Improve Indoor Air Quality With Bipolar Ionization

What is bipolar ionization? Is bipolar ionization safe? What is a bipolar ion generator, and how does it work? Find out the answers to these questions and the benefits of bipolar ionization in HVAC systems.

What Is Bipolar Ionization?

Bipolar ionization, also known as needlepoint bipolar ionization (NPBI), is a process that uses proactive air purification technology to kill or neutralize airborne viruses. Companies choose to install NPBI technology in commercial HVAC systems to improve indoor air quality and create healthier environments.

Bipolar ion generator technology creates a plasma field full of high concentrations of positive and negative oxygen ions. After being drawn into the air conditioning unit, the ions are reintroduced to the air. The negative ions have an extra electron; meanwhile, positive ions lack an electron.

The unevenly charged ions result in instability. The bipolar ions pursue other atoms and molecules in the ambient air to trade electrons with to restabilize. Once they attach, hydrogen is removed from the cellular walls. The result is neutralized airborne particles, viruses, mold, bacteria, breath droplets, and aerosols.

Why Use Bipolar Ionization in HVAC Systems?

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 global pandemic, businesses have been seeking ways to keep their employees and customers safe. Because the coronavirus is mostly spread through airborne droplets, there has been a surge in popularity for products that improve indoor air quality.

Bipolar ionization technology is incredibly effective at killing volatile organic compounds. After just 30 minutes of running a bipolar ion generator through an HVAC system, there is a 99% reduction of coronavirus presence in the air.

Bipolar ionization technology provides numerous benefits to go along with healthier, cleaner air. Using a bipolar ion generator kills viruses and reduces the amount of dust and other particulates. Your building will be cleaner and require less dusting, saving your time and money. Additionally, when you use a bipolar ion generator, you need less HVAC maintenance, which results in even more cost savings. NPBI technology reduces dust so well that it eliminates the need to use filters and collectors in your HVAC system.

NPBI technology’s effect on positive and negative ions also helps reduce foul smells by killing the sources. As a business operator, that means you’ll have a fresh smelling space that doesn’t require an investment in artificial scents, deodorizers, or cleaners.

Air Comfort can help you breathe easier by installing bipolar ion generators in your commercial HVAC system. Reach out today to find out how to improve your indoor air quality to keep your employees and clients safe.

Is Bipolar Ionization Safe?

Bipolar ionization is a safe process. NPBI technology is so safe that medical facilities, school campuses, government buildings, and airports have relied on bipolar ion generators for years to maintain safe indoor air quality levels and kill harmful airborne contaminants.

Initial bipolar ionization technology that used glass tubes decades ago could lead to harmful byproducts like ozone. However, modern NPBI technology no longer produces dangerous levels of ozone or ultraviolet light. Going a step further, bipolar ion generators are environmentally friendly. They use no harsh chemicals, heavy metals, or harmful elements like mercury.

Key Takeaways About Bipolar Ionization

Here is a brief recap of bipolar ionization technology and the role it plays in improving indoor air quality when installed in commercial HVAC systems.

  • Bipolar ion generators push filtered air with positive and negative charged particles into the ambient air, effectively killing viruses, mold, and contaminants.
  • Bipolar ionization is highly effective in the global fight against COVID-19.
  • NPBI technology is a safe way to create healthier environments.
  • Using bipolar ion generators helps keep your space and HVAC system clean by nearly eliminating dust and dirt.
