The Austin Air Cleaner uses ordinary 120 volt wall receptacles. Maximum draw is about 90 watts on high or about 1 cent per hour. It can be placed anywhere in a room, including corners, and you will still get the same excellent results. The Austin Air Cleaner should be placed in a bedroom at night with the door closed for best results.

Electrolux Air cleaner’s electrical consumption is very low. At the lowest speed, which is the speed at which the air cleaner should operate continuously, it uses 20 watts. This is equivalent to the smallest light bulb. At the middle speed it uses 30 watts and at the highest speed 70 watts. Even at its highest speed, Electrolux Air cleaner does not use any more energy than an ordinary light bulb.

Activated carbon is the best known substance for removing gases and odors. The best source of activated carbon is a coconut shell. This is what is used in the Austin Air Cleaner. It can remove up to 60% of it's weight in odors and gases. Activated carbon is the most common element in military gas masks. The Austin Air Cleaner uses a minimum of 13.5 pounds of coconut shell activated carbon and zeolite to remove odors and gases.

The entire body of the Austin Air Cleaner is solid steel, which has been welded together to prevent any rattle caused by motor vibration. The paint is a powder coating, which is baked on at 450 degrees. This process eliminates any odor or gas emissions and increases durability.

The noise level ranges from just 20 decibels to 65 decibels. Otherwise, from the level of a quiet whisper to the sound level of a normal conversation. It depends on how high you set the speed.

There are three filters. The first filter is a pre-filter (known as Permafilt ) which is a cotton cloth that lines the inside wall of the unit. The purpose of the pre-filter is to stop hair or large dust particles from clogging the HEPA filter. In the HealthMate the main filter is comprised of two filter medium: activated granular carbon/zeolite mixture and True Medical HEPA paper. In the AllergyMachine™ there is the True Medical HEPA and the military carbon cloth filter known as HEGA.

It uses an ordinary 120 volt outlet. Maximum draw is about 135 watts on the high setting or 1 cent per hour, average cost.

Snowblowers do not have air filters. Normal operating conditions are essentially dust free. Your air intake is ducted such that it is shielded from flying debris and the muffler serves to preheat intake air. Air filters would also be prone to icing.

Dynamics draw only 2 watts of energy to create the 6,000 volts inside the panel. They are very efficient and cost effective to operate. For operation, any air cleaner can only be effective if air is moving through it. Therefore in most areas, for maximum effectiveness, we recommend that your thermostat be turned to the fan "on" position rather than the "auto" position at times when you are using neither heating nor cooling such as the spring and fall.

The SE400 and SE800 are designed to run 24/7, but in most cases, they will not need to run constantly. A good practice is to turn the air cleaner(s) on high speed prior to opening time, to get a head start on air circulation ? this helps reduce the chance of your air cleaning equipment having to play "catch-up." Once patrons start rolling in, you may choose to reduce the air cleaner fan speed if high speed is not necessary.

The HealthMate unit or the AllergyMachine will clean an average bedroom in about 15 minutes with the door closed. In technical terms, they clean up to 1,500 square feet. The HealthMate Jr model cleans up to 700 square feet. (All estimates assume 8 ft. ceilings.)

The only plastic components in the air cleaner are the fan blade, wheels or feet and the control knob on the front of the unit.

A fan draws air in at the air cleaner´s lower edge, both front and back. First the air passes through a pre-filter. The largest dust particles are caught there. Then the air passes through an ionising unit where the particles are charged with positive ions. Then the air passes through the main filter, which consists of collector sheets of plastic-coated paper with positive and negative charge. A high voltage unit keeps the charge on the collector sheets constant.

No, for best results an air cleaner should run continuously, around the clock, because new dirty air is continually coming in from ventilation, for example.

None of the forced air heaters can be used without electricity. The fan on the heaters requires 110 volts AC electrical current to operate.

Most people don't know that the traditional generation of electricity is the leading cause of industrial air pollution in the U. S. Cleaner electricity" is from generation sources that produce little to no air pollution (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) and/or radioactive waste, especially when compared to traditional sources of electric generation (i.e., coal and nuclear). For example, Green Mountain Energy electricity is dramatically cleaner than typical system power.

The energy-efficient Friedrich C90B Air Cleaner uses a washable pre-filter, an Activated Carbon filter, and re-usable collector plates instead of HEPA filters. The plates trap particles like dust, dander, and pollen, while the Activated Carbon filters absorb odors and fumes and can be easily replaced. Instead of multiple filters that need frequent changes, the Friedrich C90B Air Cleaner only uses one carbon filter and a series of Collector plates that can be washed and reused whenever needed.

Trane CleanEffects™is designed to perfectly fit as a component of your total home comfort system. Unlike many air cleaners that are situated in a single room of the house, CleanEffects™is installed and operated through the same duct work that your furnace or air conditioner might use. So even though it's attractively designed, it operates out of sight of most living spaces to provide up to 99.98% cleaner air throughout your entire home.

Furnace blower pulls airborne pollen and pollutant particles into the air cleaner. The prefilter screen traps large particles. Smaller particles pass through to the charging section and receive a positive electrical charge from a series of tungsten wire s. Charged particles are then drawn into the collecting plates, which attract them like a magnet. This section holds the particles until they are washed away during periodic cell cleaning.

A device containing a filtering mechanism (filter), which is designed and used for collecting airborne impurities, such as, dusts, gases, smokes and fumes through the use of filters, electrostatic cells and/or absorbents. Typically an air cleaner has a motor blower.
