Suraki-CORONA DISCHARGE ozone generator

How does the Suraki GBA-200 create ozone?


There are two types of artificial ozone generators: UV light and Corona Discharge.

UV LIGHT ozone generators work by passing air over an ultraviolet light bulb, simulating ozone production in the upper atmosphere. UV light generators require the replacement of costly UV light bulbs.

CORONA DISCHARGE ozone generators work by passing air across an electric field. This method is generally considered to be more effective than the UV light method of ozone generation, and the parts more durable and reliable. The ozone production of corona discharge units usually exceeds that of UV light units.

The Suraki GBA-200 uses the corona discharge method of ozone production, allowing its compact size while remaining effective in areas up to 300 sq. ft.

How does ozone neutralize odors and kill germs?
Being a very unstable molecule, ozone (O3) will tend to break off the third oxygen atom to form O2. The lone oxygen atom will collide with another to form more O2 molecules, or react with other molecules in the air in a process known as oxidation. This has the effect of neutralizing odor particulates and killing germs. Ozone is a highly effective decontaminant, killing germs 3,000 times faster than chlorine. However, unlike chlorine, ozone quickly dissipates into pure oxygen, leaving no harmful residual chemicals behind.

These are only a few of the common germs that can be found where you live:


Pet Germs - Suraki GBA-200 kills the following germs commonly found in pet areas:


Dogs
• Parvovirus - Viral intestinal disease in dogs. Spread through fecal matter. Can be spread through feet, hair, and contaminated objects.
• Paramyxovirus (Distemper) - Virus spread through respiratory secretions. Symptoms similar to influenza in humans (nasal discharge, puffy eyes, respiratory illness). Later stages may include damage to nervous system.
• Canine demodicosis - Mite infection. Dogs usually host small numbers of these parasites, but their immune systems usually fight off infection. Large infestation can result in mange.
• Canine scabies - Skin disease caused by mites. Symptoms include hair loss, lesions and dermatitis.

Cats
• Ear mites - Parasitic infection by mites of cats' ear canals. Symptoms include buildup of dark ear wax, similar in appearance to coffee grounds. Mites can migrate to other parts of body.
• Bordetella Bronchiseptica - Bacterium, causes "kennel cough." Could lead to pneumonia and death if untreated.


Household germs

• Dermatophytes - Fungus. Causes skin infection, such as ringworm on the scalp and body.
• E. Coli (Allergic pathogenic colon bacillus) / O-158 germ (Pathogenic Colon bacillus) - Bacteria found naturally in intestinal tract. Spread through contact with fecal matter. Can cause diarrhea and food poisoning.
• Legionella pneumophila - Causes pneumonia. Germs are spread through drinking water, but can be spread through air by dirty air conditioning
• Salmonella - Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. A small number of persons who are infected with Salmonella, will go on to develop pains in their joints, irritation of the eyes, and painful urination. This is called Reiter's syndrome. It can last for months or years, and can lead to chronic arthritis which is difficult to treat.
• Staphylococcus - Bacterial disease spread through contact or ingestion. Symptoms include toxic shock syndrome, scalded skin syndrome, food poisoning, pneumonia, meningitis, boils, arthritis, and osteomyelitis (chronic bone infection).
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Intestinal bacteria. Cause of swimmer's ear, eye infections, wound infections, and chronic lung conditions.
• Molds and Mildew - Molds and mildew can grow in the home with humidity in excess of 40%. Fungal infection can cause respiratory, skin, and other illnesses and damage to home surfaces and cause a "musty" smell.

NovaBreeze UV Photocatalytic Air Purification System

Novapure's air cleaning system combines three proven technologies into one a safe,

effective system. First a Novabreeze ultraviolet light emitter is mounted in the return air duct. Air Optimizer photocatalytic reactor is installed under the Novabreeze UV light emitter. The third step is the optional Dust Scrubber photocatalytic reactor filter.Novapure's air cleaning system combines three proven technologies into one a safe, effective system. First a Novabreeze ultraviolet light emitter is mounted in the return air duct. Ultraviolet light has been used for decades to kill germs in hospitals and laboratories by damaging the DNA of the microorganism, resulting in its sterilization. Second an Air Optimizer photocatalytic reactor is installed under the Novabreeze UV light emitter. The UV light activates the photocatalytic surface to create hydroxyl radicals (OH). These OH radicals are like "bullets" that attack and break down any carbon based contaminants found in the air or on dust. This includes VOCs and all microorganisms. The contaminants are mineralized and reduced to CO2 and H2O. The third step is the optional Dust Scrubber photocatalytic reactor filter. Even the microscopic contaminants that are not trapped are scrubbed by hydroxyl radicals and are chronically dosed until they become sterile.

NeoAir Enviro 68108

Neoair Enviro is not your ordinary air purifier.

There are many reasons why the Enviro is among the most technologically advanced, efficient air purifiers available. In addition to the amazing 5-stage purification technology, it also offers a multitude of features and settings in its multi-function digital console. A built-in air pollution sensor has been strategically integrated to detect the severity and concentration of indoor air pollutants. As the levels of contaminants rise in the room, it automatically adjusts to purify the air, dynamically insuring the highest level of air quality.
• 5 air filtration stages
• The exclusive O.F.S. filter is the first of its kind and a breakthrough in air purification.
• Ionic technology -If you choose to have this feature turned on, Neoair generates anions that quickly bond and precipitate pollutants from the air.

The New AirWise Air Purifier

Airwise is based on advanced technology that goes beyond mechanical filtration methods like high-efficiency

particulate air (HEPA) and other methods like electrostatic filtration, ozone, ultraviolet light and ionizers. Airwise technology (photocatalysis plus WisePointe™) oxidizes odors, fungi, mold and parasites, and toxic chemical gases. At the same time, it settles dust and other large particles out of the air and destroys microorganisms like bacteria and viruses.
Airwise creates inductive warmth, drawing humidity into the purifier. When humidified air enters the target area, a photocatalytic reaction occurs and superoxide ions and hydroxyl radicals are created. As an added benefit, positively charged indoor pollutants are treated by the WisePointe technology which generates active negative ions at an accelerated rate, thereby enhancing the speed at which dust and other airborne particles are dropped out of your breathing space. Airwise technology works “outside of the box” so it is not necessary for polluted air to actually enter the purifier. This process significantly reduces allergens such as pollen, pet dander, dust and smoke; and it destroys viruses, bacteria, mold and mildew.

So, why settle for stick (grid) units or noisy fan machines? Air that is not circulated through those units is never purified! Airwise needs no fan, so it's totally silent. And it has no grid or filter, so it requires no cleaning or filters replacement. All you do is replace the photocatalytic lamp module once a year (no tools required).
