Air Filter Facts
- Most heating and cooling systems are equipped with a standard 1-inch air
filter. People often think this filter is cleaning the air, but it is really
the to keep debris like pet hair from damaging the equipment.
- Our air cleaning technology (available in Trane CleanEffects) is 100
times more effective in cleaning the air than a standard 1-inch filter.
- HEPA ( High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are a popular choice for
cleaning the air in homes. They trap airborne particles by forcing air
through a dense mesh. Unfortunately, as these filters collect particles,
these pressure of the air flowing through them drops, meaning less air is
cleaned less effectively.
- Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is recognized by the U.S. Federal Trade
Comission (FTC), U.S> Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a fair and objective measure of
various air cleaner technologies. CleanEffects has the industry’s highest
clean air delivery rate for homes.
- In tests, our system had a CADR that was eight times more efficient than
a HEPA filter.
- A typical ionic typer air cleanes has a CADR of 10, meaning it
succesfully cleans only 10 cuubic feet of air per minute – making it just
slightly more effective than gravity.
- Our CleanEffects system, has a CADR of 1,200, beating even other
whole-house electronic air cleaners, which in tests delivered a CADR of just
660.ypical HEPA appliance delivered a CADR of just 150.
- Our breakthrough technology removes up to 99.98 % of airborne particles
passing through the filter without significantly hampering airflow. This
delivers long-lasting and consistent performance with the lowest pressure
drop and highest efficiency af any filtration system available.
- By working as apart of the home’s heating and cooling system,
CleanEffect can clean the air in an entire house. Plug-in air cleaners that
operate in a singe room can’t match this effectiveness.
