believe it is better to trap the pathogens than try to denature or destroy them. PCO (photocatalytic oxidation) and ionization create ozone as a byproduct in other devices on the market. We would not recommend these technologies because ozone is a known lung and throat irritant and is not allowed in the State of California where there are strict emission standards to protect human health in indoor environments.

Austin Air Purifiers

Austin Air purifiers incorporate filtration technology used in hospitals and operating rooms, including true medical-grade HEPA. A large amount of activated carbon is also utilized: 6 or 15 pounds in most Austin Air units, instead of the tiny amount inside less expensive air filters. And unlike electrostatic precipitators and ionic generators, no toxic by-products, such as ozone, are emitted.Austin Air particulate removal diagram
