Reduce Exposure to Home Air Pollutants
Air pollutants in the home can lead to health problems such as allergies, asthma and other respiratory illnesses. With increased consumer awareness about the health issues associated with poor home IAQ, demand for home air purification products is strong, and continues to grow.

Indoor air pollutants can affect us all, especially those homebound with serious illnesses, very young children, the elderly and the 60 to 70 million people in North America who suffer from allergies, asthma and other respiratory ailments. Airborne pollutants found in homes, such as particulates (dust), microorganisms (molds, fungi & bacteria) and other toxins (VOC, gases), can trigger a wide range of respiratory diseases including:

Allergies and sinus reactions
Painful headaches
Persistent coughing, sneezing and wheezing
Recurring cold and flu-type symptoms
Chronic asthma
Chronic fatigue
Rashes

Installed in the HVAC return, Central Air Purifiers from Abatement Technologies are designed to remove airborne pollutants before the air is conditioned and supplied to the living space. The high-performance CAP units incorporate tried and true methods, plus the latest innovations in air filtration technology.

Some models combine as many as four or five different air purification technologies for maximum effectiveness against a broad spectrum of airborne contaminants. Few if any other products can make that claim. All CAP models are Class II medical devices certified by Environmental Testing Laboratories to meet applicable UL electrical safety standards.

When it comes to harmful air pollutants, what you can’t see can hurt you. CAP600 series and CAP1200 series Central Air Purifiers with true HEPA filtration are often recommended by allergists, pediatricians and other healthcare professionals for patients with allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. CAP600 & CAP1200 series models represent the ultimate in home air purification systems that deliver clean, pure healthy air into your customers’ homes.

All CAP600 series and CAP1200 series models feature a HEPA filter that is tested and certified to an efficiency of 99.97% or higher at 0.3 microns. This HEPA filter is similar to the kind used to cleanse the air in hospital operating room suites. Your customers can also add-on an optional UV-C or UV Plus lamp for enhanced control of microbes, VOCs and odors.

Sure, allergy medications can treat the symptoms, but physicians also recommend "allergen avoidance"—taking measures to reduce or eliminate exposure to the source of the problem. For example, if a person is allergic to shellfish, but eats them anyway, medical treatment may alleviate the reaction. However, it makes a lot more sense to avoid eating them in the first place. In the same light, avoidance of airborne allergens can reduce the threat to our health and well-being.

Abatement HEPA Filter Captures Microscopic Contaminants.
No other filter captures microscopic contaminants as effectively as a true HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. Scientific studies have shown that more than 99 out of every 100 particles in indoor air are smaller than one micron in size–far too small to be captured by most upgraded filters let alone low-efficiency throwaway furnace filters. The HEPA filter used in the CAP600 series and CAP1200 series models are tested and certified to capture at least 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns in size.

Internal Motorized Impeller Circulates Air.
CAP600 series and CAP1200 series Central Air Purifiers are designed to supply HEPA-filtered air to the entire conditioned space in the house without adding any load to the HVAC motor & blower. A powerful, internal motorized impeller pulls contaminated air out of the return, through the filters and pushes the purified air back into the return plenum. A typical installation can replace the entire volume of air in the home with purified air up to 75 times per day.

A HEPA Home is a Healthier Home.
CAP600 series and CAP1200 series units are designed for use in both new installations and for retrofit applications. CAP600 series models are designed for use in one to four ton forced-air systems. CAP1200 series models are designed for use in larger (four to ten ton) residential and commercial systems. One CAP unit is required for each HVAC system and installed by a licensed HVAC professional.

Simple Partial Bypass Installation
Installing CAP600 series and CAP1200 series units in a “partial bypass” configuration further enables the units to pull air through the highly-efficient filters without adding any appreciable load to the HVAC motor & blower. Bypass connections are made by cutting a 10-inch diameter hole into the return duct and connecting the inlet of the CAP unit to the duct with 10-inch rigid or flexible ducting. The exhaust of the CAP unit is similarly connected into the return duct or plenum downstream from the inlet connection to complete the "bypass loop".

Both models contain larger internal blower systems designed to handle the filtration requirements of HVAC systems that are four tons (1,600 cfm) or larger, plus have the added benefits of UV-C or UV Plus lamp technology. These units have four stages of filtration to handle the higher dirt-loading requirements of larger systems:
