At AirTrack Inc., we’re proud to be at the forefront of HVAC innovation, especially during times when indoor air quality has never been more critical. With over 20 years of industry expertise, we continuously align our services with the latest safety recommendations from authorities such as ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers).
ASHRAE’s Epidemic Task Force has recently highlighted a promising new technology to enhance indoor air safety in schools and universities: Plasma Technology, also known as Bipolar Ionization.
What Is Plasma (Bipolar Ionization)?
This cutting-edge method uses specialized tubes that extract oxygen molecules from the air and convert them into charged ions. These ions attach to airborne contaminants like mold, bacteria, allergens, and viruses, neutralizing them effectively. Unlike traditional passive filters, Plasma technology actively disinfects the air, providing an ongoing layer of protection in various indoor environments.
Originally recommended for schools and universities, this same technology is just as vital for:
If it’s safe enough for students, it’s safe—and essential—for everyone else.
Why Consider Plasma for Your Facility?
Most commercial spaces, including schools, offices, shopping malls, and manufacturing facilities, operate at roughly 6 air changes per hour. However, only specialized environments like hospitals are traditionally equipped to fully purify recirculated air. Plasma systems bridge this gap, offering a continuous air sanitization solution suitable for virtually any commercial or industrial setting.
Plasma vs. UV Light and HEPA Filters
While UV light and HEPA filters remain effective tools in infection control, Plasma ionization stands out for its proactive, always-on approach. Plasma systems don’t just trap contaminants—they deactivate them at the molecular level, which is especially valuable in high-traffic areas such as:
At AirTrack, we offer custom HVAC retrofit and design-build services to integrate Plasma systems seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.
Real-World Impact: A Success Story
One of our valued clients—a private school in the Greater Toronto Area—partnered with AirTrack to install Plasma air purification systems across their HVAC equipment. The results? Zero reported COVID-19 cases since implementation. This success speaks volumes about the reliability and effectiveness of the technology.
