Generate positive and negative ions
The positive and negative ions family collides with bacteria and viruses.
The ions breakdown and damage the proteins and DNA of the cell membrane,
Causing them to rapidly lose activity and being killed, then decomposed
The plasma technology basically ionizes particles or breaks down molecules into their elemental constituents. For instance, the air pollutant ammonia or NH3 will be ionized into N and H which will later combine in the air to become harmless N2 (nitrogen molecules) and H2O (water molecules). This technology is also UL Listed as having “zero ozone emission’s”, when tested in accordance with UL-2998 does not exceed 0.005 ppm ozone. Unlike electronic air cleaners for instance that can produce ozone above allowable limits.
Ionization has the same effect as UVC at keeping the cooling coil clean and free of algae even when located on the upstream side of the coil. The ionization passes through the coil and is effective on both sides thus keeping the coil clean. A great benefit of the NPBI plasma technology is it is virtually maintenance free. Only annual cleaning of the carbon fiber brushes is recommended, and the carbon fiber material never needs replacement. The cleaning process is as simple as using a nylon (wire free) brush for gently cleaning the needles (carbon fiber tips) and a cloth using isopropyl alcohol for between the brushes and outer bar.
lons are molecules or atoms that contain an electrical charge and exist in nature in various sizes. Small ions only last between 30 and 300 seconds before losing their charge, but are extremely active.
Small ion densities range from 900 to 1,100 negative ions and 1,000 to 1,200 positive ions per cubic centimeter (ions/cm3) in pristine natural environments. At sea level ion density is typically around 500 negative and 600 positive ions/cm3. In cities and inside buildings ion levels drop by 80% to 95% and can be barely detectable in small spaces.
As ion density decreases, so does the air quality. By increasing the quantity of both positively and negatively charged small oxygen ions, air quality is improved. This is the basis of Plasma Air’s soft ionization technology.
