A new Steril-Zone room air purifier that uses an innovative three-stage process to clean the air in rooms up to 1,000 sq. ft. is now available to HVAC professionals from Steril-Aire. Safe and ozone-free, the portable air purifier is the first to incorporate the company’s multi-patented and award-winning UVC Emitter.

The UVC lamp eliminates infectious organisms more successfully than air purifiers without UV lamps – even those with HEPA filters, which have only limited effectiveness against viruses, the tiniest of parasites. The compact but powerful unit also reduces or eliminates symptoms of allergies, asthma and other maladies triggered by biological contaminants and VOCs. It is ideal for houses, apartments, condos, offices, waiting rooms, schools, day care and senior facilities, and hotel rooms. A commercial-grade quiet fan moves the air at 250 cfm with an air exchange rate of up to five changes per hour in an average room, providing the air flow needed to achieve optimum purification. This superior air movement enables the unit to exceed the cleaning capacity of most room air purifiers. One Steril-Zone air cleaner can do the job of two or three competitive products, saving money and energy.

The three-stage air cleaning unit is concealed from view until it is time for replacement, typically after one year. Changeout is quickly accomplished by taking out the old filter unit and dropping in the new one, replacing all three components (particulate filter, carbon filter and UVC lamp) at once. There is no need for tools, no washing of filters, and no complicated disassembly or servicing of separate components. With a lightweight, attractive, neutral-colored design that blends with any décor and just 13.5" W x 15" D x 21" H (5.3 cm x 5.9 cm x 8.27 cm) in size, the product carries a 5-year limited warranty and operates on 120-volt, single-phase power, reveals the company’s press release.
