AirCAGE™ Filters Explained: Why They’re More Effective

We all know that air quality is an essential aspect of our health and well-being, but finding the right solution can be a challenge with so many different kinds of air purifier out there. Advanced filtration technologies play a critical role in ensuring clean air, and Trident Air’s AirCAGE™ filters are at the forefront of this innovation.

This article delves into the unique features of AirCAGE™ filters, explaining what sets them apart from conventional options.

What is unique about AirCAGE™ filters as compared to traditional HEPA filters?

AirCAGE™ (Calibrated Advanced Graphene Electrostatic) filters are a revolutionary advancement in air filtration technology, developed in collaboration with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore. Unlike traditional HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, which are typically composed of layers of synthetic fibers bound together, AirCAGE™ filters are made of advanced graphene materials that serve as a more robust filtration medium. 

The graphene plates in AirCAGE™ filters are highly conductive, forming a quadruple electrostatic layer. A 4-8KV electrostatic charge is then generated, which actively attracts and traps harmful airborne pollutants at the atomic level, ensuring that even the smallest particles are captured. The uniqueness of the electrostatic layer in AirCAGE™ filters makes it more efficient than conventional HEPA filters, which are made of fibrous mediums stacked together closely to restrict certain particles from getting through.

How do AirCAGE™ filters fare against other filters on the market in terms of capturing and eliminating pollutants?

Traditional HEPA filters can trap particles down to 0.3 microns, while AirCAGE™ filters capture particles as small as 0.1 microns, including ultra-fine dust, bacteria, mould, viruses, and other harmful airborne contaminants. This means that AirCAGE™ filters are able to catch a wider range of pollutants compared to conventional HEPA filters, and the multiple layers embedded within prevent trapped particles from escaping. 

On top of that, the electrostatic charge created by the graphene material of AirCAGE™ filters are designed to neutralise airborne pollutants. This dual action of trapping and neutralising ensures that the air released from the filter is truly safe and free from live bacteria and viruses.

What testing or certification has AirCAGE™ technology undergone to verify its effectiveness?

Our AirCAGE™ filters and AirDome™ Technology are developed in collaboration with A*STAR after all–it is a given to be backed by rigorous scientific research and development. 

AirCAGE™ has been tested for its ability to capture and neutralise various airborne particles, including mould testing and particle count. The AirDome™ Technology has demonstrated a 99.8% effectiveness in eliminating harmful viruses and bacteria within 15 minutes of operation.

These results have been validated by scientific studies and trials conducted with reputable institutions such as Axiom IAQ Lab and A*STAR Infectious Disease Lab, ensuring that AirCAGE™ filters and AirDome™ Technology meet the highest standards of air purification.

In what ways do AirCAGE™ filters contribute to the overall efficiency and longevity of the air purifiers?

AirCAGE™ filters, with their advanced graphene design, are washable and reusable for up to 10 years with proper care and maintenance. This reduces the need for frequent filter replacements, which translates to lower maintenance costs. 

In addition, AirCAGE™ filters have wider vanes than HEPA fibers, allowing up to 40% smoother airflow so you won’t be stuck with stuffy and stale air. A high capture efficiency means that our AirDome™ purifiers can operate with lower energy consumption while maintaining optimal air quality. The reduced load on the purifier’s motor and fan extends its lifespan, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for long-term air purification needs.

Are there any specific environments or conditions where AirCAGE™ filters perform particularly well?

We thought you’d never ask. AirCAGE™ filters are particularly effective in environments where high levels of air pollutants and pathogens are present. They are ideal for use in healthcare settings, like hospitals and clinics, where maintaining sterile conditions is critical. Our filters are also highly effective in urban areas with high pollution levels, ensuring clean air in all settings from homes and offices. 

Environments prone to airborne diseases, such as schools, daycare centers, and public transportation will benefit from AirCAGE™ filters too. The ability to capture and neutralise a wide range of pollutants makes AirCAGE™ a key player in reducing the spread of infectious diseases for a safer environment.

Some of the key locations where AirCAGE™ has been deployed (that we can mention) include Ren Ci Hospital, and across Teo Heng Family KTVs.

Conclusion

So there you have it. Our AirCAGE™ filters are a result of breakthrough technology and rigorous testing. The unique graphene-based electrostatic design can not only capture, but neutralise airborne pollutants too. There’s also smoother airflow, reduced energy consumption, less waste, lower costs and longer longevity. By choosing AirCAGE™ filters, you invest in a healthier, cleaner future for your home, office, or public space.
