Westinghouse offers a indoor air quality equipment that can be installed on new or existing HVAC systems as well as a line of portable air purification units for different sized rooms. These units are designed to target indoor air pollutants such as mold, dust, pollen, chemicals, pet dander and tobacco smoke.
Portable Indoor Air Purifiers
Westinghouse produces three portable air filtration units that are ideal for single rooms, workshops and offices. They boast a “whisper-quiet technology” and the unit itself occupies very little space. Contaminated air passes through a pre-filter, a HEPA filter, a carbon filter, a bacterial prevention filter and a complex silicon filter that absorbs kitchen odors.
HVAC Whole House Air Cleaners
Westinghouse makes a line of indoor air quality products designed to be attached directly to the HVAC units in commercial and residential properties. They can be installed either as a retrofit or as part of a new energy-efficient home unit.
Westinghouse’s Dual Air Cleaning system uses a HEPA filter to clean the dirty air as it enters the HVAC unit from the main vents. This filtered air is deflected into an Electrostatic Media Air Cleaner which removes additional airborne pollutants. By that time the air enters the furnace or air handler, it has had 99.9% of particulates down to 0.3 microns in size removed from the air stream. This greatly enhances the performance and lifetime of the HVAC unit while providing clean air to the entire house — which prevents a buildup of mold and mildew — and many other airborne contaminants that trigger respiratory issues and cause deterioration of structures.
The Westinghouse In-Duct Air Purifier uses the Sanuvox High Efficiency UV system which has a “Turbulator” to slow the air as it moves over a UV “J” Lamp. This dramatically increases the ultra violet lights’ ability to kill harmful contaminants in the airstream. They are installed inside HVAC ducts and activated when the ventilation fan switches on, although they are designed to run 24 hours a day. The only maintenance required is replacing the lamp.
