Incinerator Air Purifiers

Incineration air purifier technology relies on high heat to kill up to 99.99% of all microorganisms in the air. This type of air purifier is ideal for the allergy sufferer, as spores, fungi, bacteria, viruses, mold and dust mite material is actually burned inside the unit at temperatures around 400°F.

Incinerating air purifiers typically are designed to clean the air for a single room and are fanless. Air is drawn into the unit via convection currents that exist at the heated ceramic inlets. Microorganisms are totally destroyed in the incinerator chamber (thus removing them from the air). A cooling chamber emits cool, clean air into the room.
