Blueair Air Purification SystemsPurify
A revolutionary combination of advanced filter media and an encapsulated ion particle charging chamber makes it possible for the Blueair air purification system to achieve better results than either technology alone. Our nontoxic polypropylene filter contains millions of ultra-thin fibers that trap tiny particles as they pass through the pleats. One of the least harmful plastics for human health and the environment, polypropylene works without outgassing or shedding irritating microscopic fibers into the air. It eliminates bacteria, viruses and mold naturally, without chemical additives. And as used filters are discarded and decompose, the filter media converts into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Particles a HEPA filter alone might miss are captured with an electrostatic charge. HEPASilent™ technology moves particles through an enclosed ion chamber, which attaches a charge to the particle itself. Charged particles cling more easily to the filter media, resulting in higher filter efficiency overall. Because most electrostatic air cleaners charge the filter media itself, the charge dissipates over time and renders the filter less efficient. By constantly charging incoming particles, instead of the filter, HEPASilent™ technology keeps on working effectively and reliably. SUPERIOR QUALITY Blueair is designed, engineered and built for people who expect the very best and don’t want to compromise on health, design or function. The Blueair system housing is made of galvanized Swedish steel, rather than less durable plastic. The fan and blower are manufactured by EBM, a maker of telecom and medical equipment. Blueair systems offer an exceptionally long product life and carry a 5-year limited warranty. BEST OF CLASS PERFORMANCE The Blueair 501 is the only air purification system whose performance has been independently ranked as well or better than 150 other air filters. Testing by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) awarded Blueair the highest Clean Air Delivery Rating in its category in April 2001. And AHAM’s impartial results are recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the American Lung Association. The Blueair 501 delivers up to 20 air changes per hour and traps 99.97% of particles at .1 micron. QUIET Sophisticated materials and precision engineering allow Blueair to clean indoor air without the noise associated with less advanced units. On the lowest setting, the units emit no more sound than a desktop computer. To achieve exceptionally quiet operation, Blueair’s patented HEPASilent™ filter technology traps particles two ways: with mechanical and electrostatic filters. This combination creates a filter system through which air flows freely. Most air cleaners require a powerful, noisy fan to pull air through densely packed filters. Since air passes easily through Blueair filter media, the fan doesn’t have to work as hard – or as loud. Even the housing is designed with quiet operation in mind, replacing sound- sonant plastic with noise-muffling steel. AWARD - WINNING SWEDISH DESIGN The union of visually pleasing form and effective function is a hallmark of Swedish design, and Blueair is no exception. Its sleek contemporary look has earned Blueair one of the most prestigious design awards in Scandinavia, the Excellent Swedish Design award. In fact, the Blueair resides in a permanent exhibit at The National Museum in Stockholm. At Blueair, we design air purification systems to meet your home’s aesthetic standards without sacrificing performance. ENERGY EFFICIENT Blueair’s phenomenally low power usage means you can run the system 24/7 without a jump in electricity consumption. In fact, it costs about the same to clean the air in your home as it does to power a single light bulb: only 15 watts on low to 80 watts on high. BETTER FOR HUMAN HEALTH Blueair is the system for people living with allergies, asthma, other respiratory conditions or cardiovascular disease. Our patented HEPASilent™ filter technology is proven effective at capturing 99.97”’o of the tiniest .1 micron particles. Nontoxic polypropylene filter fibers release neither the gases nor microscopic particles associated with traditional HEPA filter media. Because our filters are waterproof, they naturally resist contamination from bacteria, viruses and mold, without chemical additives or washes. Blueair even uses a special powder coat finish that produces no chemical outgassing. |
