IQAir Air Purifier - HealthPro Eliminates Smallest Particles

The IQAir Air Purifier has proven themselves to be some of the most effective air cleaners on the market today. The company has used the most advanced and efficient technology that is available to develop the most secure and reliable filtration systems for the machines. Since the machines are equipped with a HyperHEPA filter as well as a pre-filter, the air cleaners are the most useful and successful products on the market.

Not only does the IQAir Air Purifier HealthPro series contain air cleaners that are unique in design and can cater to specific contaminants, but these products have also been tested and proven to be able to eliminate the smallest particles present in indoor air. In July of 2003, the HealthPro was put through the European Norm 1822 test for air cleaners. The EN1822 is one of the most prestigious tests in the air cleaning industry and no air purifier design has been able to pass the test. This two part test examines the minimum size of particles the filter is able to eliminate. For the most part, air cleaners with HEPA filters are able to filter particles from the air that are 0.03 microns and larger in size. The EN1822 tests each air purifier to see what particle size is most easily penetrated through the filter. Particulate matter that is smaller than 0.03 microns in size can still be harmful and can include allergens such as pollen, dust and dander. These particles can cause allergic and asthmatic reactions in many people. By not being able to eliminate these tiny particles, many air cleaners have a lower efficiency. 90% of the pollution that is found in indoor places such as homes or offices are smaller than 0.03 microns in size.

In the first part of the EN 1822 certification, the air purifier is tested to find which size particles in the air are easily penetrated through the filter. The penetrating particle size is the first and most important part of the test because it the size of the penetrating particle is used in the second part of the test. In the next part of the test, the air purifier is turned on and experiences only the particles that are the size of penetration. After an independent testing using the EN 1822 procedures, the HealthPro was proven to be able to handle these penetrating particles and was still measured to have an efficiency of 99.95% when the airflow was at 112 cfm. When the airflow was then turned up to 280 cfm, the air purifier was challenged to its extent. However, the HealthPro still pulled through the challenge and was able to achieve an efficiency of 99.5%.

The HealthPro showed its power and stamina by still pulling an amazing percentage of efficiency through the EN 1822 test. Although this test may be the toughest one present in the air cleaning industry, it was no match for the HealthPro. After experimenting with the powers of the machine and the abilities of the filtering system, the company has determined that the HealthPro is 100 times more effective than most air cleaners on the market today.

The July 2003 testing of the HealthPro did wonders for the popularity of the HealthPro. Although the air purifier was already proven to be very efficient, the mastering of the EN 1822 only sealed this great measure of efficiency for the unit. With the unique design and the useful technology that was created for this air purifier, the firm has shown itself to be innovative when it comes to developing new air cleaners. Without determining the size of the particles that an air purifier can handle, many companies have trouble determining the accurate efficiency of their models. The HealthPro has proven its dramatic efficiency with the EN 1822 test.
