Technology
What is in the Winix AM80 HEPA Air Purifier?
1. Washable Fine Mesh Pre-Filter
This first line of defense collects pet hair, dander and the largest particles.
2. Washable Advanced Odor Control (AOC) Carbon Filter
Activated granular carbon effectively reduces VOCs which are responsible for odours, including odours caused by cigarette smoke, pets and cooking.
3. True HEPA Filter
Captures 99.99% of particles and impurities as small as 0.003 microns including smoke, dust, pollen, bacteria, microbials, mould spores, and pet dander.
5. PlasmaWave Technology
In the final stages of cleaning, the PlasmaWave generator produces negative oxygen and positively charged hydrogen ions (the same as when sunlight interacts with water in nature as proven by testing!) that combine with airborne water vapours. This “Nature-Cleaning” plasma showers your environment and instantly neutralizes viruses and bacteria, many chemical organics, odours and gases in the air without producing ozone.
What is PlasmaWave Technology and What Does it Do?
Winix PlasmaWave™ proactively seeks out and deactivates airborne pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, and chemical vapours (VOCs), as well as common household odours caused by pets, tobacco smoke, and cooking.
The active component of Winix Air Purification Systems is the PlasmaWave ions. This is a revolutionary technology for cleaning microbial organisms and odours from the air. By creating a positive hydrogen and negative oxygen ion shower in a medium sized area, your Winix purifier is able to actively seek out and inactivate most airborne microbes, including viruses, bacteria, mould spores, germs, fungi, and other odour causing substances. It is even effective against many of the noxious components contained in cigarette smoke. This is how it works:
Airborne allergens are naturally sought out and surrounded by the PlasmaWave (oxygen and hydrogen) ions:
The PlasmaWave ions then combine with water molecules in the air and rearrange to form hydroxyl (oxygen combined with hydrogen but negatively charged) ions:
The hydroxyls in nature will reform water. In order to do so, they will remove a hydrogen ion from the allergen. This natural process renders the allergen inactive! This is why Winix PlasmaWave purifiers are able to actively seek out and destroy microbial allergens and many odours unlike any other technology:
Unlike traditional technology that relies on capturing an allergen in a filter, the active PlasmaWave will deactivate a dust mite allergen, for example, right at your pillow where you are asleep!
Winix is proud to fund research and partner with Drexel University Plasma Institute. The Drexel Plasma Institute is a multi-disciplinary research center coordinating the efforts of professors in engineering, medicine, biomedical engineering, and arts and sciences. The Institute is working on new plasma approaches to material treatment, fuel conversion, environmental control and medical applications, as well as fundamental and applied research into new and nontraditional areas of plasma and combustion science. Purahome is impressed that Institute research is also supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Air Force, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the National Science Foundation, as well as by industrial partners.
Elsewhere, Environment Canada, NASA, Oxford University, University of Guelph, University of Toronto and Queen’s University are researching plasma.
