IQAir and Pollutants - How well does IQAir deal with major allergens and pollutants

Applications
Applications

 

Most air purifiers only filter particles larger than 0.3 microns in size, but 90% of all ultra fine particles are smaller than 0.3 microns. This means that most air purifiers are only filtering 10% of the particles in your air. IQAir's patented HyperHEPA filters are the first filters tested and certified to filter down to 0.003 microns with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of over 99.5%. This allows your IQAir to capture the ultra fine particles that other air purifiers miss.
  1. Exceeds HEPA standard: IQAir HealthPro is the world’s first air cleaner to pass the world’s most stringent HEPA filter test: EN 1822.
  2. HyperHEPA goes beyond HEPA standard of removing 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns and larger. Also removes at least 99.95% of all particles below 0.3 microns.
  3. Captures 100 times more particles with HyperHEPA filters: If one million particles enter a HealthPro air purifier, less than 300 emerge, compared to 30,000 particles for conventional HEPA air purifiers

- Longer Air Filter Life:

    1. High-efficiency pre-filtration: While most air purifiers use pre-filters with particle efficiencies well below 20%, IQAir systems typically retain over 90% of particle mass in the pre-filter so the HEPA and gas phase filter are better protected for a longer life.
    2. Independent Filter Stages :Each air filter (pre-filter, HEPA air filter and gas phase air filter) and can be changed independently, while conventional air purifiers often combine several filter types in one filter cartridge, so they must all be replaced even if one isn’t used up.
    3. Commercial size filters collect more pollutants and last longer than most hepa air purifiers made by manufacturers who try to minimize costs and use very little filter material.
  • Triple Seal Design prevents internal leakage that reduces the actual efficiency of most other air cleaners.
  • Intelligent Filter Life Monitor: takes actual use, speed settings and air quality conditions into account for maximum filter yield and performance.
  • IQAir® tests and certifies each and every IQAir® system before shipping and provides a 3 year warranty on the HealthPro Series of air purifiers.

The Air Flow of the Healthpro air purifier :

The IQAir HealthPro air purifiers take in air from the bottom of the unit, the air is passed through pre-filter then through the fan, then the gas media, then through the HEPA filter, and then the air is vented out of the sides just below the top of the unit from a 320 degree, 77 square inch opening.

Air intake:

  • maximum distance from air outlet prevents re-intake of already cleaned air (short-cutting)
  • optional: intake adapter to create over or under-pressure environments

Pre-filter element: fine dust filtration with 55% efficient media at 0.3 microns (ASHRAE 90-95%, class F8)

HEPA filter element: filtration efficiency of 99.97% at 0.3 microns

Fan:

  • max. air delivery with filters: up to 280 cfm on HealthPro
    and up to 260 cfm on HealthPro Plus
  • fan capacity: 700 cfm (1200m3-h)
  • low energy consumption: 85 - 215 watts

Air outlet diffuser: returns clean, low turbulence, low velocity air

 

A king among princes, IQAir rules supreme. When we tested this air purifier, virtually nothing escaped its Hyper-HEPA filter. Packed with superior technological features such as a huge capacity pre-filter, filter change indicator lights, a HEPA filter efficiency rating second to none we have tested, and six fan-speed settings, the IQair is as good as it gets.

The Hyper-HEPA filters out smaller particulates than other filters, and these tiny particles are the ones which are actually injurious to your health. We are particularly impressed with its robust pre-filter which screens out 90% of all larger allergens. We can find no equal in any other purifier. The quality of its carbon fill is the best you can find, so simply put, it does a better job. Warning lights tell you when to change any of the filters. No expense has been spared in the manufacturing of this machine. The IQAir air purifiers series filters out pet dander, viruses, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, odors, and bacteria. This air purifier is for those who know their health deserves only the very best and who want to ensure clean air in their homes.

Air Purifiers: Air purifiers are a valuable addition to any allergy sufferers home, particularly those who are sensitive to airborne particles such as pollen, animal dander, pollution and dust mite allergen. All these products have been selected for their quality and high performance at removing particulates.
IQAir: IQ Air’s Swiss made range of air cleaners achieve what is known as Hyper HEPA performance, which means that the whole machine has been classified as HEPA standard, not just the filter. This results in a matchless quality of air output. All IQAir models are very quiet on the low settings and economical to run. The domestic models have the advantage of intelligent individual filter change sensors, which enables you to change each filter individually as it becomes used. They also function by remote control and programmable timers.

The IQair hepa air purifier is manufactured in Switzerland. It is a testament to precision Swiss engineering. The company behind this unit is in the hospital clean room business.

Pluses:

  • Surpasses HEPA filtration: The IQair has a filter that is classified as Hyper Hepa- having a micro particle retention rate up to 100 times higher than regular hepa. The amount of hepa and other filter media in the IQair hepa air purifier is simply larger than almost any other machine available non the market.
  • Powerful fan that's moderately quiet: The IQair hepa air purifier has at its core a 700 cfm, 2950 rpm rated fan. That is twice as powerful as most other fans used in an air purifier. Each fan is individually balanced and uses steel ball bearings.
  • Lower than average noise level, quiet and almost silent on lower fan speeds: Because of its exceptionally large fan, centered in the middle of the machine the IQair is quieter than most [but not all] hepa air purifiers. On the first two fan speeds you have a hard time hearing the air filter. On the third speed it is a pleasant quiet background hum. Like all hepa air purifiers, it is fairly noisy on the higher speeds (4-6) so you probably want to use it on high speed when you are not in the room.
  • Control options and settings: One of the big pluses of the IQair hepa air purifier is its control options. The remote control is a nice extra, and the ability to set the machine to go on and off at certain pre-designated times is a big plus.
  • Certified performance: Each IQair hepa air purifier has a certificate of performance in air delivery, filter leakage and particle filtration efficiency.
  • Pre-filter increases longevity of hepa and gas filter life: Another big plus in our opinion is that the IQair has both a pre-filter and a gas filter (in the plus model). Having a pre-filter means that your gas and your hepa filter will last longer. The pre-filter lasts 7 to 14 months; the gas filter 10-21 months; the hepa filter 17-35 months. This is based on running the unit at medium speed 3, 12 to 24 hours a day. Your actual filter life will vary based on the speed you run it at. If you run it above speed 3 the filter life will be shorter while running it below speed 3 will result in a longer filter life. It will also vary depending on the level of recontamination. For instance in a very heavily polluted urban area the filter life will be shorter.
  • Filter change needed indicator light:The IQair lets you know when any of the filters need changing, instead of you using the unit with blocked filters as most people tend to do! The orange warning light comes on to let you know that you have about 20% of the filter life remaining.
  • Low cost to run: The IQair for all its power is not expensive to run. It is one of the most efficient hepa air purifiers from the energy consumption point of view, using about the same power as a couple of lightbulbs.
  • Environmentally safe construction: The IQair hepa air purifier is constructed of non off-gassing materials.
  • Easy to change filters: The filters are very easy to change, this can be done without a screwdriver in a matter of about 3 minutes. All the filters stack up modular fashion, and can be swapped in and out.
  • Helpful owner's manual: The IQair air purifier comes with a very informative manual.

Minuses:

  • It is quite a large unit, standing near waist height, but is attractively styled.
IQAir are not the quietest air purifiers, although they are far from the noisiest.
