Ion generators are a type of air purification technology that works by charging particles in a room so that they are attracted to walls, floors, tables, curtains, occupants, and more. This abrasion can cause these particles to be resuspended in the air. In some cases, these devices contain a collector to attract charged particles back to the unit. The basic principle behind an HVAC ionizer is to release charged ions into the air stream. Charged ions must give up or absorb an electron to become neutral.
These charged ions are attracted to and cling to particles that float in the air. Ionizers attract positive ion particles by emitting negative ions to help neutralize air. The charged particles are then collected on plates inside the ionizing device. When an HVAC ionizer is installed in your HVAC system, it generates ions that are injected into the stream. These ions break down harmful pollutants and gases present in the system and leave harmless compounds such as water vapor, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
The ions created by this technology adhere to pollen, allergens, smoke, airborne particles, and more. The particles then continue to bind together, creating “clumps” that are then trapped in the air filter. Installing an HVAC ionizer can be a great way to improve indoor air quality and reduce the amount of pollutants in your home or office. It typically takes 2 to 4 hours to install a common ionizing air purifier for an oven, depending on the location of the oven or climate system, ease of access, level of experience, and other factors. Both UV lights and ionizers can be installed in the air conditioning system and work continuously to automatically purify the air in the house 24 hours a day. Research has shown that furnace ionizers that are installed as part of an air conditioning system and air purifiers located in shared building spaces help eliminate viruses and pollutants from the air, including mold, bacteria, and allergens.
For example, the Home Needlepoint ionizer, the Pure-Plasma Air 600 is easy to install and cleans areas up to 2400 square feet - more than enough for an ordinary household in Canada and the North of the US. The principle of operation of an air ionizer is based on a special emitter that creates an ionizing field through which dirty air passes. This field helps break down harmful pollutants and gases present in the system into harmless compounds such as water vapor, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. By installing an HVAC ionizer you can improve your indoor air quality by reducing allergens, smoke particles, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and other pollutants from your home or office environment. This technology helps reduce energy costs by improving filter efficiency while also providing cleaner air for you and your family or colleagues.
