Austin Air Filter Technology 1

Technology in the field of air purifiers is always expanding. One of the reasons Austin has been so successful is their strive to stay up on modern technology and impress customers with their unique and innovative design. Austin Air has proven their pioneering techniques to be worthwhile to the air purifying market. By offering inventively built air purifiers, Austin has made itself a unique company in the field of air purification systems.

Austin provides three different types of filters in their air cleaners. The first and most basic filter offered is the regular HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is designed with four different filtration systems inside to weed out air impurities. The first outer filter is a large filter. This outer filter attracts airborne particles that are large, such as dust or pet hair. The next filtration system inside the HEPA filter is called the pre-filter. This pre-filter can catch smaller particles that were not detected by the first filtration system. These first two filtration systems are important to the rest of the HEPA filter because carbon and life are added to the HEPA layers due to these first two screens of filtration. The next filtration layer present in the filter is 15 pounds of activated carbon. This carbon has the ability to absorb even smaller particles and dust that the other two filters did not catch. It can also absorb harmful gases or unpleasant odors in the air. The last stage of the HEPA filter is the True Medical HEPA paper. When the air runs through this paper, the smallest particles in the air are cleaned out. This paper can detect particles that are as small as 0.3 microns. After running through the HEPA filter, air is dust and particle-free, as well as safe and odor-free.

Another technologically advanced filter that Austin Air provides in some air purifiers is called the Austin Air Superblend Filter. Austin Air designed this filter to target customers who are chemically sensitive. This filter provides the assurance of the HEPA filter and all four of its filtration systems. The Austin Air Superblend Filter also has potassium iodide present in the layers of the filter. The potassium iodide is inserted into the carbon and zeolite portion of the filter. The carbon and zeolite portion of the filter has been proven to absorb and remove gases and odors due to the properties of the compound. Potassium iodide has also been proven to absorb an infinite amount of gases and odors in the air. Having potassium iodide present in an air purifier, along with the carbon and zeolite compound, makes it a guarantee that the filter will grasp all odors and gases in the air before they can get to a customer's nose.
