Bipolar Ionization System
The YMCA at VT is proud to announce that it has increased its already stringent COVID-19 protocols at the Y Center Thrift Shop and Pottery Studio with a newly-installed HVAC ionization system - Nu-Calgon iWave-C bipolar ionization generators.
iWave-C is a self-cleaning, bi-polar ionization generator for actively treating a building’s air quality. 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 plamsa region that actively purifies the supply air, killing mold, bacteria and viruses in the coil and the space. The ionization process also reduces allergens and static electricity, without creating ozone or any harmful byproducts. Read more about Bipolar ionization at Business Insider HERE.
