There’s
more in the air than you can easily see—particles, dust and smoke, all
of them potential triggers for asthma and allergy attacks. Particles
like dust, smoke and bacteria are often .3 microns or less. At that
size, allergens can get deep into your lungs because they aren’t
filtered well by your nose and throat.
An effective whole-house air cleaner, such as Trane CleanEffects™,
can reduce the presence of potential asthma and allergy attack triggers
in your home. Get rid of the majority of particles like dust, pollen,
pet hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus, most tobacco
smoke, cooking grease, and even bacteria.
Trane
CleanEffects™ uses breakthrough, patented technology which has been
performance verified by professors from the Harvard School of Public
Health. Trane CleanEffects™ removes more airborne allergens from the
filtered air in your home than any other air cleaning system, up to 100
times more than a standard 1" filter.
How It Works First, it traps the large particles that the
air in your home circulates through your heating or cooling system,
carrying millions of airborne particles through the ductwork. As the
air goes through the pre-filter, it traps the majority of the large
particles.
Then it charges the small ones. The Trane
CleanEffects™ field charger creates a series of electrically charged
corona fields through which incoming air must pass. Since the air
passes through many small electrical fields, rather than over a single
charged metal wire or plate, more airborne contaminants are collected
than in traditional electronic air cleaner systems.
Finally, it collects the even smaller ones. Each layer of the Trane
CleanEffects™ collection element is only .08 inches apart, with
alternating charges, making for a stronger, more effective collection
field that traps particles down to .1 micron in size. The patented
filter is the most efficient of any on the market since it doesnt
become clogged and hamper airflow. What is more, it has 8 times the
collection surface of an electronic air cleaner.
Did You Know?
▪ According
to a study by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, indoor air
contaminants are responsible for or aggravate half of all illnesses.
▪ Poor indoor air quality negatively affects more than 15 million
Americans who have asthma and the 28 million who suffer from hay fever
and other allergies. ▪ It is recommended we drink approximately
two quarts of clean water each day. By comparison, we inhale
approximately 15,000 quarts of air each day.
▪ More than 15 million Americans are estimated to have asthma, including one in 13 school-age children.
▪ Because they breathe faster than adults, children inhale 50% more air per pound of body weight than adults and are especially sensitive to air quality problems.
