- EcoAir AVS inactivates virus particles utilizing warmth
- Conventional purifiers seize, slightly than inactivating, dangerous microbes
- EcoAir’s claims have been independently verified by a scientific analysis firm
We’re all accustomed to air purifiers, however air care equipment model EcoAir has apparently gone one higher, launching what it claims is the world’s first air sterilizer. The EcoAir Anti-Covid AVS can apparently get rid of viruses and micro organism – together with colds, flu, and (you guessed it) Covid – from the air.
At present’s greatest air purifiers can solely seize virus particles, not inactivate them – is that this new strategy your new greatest protection agains seasonal bugs? I obtained in contact with EcoAir co-founder and CEO Noel Fok to study precisely the way it works.
“A virus just isn’t a dwelling organism, so it might probably’t be killed. Nevertheless, it may be inactivated or destroyed by publicity to warmth,” Fok explains. “The EcoAir AVS air sterilizer eliminates 99.9% of viruses by eradicating them from the air, passing them by Thermo-Clear tech, which reaches a core temperature of over 200C [392F], inactivating the dangerous microbes.”
He provides: “AVS will kill Micro organism as a result of it’s a dwelling organism, by the identical publicity to Thermo-Clear know-how. In each instances the dangerous microbes are disintegrated by the warmth and never launched again into the air.”
These claims have been independently examined and verified by MRIGlobal – a analysis group centered on well being and security improvements.
Additionally notable is how rapidly this ‘air sterilizer’ works. It could get rid of airborne viruses and micro organism in a single go, and does so just about immediately, in simply 0.01 seconds. Lab exams from MRIGlobal discovered the EcoAir AVS might inactivate 99.9% of viruses in a 30m³ room in 90 minutes.
The way forward for air purifiers?
I additionally requested Fok to clarify extra about the advantages of the EcoAir AVS compared to a daily air air purifier. “Conventional air purifiers seize microbes and retailer them by using HEPA filters, which have to be modified, incurring extra bills,” he advised me. “Inactivating the virus destroys it, that means it can’t infect a dwelling organism and turn into energetic, inflicting sickness.”
The EcoAir AVS does have a filter, however it’s reusable and does not have to be modified that frequently. The nano silver filter must be washed each two weeks, and EcoAir suggests it is changed yearly.
There are additionally different, present strategies of destroying viruses and micro organism, though they’re considerably slower than EcoAir AVS’s 0.01-second course of. ION techniques take round 30 seconds and UV-C takes 9 seconds, as an illustration.
Whereas the sensible outcomes of this equipment are just like that of a great air air purifier, Fok’s claims that the AVS represents “an enormous breakthrough, not just for EcoAir however for the trade as an entire” might show correct. The brand new course of definitely appears extra thorough and environment friendly, and it is not considerably dearer than a great air air purifier both – the EcoAir Anti-Covid AVS is at the moment obtainable to purchase from the EcoAir web site, priced at £349.98 (it is not at the moment obtainable within the US or Australia, however that is equal to round $430 / AU$700). May this be the brand new know-how that adjustments the best way we purify air?
