Blueair, the
leader in filter technology, offers you
two filter options: Particle/Gas filter or SmokeStop filter for heavy
odors-especially tobacco.
Because of
their unique HEPASilent Technology, Blueair air purifiers are extremely
quiet. It is possible to run the air purifier day and night, without
disturbing you when you sleep or work.
Mechanical and Electrostatic Technologies in a Single Air Purifier.
The typical air cleaner traps particles using either mechanical or
electrostatic technology. The Blueair 501 traps nearly 600% more dirt than
typical air purifiers tested by using both!
The secret is in Blueair's special filter material recently developed in
Germany and an ozone-free electrostatic precipitator that
charges particles so they are magnetically attracted to the filter
material.
The filters
contain millions of ultra thin fibers in three different sizes. Larger
particles are trapped first, followed by medium and then small. This means
that the filters resist loading or clogging and continue filtration at peak
performance levels longer.
This dual
technology explains how the Blueair 501 traps more particles using filters
that are less dense than other air cleaners. Since air flows more easily
through the Blueair 501, it cleans larger volumes of air with far less noise
than typical air cleaners.
To minimize drafts, Blueair 501 disperses clean air on three sides through
an area six times greater than the average air cleaner, a process we call
SurroundAir.™
The Blueair
501 purifier is very compact (20"Wx13"Dx26"H) and features award winning
Swedish design to blend in discreetly with practically any décor.
Furthermore, it is one of the most energy efficient air purifiers on the
market (15 watts on lowest speed, 95 watts at highest).
