Air purification is a highly competitive, emerging space in HVAC, and manufacturers are constantly trying to innovate and stay ahead of the curve in relation to the needs of customers.

Manufacturers are addressing this demand head-on by creating and adapting products that are accessible to both contractors and consumers with an eye toward digital displays and functions that can be updated and expanded in the years to come.

The new PRO-Cell™ Upgrade Assembly magnifies the power of purification when added to any Field Controls UV-16. These models can be upgraded with the addition of a PCUV-16UA, boosting their UVC germicidal performance.

The Duo-11/24V and Duo-14/24V include a two-stage purification process that works with virtually any forced-air system.

The U.S. air purifiers market is projected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 10 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to the TechSci Research report “United States Air Purifiers Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020.”

Fresh-Aire UV®, manufacturers of Blue Tube UV® and other HVAC IAQ products, has expanded its Jupiter, Florida, headquarters by 50 percent to accommodate a growing workforce, a newly-purchased air purification product test chamber, and its recent launch into the European market.

Ron Fink, president/CEO of RGF Environmental Group Inc., has announced an agreement to supply the company’s full line of patented and patent pending Guardian Air air purification and odor control systems for sale through Trane Supply stores and Trane and American Standard parts distributors.

New technologies are being developed in hopes of becoming the “next big thing” in air purification. But what is the future of air purification technology, and which products will win out in the end? 

While few will argue that clean air is a bad thing, explaining IAQ to customers and helping them understand its importance isn’t always easy. 

Applicable in homes, hospitals, schools, offices, and more, the Air Scrubber Plus® with ActivePure™ technology cleans, freshens, and purifies the air using specialized germicidal UV light waves along with a proprietary catalytic process that creates enviroscrubbing molecules of oxygen and hydrogen.
