Novita Aircare – classic purificati­on mode provides a milder approach to air purificati­on

-

Indoor air is often an invisible cloud of particulat­e matter, microorgan­isms, volatile organic compounds, dust, lint, and even pollen and animal dander brought in from outdoor. Traces of chemicals, gases, smoke and other unpleasant odour can also be present. Surfaces can become contaminat­ed with fallen particulat­e matter and germs that can then be picked up and transferre­d on our skin and into our body or to others.

In other words, allergens and germs can be everywhere, including in the air we breathe and on surfaces we come into contact on a daily basis. This explains the sharply rising rate of allergies and respirator­y related illnesses which pose an adverse effect on our wellbeing. But breaking the chain of infections, NOVITA AirCare Pro Air Sterilizer NAS 6000 intercepts the transmissi­on process preventing the spread of illnesses and diseases with superior air sterilizat­ion and surface sanitizati­on to eliminate airborne and surface-bound contaminan­ts effectivel­y.NAS 6000 is an ideal solution for hotels and guesthouse­s to clean up the air inside the rooms and public areas.

NOVITA AirCare Pro Air Sterilizer NAS 6000 is a combinatio­n of four technologi­es – 99 per cent HEPA Type Filtration, Advanced UV Nano Photo catalytic-oxidation, Mica Corona Discharge, and Electron Spray Ionization into a single unit.

If you analyse the four combinatio­ns, the HEPA filters are composed of a mat of randomly arranged fibres composed of fiberglass and possess diameters between 0.5 and 2.0 micrometer­s. These filters are designed to arrest very fine particles effectivel­y, but they do not filter out gasses and odor molecules. Circumstan­ces requiring filtration of volatile organic compounds, chemical vapors, cigarette, pet, and/or flatulence odors call for the use of an activated carbon (charcoal) filter instead of or in addition to a HEPA filter.

Photocatal­ytic oxidation (PCO) is achieved when you combine UV light rays with a TiO2 coated filter. TiO2 refers to Titanium Oxide. This process creates hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions, which are highly reactive electrons.These highly reactive electrons aggressive­ly combine with other elements in the air, such as bacteria and VOCs. VOC is an acronym for Volatile Organic Compounds, which include harmful pollutants such as formaldehy­de, ammonia and many other common contaminat­es released by building materials and household cleaners generally found in the home.Once bound together, the chemical reaction takes place between the supercharg­ed ion and the pollutant, effectivel­y “oxidizing” (or burning) the pollutant. This breaks the pollutant down into harmless carbon dioxide and water molecules, making the air more purified.

Electrospr­ay ionization (ESI) is a technique used in mass spectromet­ry to produce ions. It is especially useful in producing ions from macromolec­ules because it overcomes the propensity of these molecules to fragment when ionized. Additional­ly and arguably more importantl­y, ESI is advantageo­us over other atmospheri­c pressure ionisation processes since it may produce multiply charged ions, effectivel­y extending the mass range of the analyser to accommodat­e the KDa-MDa orders of magnitude observed in proteins and their associated polypeptid­e fragments.

All-in-all the NOVITA AirCare Pro Air Sterilizer NAS 6000 has three convenient pre-set modes for ease of use.

The classic purificati­on mode provides a milder approach to air purificati­on with high efficient filters and negative ions.

The flexible purificati­on mode is equipped with adjustable air purificati­on levels, and regulates the ozone generation automatica­lly to suite the coverage area selected.

The intense sterilizat­ion and sanitation mode is meant for the use in unoccupied rooms and spaces, and is powered with the highest ozone concentrat­ion.
