  4. Indoor Air Quality 101 Particulates Gases Microbes

  5. Dust Particulates • Minute solid particles less than 500 micrometers • Composition changes by season Dander • Material shed from the body of various animals • Can be a very aggressive allergen Pollen • Released by certain plant species • Lightweight and small • Stays air born for extended periods of time

  6. Dust Particulates How to Identify Particulate Problems • Allergy related issues • Hayfever & Ragweed Allergies, Dust Allergies, Cat & Dog Allergies Dander Questions to Ask • “Do you have any allergy problems this time of year?” • “I see you have a dog/cat, does it cause allergies in your family?” Pollen How to Treat • Physically remove the irritating particles from the air. • Most commonly accomplished using filtration

  7. Bacteria Microbes • Single Cell Organism • Self contained and can reproduce without a host • E.g., MRSA, E. Coli, Staph, Strep….. Viruses • Minimal structure of genetic material and protein • Can only be seen with an electron microscope • E.g., Norwalk, SARS, Avian Flu…. Mold Spores • Airborne Single Cell Organism • Grows into mold as soon as conditions permit • Causes allergic reactions, asthma episodes, irritations, infections, sinus congestion problems….

  8. Bacteria Microbes How to Identify Potential Microbe Problems • Anyone more susceptible to illness (Elderly, High Risk) • Kids who go to school bring home germs • Mold in your AC, Bathroom, Basement, etc…. Viruses Questions to Ask • “Do your kids ever bring home a sinus infection that gets passed around the house until everyone gets it?” • “Are you concerned about getting sick this year?” • “Do you get mold growth or a musty smell in your bathroom or basement?” Mold Spores How to Treat • Kill the germs in as much of the air as possible as quickly as possible.

  9. VOCs Gases • Created by Evaporation of Additives • VOCs off gas from smoke, adhesives, carpets, cleaning agents, nail polish, paint, new construction, pressed wood products… • Can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea… Odors • Caused by odorant molecules dissolved in the air. • E.g., pet odors, perfumes, food odors…

  10. VOCs Gases How to Identify Potential Gas Problems • Look for Candles, Sprays, Incense, odor cover ups • Typical odors to watch for: Pets, Cooking, Kids, Trash • New Carpet, Paint, Pressed Wood, Chemicals in use Questions to Ask • “You have a lot of candles around, have you looked into air purification? Lots of our customers use the Guardian Air to replace those chemicals and save money.” • “Is this new paint? Did you use a low VOC paint?” • ”Do you like to cook fish? Does the smell linger in the air for hours after you finished?” Odors How to Treat • Break down the molecules in the conditioned space

  11. Identify the Problem Particulates Microbes Gases • Odors & VOC’s • Scented Candles & Sprays • Cooking/Pet odors • New Paint, Carpet, etc… • Germs & Mold • Kids in School • Elderly & High Risk • Mold Growth & Allergies • Allergies • Dog & Cat Allergies • Hay fever & Ragweed • Dust Allergies • Solution: • Physically remove irritating particles from the air, most commonly done with filtration. • Solution: • Kill the germs and mold spores in the air to reduce the risk of exposure. • Solution: • Break down the odor and VOC molecules in the conditioned space.

  12. Filtration • Removes particulates from the air • Filters are limited in the size of particles they can capture effectively • Not Effective on Microbes and Gases

  13. Filtration • Every time you change a filter it takes time for it to reach maximum efficiency • As the particulates are captured they leave less space for other particulates to get through • A New MERV 9 Filter captures less than 20% of 1 Micron Particles Chart showing MERV 9 Filter Increase in Efficiency as Filter Loads

  14. Germicidal Ultra Violet Light • 254 nm first used in 1950’s • Disrupts RNA/DNA to sterilize microbes • To achieve sterilization you need to getto the CT Value: Energy (Wattage) x Time (Seconds) = CT Value It’s a Direct Relationship. The more power you have the less time you need. • The farther from the light you are, the less power you get (Inverse Square Law) • A coil is exposed to the UV light 24 hours a day.

  15. UV Lights and Moving Air Light Energy Decreases as Distance Increases Conclusion Estimated Minimum Exposure needed for Sterilization Inverse Square LawDouble the Distance, ¼ The Power Estimated Numbers with a residentially marketed 16” - 36w UVC Bulb sterilizing E. Coli Bacteria (CT Value= ~7000µW.s) 1600 CFM through a 16”x16” Duct moves at 900 ft/minuteThat’s 10.2 mph. The Microbes move past the light faster than the UVC can get them. 36wUV Minimum RequiredSterilization Time Distance Effectiveness Microbe Travel Time 1.5” 0.18 Sec 0.16 Sec vs. 100% 0.56 Sec 0.33 Sec 3” 25% vs. 2.18 Sec 0.66 Sec 6” 6.25% vs. 12” 8.75 Sec 1.33 Sec 1.56% vs.

  16. PCO Technology Photoelectric Effect: UV • UV Light Energizes a TiO2 Catalyst • Ejected Electron creates an “Electron Hole” • The “hole” is filled by an electron from the air. • This process starts a chain reaction

  17. PCO Technology Photoelectric Effect: • Chain reaction creates Hydroxyl Radical (OH) • OH has very short life span (Microseconds) • Destroys microbes and gases that come Into contact with the TiO2 Surface OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH

  18. PCO Technology Photoelectric Effect: • More Surface area = more potential contacts • Microbes that don’t touch the catalyst are not effected Airflow

  19. Passive Air Purification • You have to bring all the pollutants to the device! • No protection in the conditioned space • Can’t eliminate ongoing odor problems Almost All Air Purifiers Have the Same ProblemThey work on “Passive” Technology

  20. RGF’s Air Purification Products • GOALS • Treat every cubic foot of air at the same time • Attack Microbes & Gases as soon as they are introduced • Reduce odors where you actually spend time. How do we purify all the air in the building at the same time?

  21. PHI Technology

  22. PHI Technology Guardian Air • Unit installs in the Supply Plenum • Unit Should be Constantly Running • Turning the unit on/off with the fan could shorten it’s life • Transformer fit for any power source between • 100V-240V (24V Model Available)

  23. PHI Technology Broad spectrum UV lamp Hydrated Coating PPC Sleeve Quad-metallic Hydrophilic coating Optimal surface area

  24. PHI Technology Rhodium – Converts Nitric Oxide to Nitrogen and Oxygen Titanium DiOxide– “when TiO2 is exposed to UV light of a wavelength below 385 nanometers in the presence of water vapor, two highly reactive substances are formed: hydroxyl radicals [OH] and a superoxide ion [O2-1].” Photohydroionization - Catalyst Silver & Copper – “Turbocharger” Speeds up the reaction process

  25. PHI Technology Advanced Oxidation Plasma (AOP) O2- • Broad Spectrum UV Light is Targeted onto the Quad Metallic Catalyst which starts a chain reaction H H HO2 O Photohydroionization H H HO2 O O2- H H O

  26. What are Hydro-peroxides? What’s actually in that brown bottle? 3% H2O2 -Hydrogen Peroxide 97% H2O -Water H2O + O2 + = H2O2 Water Oxygen Hydrogen Peroxide

  27. PHI Technology Advanced Oxidation Plasma (AOP) • Unit creates Hydro-Peroxides in the air stream which are distributed through the conditioned space • Hydro-Peroxides destroy Microbes & Gases that they come into contact with. • Hydro-Peroxides revert back into O2 and H2O, destroying pollutants in the process • All of the oxidizers created exist in outside air O2- H H HO2 O Photohydroionization H H HO2 O O2- H H O

  28. PHI Technology • All of the oxidizers created exist in outside air: • The Sun is a big UV Light and there’s lots of air for it to hit • Hydro-Peroxides naturally make outside air “Fresh” • Natural Outside Levels of Hydro-Peroxides: 0.02ppm • PHI units are designed to create the same levels indoors Hydro-Peroxides in Outside Air

  29. Maintenance & Warranty • Guardian Air units have a 2 year warranty • Lamp & Catalyst are one piece called a “Cell” • 25,000 Hour Cell Life (2.8Years) • Cell is replaceable • Fluoro-Plastic sleeve on unit means no dusting

  30. REME Technology REME+ Generator

  31. REME Technology 1.) Particulates are in your air. 2.) Ionized Peroxides Charge the Particulates + - - + - - - + + + 3.) Particulates Start to Stick Together - Coagulation 4.) Larger Particles = Better Filtration Rates For Any Filter + - + - - - + - + +

  32. REME Technology • Unit creates a group of “Friendly Oxidizers” • Oxidizers pass a charge off to airborne particulates • Particulates stick together making them larger Reflective Electro-Magnetic Energy • Larger particulates become to heavy to remain in the air. • Existing Filters collect the larger particles at a much higher rate of efficiency

  33. REME Technology REME+ Generator • Unit installs in the Supply Plenum • Unit Should be Constantly Running • Turning the unit on/off with the fan could shorten it’s life • Transformer fit for any power source between • 100V-240V
