\"vent-cover-in-ceiling\"When people think about the work commercial HVAC contractors do, they usually think of climate control. But our HVAC services concentrate on indoor air quality as much as heating and cooling. Creating clean air for commercial buildings is a large task that requires the best in technology and skill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re going to examine one of the most powerful tools we have for improving commercial indoor air quality: an air purifier that works through a process with an intimidating name, Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI). We\u2019ll make this less intimidating below.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization Work?<\/b><\/h2>\n

NPBI is a type of electrically powered air purification system that removes pollutants from the air by creating a plasma field inside a ventilation system. The air purifier is located where all the air circulating through the HVAC system must pass. The plasma field converts oxygen molecules to charged atoms, creating a high concentration of negatively and positively charged ions. These ions attach themselves to particles in the air, and this causes the particles to clump together. Where small particles can easily slip through even powerful filters, particles that first pass through a plasma field are far easier to trap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to making it easier to filter out pollutants, the ionization process also affects pathogens because when it converts oxygen into hydrogen, the loss of oxygen destroys the pathogens. A similar process eliminates a wide range of pollutants: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors molecules, and allergens.<\/span><\/p>\n
