HVAC air experts, supported by decades of industry data, agree that the delivery of
fresh indoor air is part of a 4-stage approach. Indoor air quality can achieve exceptional
results when you combine make up air, high MERV air filtration, air purification, and
UV-C lights into your HVAC system.
Make Up Air & Air Filtration
Make-up air or dedicated outside air units are often added to introduce fresh air
into the zones, when the system is incapable of doing it on its own. Make-up air
units are also commonly found in applications where structure's interior requires
the constant introduction of outside air and the existing interior air cannot be
recirculated.
Air filtration refers to removing airborne particles using media filters.
From a high level, air filtration is provided in a heating, ventilation and air
conditioning system for two main reasons: to protect equipment
components from accumulating dirt/debris and to reduce the quantity of air
contaminants inside the building environment.
Friedrich Recommends:
Friedrich FreshAire™ PTAC introduces up to 52 cfm of fresh, outside make-up air
filtered with a MERV 8 fitter.
Air Purification
A bi-polar ionization generator designed specifically for treating air in residential duct
A/C systems. As the air flows past, positive and negative ions actively purify the supply air,
killing mold, bacteria and viruses in the coil and living space.
The ionization process also reduces allergens, smoke and static electricity, as well as
controlling odors (cooking, pet, VOCs) and other particles in the air without creating ozone
or any harmful byproducts.
Friedrich Recommends: iWave M Air Purification.
UV-C Lights
A technology that is now over 100 years old. Shortwave radiation (UV-C) is emitted from these
systems and is most effective at killing mold, bacteria, and viruses. When properly installed and
maintained within an HVAC System, UV Lights increase the quality of air in buildings.
