Pur Air Commercial Air Purifier
The Pur Air Purifier
is designed to turn a ceiling fan into an air
purifier and circulator. The device is said
to allow smokers and non-smokers comfortably
share the same space, provides employees with
cleaner work environments, and helps allergy
sufferers breathe easier. A Business Wire report
says the air purifiers are being used by bar
and restaurant owners, as well as other users
who want cleaner indoor air.
Paul Fiacco invented the Pur Air in 1997 and
says independent tests showed the device to
be extremely effective in reducing the amounts
of nicotine and other harmful particles from
tobacco smoke, as well as reducing dust, bacteria,
mold spores, and industrial pollutants like
paints and fumes.
The unit is said to accomplish this through
a unique design and a combination of carbon
and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.
"I soon realized that my invention could
be a fantastic way to clean the air overall
from other pollutants," Fiacco says.
"All I know is that my restaurant no longer
smells like smoke," says Wade Hayes, a
Pur Air customer and owner of Toot's Great Food
and Family Fun, a popular family restaurant
in Murfreesboro, TN, U.S. "My customers
have told me they appreciated the difference."
The unit circulates a large amount of air -
for example, the air in a 20-by-20 ft room is
circulated through the unit's three-stage filters
every 90 seconds, or 40 times an hour. It is
designed to accomplish this using no more electricity
than a ceiling fan. Another advantage is that
it takes up no floor space.
The Pur Air is designed to be affordable, costing
about a tenth as much as many commercial units
while circulating 25 percent more air. For residential
users, the Pur Air will generally cost no more
than many floor units and circulate as much
as six times more air.
