What is an Air Ionizer?

An air ionizer is a small device that generates energized ions using an electrical current. Some ionizers specifically generate negatively or positively charged ions (unipolar ions). The ion generators used in the products offered by EnviroWell Health generate both positive and negative ions (bipolar ions). Either way, these energized ions spend their short lives seeking molecules with an opposing electrical charge. As the bond occurs, the particle matter becomes too heavy to stay airborne and inactivates the microorganism immediately.

 

What is a Needle Point Bipolar Ionizer?

A Needle Point Bipolar (NPBI) air ionizer is a module that generates ions in a flowing air stream. The moving air disperses ions throughout a room as it follows this air stream but cleaning an air ionizer module is essential for it to function optimally. Imagine air moving through two goalposts where the wind moves through the center. Particles in the air can accumulate on the two goalposts, which causes a buildup of sediment on the surfaces of ionizing wire filaments. This accumulation reduces the ion output and changes the balance between generated positive and negative ions produced by electrodes.

 

Keeping these goalposts clean and free of particle buildup is essential!

 

Several competitive devices on the market require conventional cleaning methods for the pointed or needle-like ionizing goal posts (a.k.a electrodes). The standard method includes manual cleaning of the brushes before the particle buildup becomes excessive. Unfortunately, in many cases, the end users are unaware of this requirement or cannot perform the maintenance regularly because the ionizer is not readily accessible. In time, this neglect can destroy the unit.

 

In other words, if you are not intentionally cleaning the goalpost brushes, the ionizer produces minimal ion levels, reducing the device’s ability to improve air quality.

The Maintenance of this ion generator was neglected to the point that it fouled out.

 

That Is Why We Use Auto Cleaning Air Ionizers.

EnviroWell Health’s technology employs an ionizer with automatically operated brushes that sweep the tips of the ionizing electrodes every three days. This is the ideal interval of time for dislodging the accumulated particles. This benefits our customers in many ways.

Maintain Optimal Performance

The self-cleaning design ensures ongoing peak performance without you having to remember or put it on a maintenance schedule to do it manually. The AirShield 120 is powered by a Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) air ionizer. It is designed to be a long-term indoor air quality investment, not requiring ongoing manual maintenance or replacing expensive parts every year or two like other marketed devices.

Accessible Servicing

In the unlikely event that years of use require parts replacement, the ion emitters (fiber brushes) used in our units are designed to be replaced easily. This keeps your cost-of-service ratio and cost of ownership low.

Essential Time Savings

This is one less thing your team must do in their routine maintenance procedures. Even though the cleaning process on standard ionizers is quick, there are other, far more important things your team can do with their time.

 

Our solutions use the best-in-class options for your facility’s biosecurity. You Deserve the best!
