Agentis Air to present energy-saving, variable-MERV electrostatic filtration at ASHRAE Winter 2023 Conference and to exhibit technology at concurrent AHR Expo
The Agentis Air paper session on February 6th will introduce a new form of electrostatic filtration that has uniform performance, low backpressure, is energy efficient, and can be tuned to perform at a range of filtration levels depending on demand. This is accomplished by varying the voltage applied to the ionization stage of the filter. In this study, an electrostatic filter is operated with a variable power source set to adjust the filtration level according to a variety of operating algorithms. The resulting energy use is compared to standard air filters. The technology allows in-duct systems to adjust to a range of filtration levels, from MERV 8 to MERV 15, responding in real time to current air quality conditions and filtration needs.

Introducing Brio, the innovative air purifier
Brio delivers a constant, clean airflow while removing particulate matter without filter clogging. Designed for use in homes, offices, and small-business establishments, Brio removes invisible fine and ultrafine particles, including viruses, germs, smoke, dust, and pollen using patented Advanced Particle Removal Technology (APART™). Developed by researchers at the University of Washington, APART keeps Brio’s effectiveness high over the entire period between cartridge replacements.
In Depth: From Problem to Patent
There is no master recipe for a patent, but if there was, it would contain one essential ingredient: a problem to solve. And while the path from that point forward is as unique as the inventor and the technology, there are key characteristics that contribute to success. The patent issued for our Advanced Particle Removal Technology (APART), an innovative application that redefines electrostatic precipitators, illustrates the long yet gratifying journey from identifying the problem to developing a patent-worthy solution.
