Indoor Air Quality – Industry Test Methods
• Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)
• DOP (Dioctyl Pthalate)
• ASHRAE 52.1 – 1992
– Weight Arrestance
– Dust Spot
• ASHRAE 52.2 – 1999 (MERV)
Indoor Air Quality – Industry Test Methods (cont.)
• Clean Air Delivery Rate
– Designed for portable room air cleaners.
– Measures overall effectiveness of the air cleaner (air
flow/efficiency/natural decay).
– Rated on pollen, dust and smoke.
• DOP (Dioctyl Pthalate):
– MIL Standard 282
– Designed for cleanroom type filters.
– Measures penetration of 0.3/0.12 micron particles through
HEPA/ULPA filters.
Indoor Air Quality – Industry Test Methods (cont.)
• ASHRAE 52.1 – Weight Arrestance
– Determines initial pressure drop across filter.
– Determines dust holding capacity of filter.
– Efficiency determined by calculating the percent removed by
weight of the test dust (Arizona road dust and carbon black).
– Designed for low efficiency filters.
• ASHRAE 52.1 – Atmospheric Dust Spot
– Uses outdoor air for testing.
– Efficiency determined by comparing staining of test paper
upstream and downstream of the filter.
– Efficiency based on the average efficiency over the useful life of
the filter.
– Designed for high efficiency filters.

Air Bear Supreme (cont.)
• Extended surface,17-pleat filter design
– Minimizes pressure drop
(0.22”w.c. @ rated air flow)
– Maximizes dust holding capacity (190 grams)
– Increases filter life
• 100% electrostatically charged synthetic fibers
– Enhances filter performance
– Minimizes initial pressure drop
– Helps prevent microbial growth
• Gaskets to prevent air by-pass
• MERV 8 efficiency
Pleat Alignment Comparison
Pleat alignment on competitive filter
is poor because there are are no
support fingers upstream.
Poor pleat alignment will result in
higher pressure drop after
installation than literature shows and
shorter filter lifecycles.
The Trion filter has perfect
pleat alignment due to
design of support fingers
on the upstream (air entry)
side of the filter.
Air Bear Supreme with Specially-Designed
Support Fingers
Trion’s Internal Support Fingers are
designed with dual edge “tabs” which
hold the support finger in place during
operation, even under tough
conditions.
Leading Competitive Filter without Anchor
Tabs on Support Fingers
Competitive Filter has no tabs to secure the
support fingers in place. This allows
movement of the supports during shipping,
handling, and operation. When the support
fingers move, the pleats become
misaligned.
Air Bear Right Angle
• Ideal for installations requiring a 90 Degree
Adapter.
• Built-in Duct Work/Adjustable Duct Opening
– eliminates the need for field forming transition
– significantly reduces installation time
• Space-Saving Design - saves 6” to 8” as
compared to competitive products with 90
degree turns.
Air Bear Right Angle (cont.)
• Right / Left hand installation
• Works as Turning Vanes - for even distribution
of air across the filter
• 2000 CFM
• Uses the same filter as the Air Bear Supreme
2000
• Outside Dimensions:
15 1/2”W x 24 3/4”D x 23 3/8”H
Why the Air Bear Supreme?
• 5-10 times more efficient than traditional 1” throw away filters
• Effectively removes particulate such as mold spores, pollen, and dust
• Protects coils
• Fail safe product
• Replacement media business

Ionizer:
Forever Filter/Collector:
High voltage ionization electrically
charges airborne pollutants/particles
such as dust, bacteria, smoke, mold
spores and pollen.
Works like a powerful magnet to attract
and retain charged particles. This keeps
harmful irritants from being constantly
re-circulated into the home. Washable and
never needs to be replaced.

• Oxygen(O2) with an extra oxygen atom
– Ozone is heavier than air
– Ozone is highly unstable
– Ozone dissipates quickly with air flow
• How is ozone produced?
– Ozone is by-product of high voltage
– Ozone is created when sun rays react with
air pollution(automobile exhaust)

Ozone pick-up tube was 2" downstream of unit.
Ozone pick-up tube was 3’ downstream of unit.
Each reading was taken after 5 minutes at CFM
& output setting.
Original tests were conducted with cells &
prefilters only.
An additional test was ran with the addition of
carbon post filters. The test started under the
worst case scenario; the lowest CFM and the
highest power output setting. The result was
less than 2 ppb of ozone. The test was stopped
at this point since all other settings would give
the same results or less.
