iWave®-C is a self-cleaning, bi-polar ionization generator for actively treating a building's air quality that does not require replacement parts in a year or two like competing UV lights or other ionizer technologies. In addition, the iWave®-C produces and maintains unparalleled ionization output and capabilities. As the air flows past the iWave®-C, the device emits positive and negative ions, creating a plasma region that actively purifies the supply air, killing mold, bacteria and viruses in the coil and living space. The ionization process also reduces allergens, smoke and static electricity, as well as controlling odors (cooking, pet, VOCs) and other particles (no more sunbeams) in the air without creating ozone or any harmful byproducts. Although suitable for residential applications, the original iWave®-C is specially designed for light commercial systems up to 12 ton (4800 cfm) with no maintenance or replacement parts needed. iWave®-C can be easily duct-mounted indoors or outdoors, depending on the application. iWave®-C always works at peak performance, producing over 200 million ions/cc per polarity (400 million total ions/cc), making it superior to other market approaches. Special features include a programmable self-cleaning cycle, waterproof housing, digital display (for on-site visual monitoring) and integral alarm contact (for remote monitoring). In the event the ion emitters become damaged or wear out (after years of service), they can be replaced on the iWave®-C model.
