Is a filterless air purifier equal to the hype?

by

Is a filterless air purifier equal to the hype? Is a filterless air purifier right for you? Would you like to know more about the limitations of filterless purifiers before you make your final decision?

I understand that you sincerely want to make a good decision when it comes to your family’s health. Shouldn’t you have as complete an understanding of the facts as possible? The marketing behind filterless air cleaners can be very compelling. However, like all marketing, it can be very biased, presenting only the most favorable information for their products. Often, real and imagined “deficiencies” of competitors are exaggerated well beyond what is reasonable. This is certainly the case when it comes to “no filter” air purifiers. In one advertisement after another you find air cleaners based on varied technologies proclaiming “no filter replacement”.

Oh, how difficult it must be changing filters, since the filter free purifiers insist on how you need no tools.

Oh, how messy filters must be to replace, they imply as they show some poor woman gagging on dust.

Oh, how expensive filter replacement must be, with some vendors quoting costs in the thousands. But is a filterless air purifier really the ideal solution to your air quality problems?

What are your filterless air purifier choices and how do they work?

Allow me to introduce you to the primary technologies found in filterless air cleaners:

  • Electrostatic precipitators(often called ionics by vendors)
  • Ion generators (the true ionic cleaner)
  • Ozone generators
  • Photocatalytics
  • Plasmacluster ionics

The electrostatic precipitator

The electrostatic precipitator charges particles in the air and then uses a series of collector plates with an opposite charge to attract the particles to the plates. It is possible for particles as small as 0.1 micron to be collected this way.

The ion generator

True ionizers simply emit ions into the air. These attach to airborne particles and cause them to aggregate into clumps until they fall to the floor or stick to walls, draperies, or furniture. While these filterless air purifiers help clear the air the dirt is not removed permanently.

The ozone generator

Ozone generators purposefully have ozone emissions that push the limits of what is considered acceptable for human exposure. The claim is that ozone destroys particles and gases and odors and that it is healthful to breathe. The scientific consensus is that such claims are completely false. This is the position the US Environmental Protection Agency and Federal Trade Commission take. Until the law is strengthened, these devices will continue to be marketed as air cleaners and continue to do harm.

The photocatalytics

Plasmacluster Ions

A new technology developed by Sharp. These ions are drawn to airborne contaminants like bacteria and viruses by their electrical charge. The ions surround the contaminant and form hydroxyl radicals that ultimately destroy the contaminant. This technology has been proven effective against biological pollutants like mold, pollen, viruses and bacteria as well as chemical and particulate contaminants. But this technology is also generally combined with filtration.

What are the top ten drawbacks of filterless air purifiers?

  1. Low efficiency. Scientific evidence indicates that home ozone generators are all but zero percent capable of cleaning the air. The best models of electrostatic precipitators only achieve about 80% efficiency at particle removal. Ion generators have some effect but precise measurements are hard to come by, and besides, any particles they help settle out of the air are easily disturbed and reintroduced into the air. Photocatalytic and plasmacluster air cleaners work best on only the smallest of particles.
  2. Rapid loss of efficiency. Loading of electrostatic precipitator collector plates with captured particles rapidly degrades efficiency at collecting further particles. Efficiency can be reduced to below 20% in as few as three days. CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) labels on air cleaners indicate that the stated performance refers to the first 72 hours of use. This is because the voluntary testing is limited to 72 hours, primarily due to the fact that manufacturers know their products cannot sustain high efficiency. Ozone generators are worthless to begin with. Ion generators can suffer from corrosion and contamination of electrode pins and wires, reducing their ability to generate ions. Similar contamination buildup on the semiconductor plate of photocatalytics can reduce effectiveness.
  3. Constant maintenance. The rapid reduction in collection efficiency due to electrostatic precipitator plate loading requires regular maintenance cleaning. From twice a week to daily is recommended, depending on the environment. This sounds like a lot of work for the “benefit” of a “no maintenance”, “no filter replacement” filterless air purifier. Ion generators also need regular maintenance of their electrodes, cleaning them with an alcohol swab.
  4. Reduction in efficiency over life of unit. Even with regular maintenance cleaning, collection efficiency will degrade due to deposits that simply cannot be removed. This is an even greater problem when cleaning is not regular. This degrading over the life of the unit can effect all filterless air cleaner technologies.
  5. Short life. Corrosion of the ionizing wire or needlepoint ionizing pins, electrical failures of the high voltage systems, and other problems can lead to product failure. Hence, warranties of filter free air purifiers tend to be far shorter than the five to ten years available on better quality HEPA air purifiers.
  6. Ozone production. Electrostatic precipitators and ozone generators produce ozone, a hazardous gas that damages the tissues of the airways causing increased sensitization to allergens, difficulty breathing for asthmatics, and possible severe respiratory distress. Photocatalytic and plasmacluster air cleaners are ozone free.
  7. Limited area due to low airflow. The need for ionized particles to spend sufficient time in the air electrostatic precipitators to be charged and then deflected onto the collection plates means air speed must be low. This limits the amount of clean air that can be delivered by the units. Likewise other filterless air purifier systems also tend to demonstrate much lower clean air delivery than can be achieved by a good HEPA filter air purifier. Of course, clean air delivery for an ozone generator is essentially zero, especially since ozone is itself a pollutant.
  8. No effect on gaseous contaminants. Chemical toxins, mold mycotoxins, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, the hundreds of chemicals in cigarette smoke all pass through an electrostatic precipitators unaffected. Ion generators likewise have no effect on chemical pollutants. Ozone generators, while marketed as being able to destroy these contaminants have consistently failed to do so in scientific studies. What is more, breakdown products of ozone oxidized contaminants have been shown to be more toxic than the original pollutants and more numerous. Photocatalytic and plasmacluster air purifiers do show excellent promise in handling chemical contaminants.
  9. Black wall effect / Black lung. Ionized particles created with an ion generator will collect on walls, furniture, or any available surface. This includes the inside surface of your lungs. This effect has been given a name. It’s called the black wall effect. The EPA has noted the health hazard of negatively charged respirable particles adhering to your lung tissues. See: Possible effects of particle charging
  10. Arbitrary pricing serves as no guide. Testing often shows that high priced filterless air purifiers may perform no better or even worse than cheaper models. Consumer Reports has periodically tested a number of the market leaders in this category and given them poor ratings due to inadequate performance and ozone production. Quality of materials and construction, durability, and effectiveness do not seem to play a consistent role in pricing. Rather, it seems the basis for price is simply what the market will bear and what their advertising budget can convince people to pay for the promise of clean air.

Are there filterless air purifier alternatives?

It’s very understandable to want an air purifier that is effective, reasonable in cost, low maintenance, and has low long term cost of ownership. That’s why a filterless air purifier appeals to so many.

The idea of “filter free” seems to solve maintenance and long term cost issues. Unfortunately, this isn’t really the case, and effectiveness tends to also be sacrificed. Plus, the initial cost of these air cleaners can often equal that of a good HEPA air cleaner.

There are better alternatives to “no filter” air purifiers that really can be reasonable in total cost and easy to live with. Allerair air purifiers and Austin Air air purifiers are two that stand out.

These two manufacturers both offer a variety of models that are reasonable in initial cost, use filters that last up to five years and are economical and easy to replace with no tools.

Should you consider an air ionizer?

by

Should you consider an air ionizer? One of the most confusing terms in the field of air purification is the air ionizer. In one advertisement after another we find air cleaning devices with widely varied technologies claiming to ionize the air. So just exactly what are we talking about when we use the term “air ionizer”.

The one thing that all these air cleaning devices have in common is they are a form of electronic air purifier. Electronic air purifiers use a high voltage wiring system to create an electrical charge that results in particulates passing through becoming negatively charged.

But after that the similarity ends and a whole host of differences begin to show up. Some use collector plates and some don’t. Some have a fan and others don’t. Some use a charged media filter and others use various mechanical filters including HEPA type filtration. Some use the ionization potential to deliberately create ozone and some attempt to reduce ozone byproducts with catalysts. Finally, there are the hybrids that mix and match approaches, sometimes including as many as five different technologies.

It’s no wonder that comparing air ionizer air cleaners is confusing. How can you know what is effective? Are there any that should definitely be avoided?

The vast field of products renders it ridiculously difficult to evaluate air ionizers individually. However, it is possible to break down the basic technological approaches used and determine if any one or combination is worthwhile.

The primary technologies found in air ionizer devices are:

  • The electrostatic precipitator
  • The negative ion generator
  • The ozone generator

Each of these receives a brief overview below.

The electrostatic precipitator

The electrostatic precipitator uses a series of collector plates with a charge opposite that of the ionized particles. This results in a powerful electrostatic attraction that pulls the particles to the plates like a magnet.

It is possible for particles as small as 0.1 micron to be collected this way. Since this is smaller than the 0.3 micron rating of HEPA filters you will sometimes see claims that these devices are better than HEPA. However, it must be pointed out that even the best electrostatic precipitators are only 80% efficient. Compare this to the 99.97% efficiency of a HEPA filter.

Apart from the poor initial collection efficiency is the additional flaw that the plates progressively lose efficiency as material is collected. Research shows that in as few as three days you can lose as much as 80% of the collection efficiency of clean plates. This means your electrostatic precipitator will only be attracting about 20% of the particles passing through it. Regular maintenance cleaning is an absolute necessity. At a minimum, the collection plates should be cleaned twice a week and every day would be best in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

On a final note, electrostatic precipitators will produce ozone in sufficient quantities to be an irritant to many people, especially those with pulmonary related illnesses like asthma.

The negative ion generator negative ionizer no collector and brief faults

The ozone generatorozone generator and faults

Eleven ways air ionizers underperform

  1. Low efficiency. Even the best models only achieve 80% efficiency at particle removal. They are unable to clean the air to HEPA standards.
  2. Rapid loss of efficiency. Loading of collector plates with captured particles rapidly degrades efficiency at collecting further particles. Efficiency can be reduced to below 20% in as few as three days.
  3. Constant maintenance. The rapid reduction in collection efficiency due to plate loading requires regular maintenance cleaning. From twice a week to daily is recommended, depending on the environment.
  4. Reduction in efficiency over life of unit. Even with regular maintenance cleaning, collection efficiency will degrade as constant bombardment from high energy ions corrodes the needlepoint ionizers or ionizing wire.
  5. Short life. Corrosion of the ionizing wire or needlepoint ionizing pins by ion bombardment will result in failure of the air ionizer. Hence, short warranties.
  6. Ozone production. All air ionizers produce ozone, a hazardous gas that damages the tissues of the airways causing increased sensitization to allergens, difficulty breathing for asthmatics, and possible severe respiratory distress.
  7. Limited coverage area. Government regulations on ozone exposure levels effectively requires manufacturers to balance the ionization potential of their units against the level of ozone produced. This serves to limit the area an ionizer can effectively clean. This means that you must buy multiple units to achieve the same coverage area as a single HEPA purifier may be capable of handling.
  8. Limited area, part II. Low air flow. The need for ionized particles to spend sufficient time in the air ionizer to be deflected onto the collection plates means air speed must be slow. Thus, air ionizers often use no fan or a low speed fan. Low air flow means low air volume handled by the unit and thus significant limitations on the size of the area that can be cleaned. Again, you must buy several units to achieve the coverage of a single HEPA air purifier.
  9. No effect on gaseous contaminants. Chemical toxins, mold mycotoxins, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, the hundreds of chemicals in cigarette smoke all pass through an air ionizer unaffected.
  10. Black wall effect / Black lung. Ionized particles not collected on plates in the electrostatic precipitator or by design with a negative ion generator will instead collect on walls, furniture, or any available surface. This includes the inside surface of your lungs. This effect has been given a name. It’s called the black wall effect. The health hazard of negatively charged respirable particles adhering to your lung tissues has been noted by the EPA. See: Possible effects of particle charging
  11. Arbitrary pricing serves as no guide. Testing often shows that high priced models may perform no better or even worse than cheaper ones. Quality of materials and construction, durability, and effectiveness do not seem to play a consistent role in pricing. Rather, it seems the basis for price is simply what the market will bear for the promise of clean air. This situation is often pointed out by the sellers of air ionizers themselves.

Why Choose Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers?

by

Do the Allerair smoking area air purifiers offer you advantages you won’t find in other products?

Admittedly, finding an air purifier to remove tobacco smoke in the home, in bars, restaurants or other indoor environments can be especially difficult. Most devices sold as home smoke eaters are simply not up to the task of cigarette smoke removal.

Those relying on electrostatic precipitator plates rapidly lose effectiveness as the plates load with tobacco smoke particles and they have no effect at all on the gases that are responsible for tobacco smoke odor.

Ozone generators have no effect on particles, minimal effect on smoke odor due to the low concentrations of ozone that are considered “safe”, and actually may increase your health problems due to the damage ozone can do to lung tissues.

Other air purifiers claiming to be smoke eaters offer activated carbon as a method of smoke odor removal. While this is the right idea, since activated carbon certainly works, they only provide a few token ounces of carbon impregnated into a thin foam mesh.

For these reasons looking for an air purifier for cigarette smoke removal is like looking for a needle in a haystack. While many products claim to be a smokers air cleaner most perform poorly if at all.

Why I Recommend Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers

If you’re looking for an air purifier to remove tobacco smoke you need one that can adequately handle both the particulate and gaseous components of tobacco smoke.

My own personal recommendation is for you to consider the Allerair smoking area air purifiers. Allerair has developed well over one hundred models of air purifiers for home, commercial, and industrial use – more than any other in the world. As a company dedicated to the air purification needs of medicine, industry, businesses, and the home they have expertise that cannot be matched by mass-market merchandisers.

Turning their attention to the need to remove tobacco smoke faced by many of their customers they developed innovative products you simply won’t find anywhere else.

The Allerair smoking area air purifiers have a patented tar trapping pre-filter that acts to remove the heavy tars in tobacco smoke before they reach the rest of the filter media.

The smoke laden air then passes through a deep bed of granular activated carbon, custom blended to have enhanced adsorption properties against the chemicals found in tobacco smoke. This bed may be from 15 to 160 pounds of activated carbon, depending on the model. H

High quality true HEPA filters complete the process by eliminating smoke particles from the air.

If you’re looking for a smokers air cleaner Allerair offers the most effective cigar and cigarette smoke removal available.

The Allerair smoking area air purifiers succeed like no other.

The Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers

Allerair 4000 DS

These air purifiers are specially designed smokers units, which feature a unique pre-filter.

The unit also features a micro-wrap filter to deal with small particles as small as the ash and a 3″ extra-deep, 12 pound activated carbon bed. Carbon filters are the only effective way of filtration for removing the odors of tobacco smoke. Tobacco smoke and odors are most effectively trapped when your air purifier is set on low speed.

The Allerair 4000 DXS offers a 3.5″ extra-deep, 15 pound, carbon bed which increases dwell time, allowing more chemicals, gases and odors to be absorbed.

Allerair 5000 DS

The 5000 series models are by far the most popular of all Allerair’s air purifiers. Larger than the 4000 series the Allerair 5000 DS includes an extra-deep 22 pound carbon filter which increases dwell time, allowing more chemicals, gases and odors to be absorbed.

The Allerair 5000 DS Vocarb model also has the extra-deep 22 pound carbon filter. The activated carbon in the DS Vocarb has received additional treatments to enhance it’s effectiveness against a wide range of volatile organic compounds.

The Allerair DS Vocarb model provides the most comprehensive protection against airborne chemicals and odors.

The Allerair 5000 DS UV features a 10 Watt Ultraviolet lamp to sterilize airborne antigens and pathogens like mold, bacteria, and viruses as well as the same air filtration system as the 5000 DS model.

The Allerair 5000 DXS models have an activated carbon bed that is even deeper than the DS models at 3.5″ and 28 pounds increasing the air purifiers abilty to adsorb chemicals, gases and odors even more.

The Allerair 5000 DXS UV is the same as above but also features a 10 Watt Ultraviolet lamp to sterilize airborne antigens and pathogens like mold, bacteria, and viruses.

Allerair 6000 DS

The Allerair 6000 DS air purifiers feature the same high quality filtration as the previous air purifiers but in an even larger package. This allows the use of even more carbon for tobacco smoke removal The unit comes with a 3 inch extra-deep, 28 pound carbon filter.

The Allerair 6000 DXS air purifiers feature an even deeper, 3.5 inch, 36 pound carbon filter.

Allerair 9400 Ceiling Mount Air Purifier

Allerair also offers ceiling mounted air purifiers for heavy duty use in bars and restaurants where smoke and odors are the main concerns.

Customizable for different applications the Allerair 9400 units are successfully used in homes as central air purifiers by connecting directly into your HVAC ducts.

Save energy and help protect the environment by cleaning and recirculating the heated indoor air instead of exhausting it. Application specific carbon blends for controlling over 4000 specific chemicals are available.

The 9400 model comes with a 360 cfm rated fan, the 9450 model has a 560 cfm rated fan, and the 9475 model has 735 cfm rated fan.

All models offer several filtration options.

Option one is a 1 inch particle trap pre-filter to capture large particles and a pleated post filter with an additional 2 inch true HEPA filter and 15 pounds of special carbon for chemicals, gases and odors.

Option two is to double the amount of activated carbon to a total of 30 pounds.

Option three is 15 pounds of MAC-B special carbon and a bag filter.

Why Use Allerair Smoking Area Air Purifiers?

Activated carbon which is one of the main filtration components of the Allerair smoking area air purifiers is the only known media proven to effectively remove the effects of tobacco smoke long after the active smoking ceased.

Dangerous substances, compounds of tobacco smoke (benzene, toluene, arsenic, nicotine, cyanide, trichlorethylene…) lingering on the walls, drapes or furniture are being released as the air circulates through the room.

Recirculating a continuous flow of air, at low speed (400 CFM) through an activated carbon filter allows it to be properly cleaned of these pollutants.

Allerair includes specially formulated activated carbon in order to create a really powerful air purifier dedicated to control tobacco smoke at all times.

Air Cleaner Pre Filter What Does It Do

by

Summary

The air cleaner pre filter traps large particles entering the purifier protecting the purifier and extending the life of HEPA filters and other internal components.

More Detail

A pre filter is made to keep large particles and debris from entering the air purifier. This could include hair, dust, pet fur, and other larger particles. Without a pre filter these larger particles would clog HEPA or other filters faster and causes them to be less effective. In other models that do not utilize filters, the pre filter keeps the inside of the machine cleaner and functioning better. Some air purifiers are designed to be easy to clean or require less cleaning, but the addition of a prefilter still can help minimize this cleaning.

Some pre filters are reusable and can be vacuumed or rinsed and then put back to work. The majority however are replacement filters and need to be checked and replaced as frequently as necessary. Each purifier is different and some replaceable filters life can be extended with a quick vacuuming.

“BIG” particles are a fact of life and a pre filter makes sense in almost 100% of applications.

In-Depth Reference(s)

no additional reference material – basic technology

Buying Considerations:

If a purifier has no prefilter, make sure to check out how this model operates. If it is a unit with a HEPA filter, the life of the HEPA filter will no doubt be shortened. This means more cost to you (HEPA filters tend to be more expensive than pre filters). If it is a filterless type of technology, you may need to clean the purifier more often or expect a shortened life span of the internal components without a pre filter.

If your air purifier has a washable or cleanable pre-filter, realize that this may be a generous cost savings.

If your air purifier has replaceable pre filters, know the life expectancy and the cost to replace them.

Model: Air Oasis 3000 UV

Rating Score: 75/100 points

Summary

I like the rugged, simple design of this purifier. The quality is evident and the materials are good (very little plastic). It has good cleaning ability for smells, gases, VOCs, and basic microorganisms. Not as effective on particle removal. Low maintenance and low maintenance costs are also pluses. I would consider this purifier for larger spaces that are not too dusty or where the focus is on smells, gases, VOCs, and basic microorganisms. The company offers a mold test and has good claims for airborne mold reduction.

Summary

The Air Oasis 9″ Induct ACT is a good idea with a few challenges. The challenges occur when using the HVAC. Challenge #1 is that no particle removal is done by Induct ACT. Because the HVAC ducts are metal, ionization does not work. Challenge #2 is that most HVAC systems run only part of the time. To combat these challenges, it is recommended that the Induct ACT be used in conjunction with another particle removing purifier and that a slow speed control be added to the HVAC that runs the HVAC fan at a low speed conserving energy, but distributing the cleaning power regularly. Some installation is required.

Basic Specifications

The 9″ Induct ACT is designed for use in a space up to 1000+ sqft. They have larger models. The Induct ACT purifier is “active technology” as the purifier extends the cleaning out into the home or business by using the air flow of the HVAC system. This purifier will not work in homes without HVAC. The 9″ Induct ACT uses a UV Cell with Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation technology. There is a 3-year warranty.

It can remove 99.97% of airborne particles in the air even those as small as 0.3 microns ensuring that you breathe only quality air. Its carbon filter prevents that growth of bacteria, viruses, and germs on the filter ensuring that it can deliver quality air as long as it’s operational.
