Which is Better – Bipolar Ionization or Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation?
By installing a Bipolar Ionization (BI) or Ultraviolet Light Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) system within your HVAC system, you can reduce or even eliminate airborne particles such as bacteria, virus cells, mold, allergens, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). What is Bipolar Ionization (BI) Technology? Bipolar Ionization technology produces a natural bio-climate rich in positive and negative ions much like sunlight does in the atmosphere. The negative ions contain an extra electron while the positive ions are missing an electron resulting in an unstable condition. To re-stabilize, these bipolar ions seek out atoms and molecules in the air to trade electrons with, effectively neutralizing particulate matter, bacteria and virus cells, odorous gases and aerosols, and VOCs. What is Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI)? As radiation, Ultraviolet (UV) [...]
