EnviroSept Air Cleaner: Product Test Data
Air filter manufacturers have their products independently
tested in order to validate claims of performance. Industry wide, the ASHRAE
Test Standard is the method of choice for most types of air filters.
The ASHRAE test standards are not specifically designed for
any one type of air cleaning device, but at the same time, do not entirely address
the variety of air filtering devices and the multitude of applications in which
they are used. Filters are designed to capture and hold larger airborne particulate.
These tests are designed to measure the total amount of dust holding capacity
for a given filter.
Test data helps you make the best possible product choice
for your air filtration needs. Unlike the standard ASHRAE tests performed on
standard disposable filters, efficiency tests were conducted on the EnviroSept
air cleaner for the removal of sub-micron particulate. It is a given that if
you can remove the sub-micron particulate, the larger particulate is not a challenge.
The following reports summarize by particle size the total
number of particles counted in a cubic centimeter. The tests, which lasted from
ten to twenty minutes, show the dramatic reduction in total particles as they
are counted at the start of the test and every two minutes thereafter. After
only twenty minutes, the equivalent of two air exchanges, the "EnviroSept"
removed over 45% of particles in the (0.09 to 0.5 range) and over 77% of the
particles in the (.5 to 1.0) micron range. The heating/cooling systems in most
homes normally provide for at least five air exchanges per hour.
This testing clearly demonstrates the high efficiency of the
EnviroSept Electronic Air Cleaner and what it may do for you in your home.
