How iWave Reduces Pollutants From The Airstream
Floating particles, made up of allergens from outside, viruses, and pathogens, to name a few, make up the irritants in our air that cause health issues. These particles all carry a positive or negative charge. In order to have the ability to capture them, we need to make them larger. We can do this by way of bi-polar ionization, a patented technology that iWave uses. When millions of oppositely charged ions are emitted per second into the duct system’s air stream, the ions will seek out particles of an opposite charge and attach to them. As this happens, in the instance of the Covid-19 virus, the ions clump and begin to break down the energy source, hydrogen, from the virus, and begin to degrade it, ultimately rendering it inactive. While this process may take several hours to kill a virus or pathogen, during the clumping process, the particle can become large enough to be caught by an air filter or fall from the air. Either way, routine surface cleanings and periodic filter changes will remove these particles and reduce exposure, as well as promote healthier buildings. Here’s a visualization of how iWave works to reduce allergens in the air:
