W(KW)=Q*P/(3600*1000*n0*n1)
W-Power consumption(KW)
Q-Air Volume(m3/h)
Pa-Static pressure drop
n0-Internal efficiency of fan (0.75 for small Q,0.85 for large Q)
n1-Mechanical efficiency(1 for fan motor direct connection,0.95-0.98 for coupling connection,0.9-0.95 for belt connection,0.85 for flat belt drive
16000 CFM payback for MERV 13 / MERV 16
traditional media filter
- Based on average filter replacement costs
every four months - Does not inactivate or kill pathogens, only traps them
- Exposes service technicians to harmful pathogens
- Antiquated particulate material use
- High maintenance
- Traditional filters incur higher electrical operating costs due to higher static pressure
- Recirculating air pushed through an increasingly dirty filter
- Contributes to excess landfill waste
vs.
aireshield plasmic powered air disinfector
- There are no replacement costs for the life of the filter
- Killing or rendering pathogens ineffective
- No trapped pathogens to expose service technicians
- Breakthrough air disinfection technology
- Easy maintenance: No chemicals/consumables
- Low power consumption < 12 watts
- Priceless health benefits – breathe safe!
- Earth friendly
