Bryant Evolution

Charge:

The purifier creates a “cloud” of electrically charged ions that attach themselves to airborne dust, pollen, viruses, germs and other particles as they pass through.

Capture:

The ionized particles are pulled toward an oppositely charged, pleated MERV 15 rated filter and captured at an extremely high rate, similar to how a magnet attracts metal shavings.₂

Kill:

Captured airborne microbes remain on the pleated filter instead of recirculating back into the home and are subjected to an intense electric field. There, 99% of select viruses and bacteria are inactivated.₁

1.Captured airborne microbes remain on the pleated filter instead of recirculating back into the home and are subjected to an intense electric field. There, 99% of select viruses and bacteria are inactivated. 2 MERV is a filter efficiency standard ranging from 1 to 16 (higher MERV = higher efficiency). The Evolution air purifier achieves a MERV 15 rating based on third-partytesting (2012) showing 95% of particles size 1.0 to 3.0 microns captured and 85% of particles size 0.3 to 1.0 microns captured. 5 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7224694/

Does the Evolution air purifier capture coronavirus?

The Evolution air purifier uses a filter that meets Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 15.2 ASHRAE recommends MERV 13 or higher to limit transmission of viruses. While the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself is extremely small (about 0.1 microns in diameter), the larger respiratory droplets or aerosols that can transmit viruses are large enough to be captured when passing through enhanced air filtration.

iWave Air Purifier

This test was run in a test chamber in a lab setting with the Nu-Calgon iWave-R Air Purifier P/N 4900-20. A petri dish containing a pathogen is placed underneath a laboratory hood, then monitored to assess the pathogen’s reactivity to Needle Point Bi-polar Ionization (NPBI) over time. This controlled environment allows for comparison across different types of pathogens.

More Information

This test was run using the iWave-C (GPS-DM48-AC) in a test designed to mimic ionization conditions like that of a commercial aircraft’s fuselage.
Based on viral titrations, it was determined that at 10 minutes, 84.2% of the virus was inactivated. At 15 minutes, 92.6% of the virus was inactivated, and at 30 minutes, 99.4% of the virus was inactivated.

RGF® Environmental Group, Inc., a leading environmental design and manufacturing company, has released the results of a third-party study that reveal REME HALO® efficacy of 99.9% against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, commonly known as the coronavirus 2019 or COVID-19.
