SmartSense Communicates For IAQ 

The new Broan SmartSense Ventilation System provides homes with the monitored, continuous ventilation needed to maintain good indoor air quality. An economic and energy-efficient alternative to other ventilation strategies, the Broan SmartSense system is comprised of Broan Ultra Silent ventilation fans and Broan controls (pictured). These can be installed in the master bathroom, second bath, powder room and laundry room, and digitally communicate with each other over existing power lines in the home using Broan-NuTone’s intelligent linking system technology, powered by INSTEON. No control wires are needed.

Kimberly-Clark Offers Odor Eliminator 

Commercial and institutional buildings have a new way to remove odors and other irritant gaseous contaminants from their hvac system air stream: new Kimberly Clark brand odor control filtration media from Kimberly-Clark Filtration Products.

The filtration media delivers excellent particulate filtration performance with added odor removal technology to deliver clean, fresh, odor-free air, thanks in part to its two-layer construction. The upstream layer provides excellent particulate filtration and protects the downstream carbon layer from particulate loading, to ensure maximum odor removal capability. The downstream layer is made of activated carbon, one of the strongest physical adsorbents, which rapidly adsorbs and retains gaseous contaminants.

Humidifier Helps IAQ

Luxaire introduces three new humidifiers to its line of indoor air quality (IAQ) products. The new small and large bypass humidifiers and a high-capacity, fan powered humidifier provide homeowners with a full line of humidifiers to complement any home with a forced air system.

Luxaire humidifiers provide humidity in the form of pure water vapor to prevent minerals from entering the air stream. During operation, a constant flushing action occurs that sends mineral leftover from evaporation to a drain at the bottom of each humidifier. This flushing action keeps the unit operating efficiently while keeping maintenance to a minimum, typically once a year.

UVC Lamp Inactivates DNA, Disinfects Air

American Ultraviolet offers a high-output (800mA), low-mercury (≤ 8 mg) UVC lamp for disinfecting air and water in commercial and residential environments. The lamps have been tested and validated to effectively perform for 17,000 hours (two years) when operated on high frequency electronic ballasts from American Ultraviolet. UVC Germicidal Lamps provide safe, direct exposure to 254nm radiation, which, when given appropriate exposure time, inactivates the DNA and RNA of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, mold spores, yeast and protozoa), making them unable to reproduce.
