TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

Facing the dual challenge of high energy consumption and the need for effective air purification in urban environments, this solution optimizes air filtration in HVAC systems. By employing advanced sound wave technology, the specialized emitter agglomerates fine airborne particles, making them easier to capture and significantly reducing the pressure drop across air handling units. This method not only lowers energy usage but also extends filter lifespan, cutting operational costs and maintenance needs. Ideal for building operators and industries that prioritize energy efficiency and superior indoor air quality, such as commercial real estate, hospitals, and manufacturing facilities, this system meets stringent G4 filtration standards and achieves performance levels equivalent to MERV 13 and MERV 14 filters. 

The technology presents a cost-effective solution that significantly enhances HVAC performance and air quality, positioning itself as a sustainable investment for facilities dedicated to optimizing operational efficiency and environmental health. It improves motor energy consumption by up to 45%, while also enhancing air quality and reducing operational costs in HVAC systems.

The technology owner is actively seeking collaboration partners for research and development, as well as opportunities for test-bedding within the HVAC systems field to enhance indoor air quality.

TECHNOLOGY FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
