Captures up to 97% of the Particles Standard Furnace Filters Miss

Do your customers notice dust on furniture and other surfaces of their home? Do they have problems with pollen or suffer from allergies? CAP50 and CAP100 series models are professionally installed into a home’s central HVAC system to continuously remove allergens, irritants and pollutants from the air before they can enter the living space.

To the homeowner, these models deliver a cost-effective solution to the problem of indoor air pollution. To your business, these systems offer an attractive way to expand your services and jump in on a growing market opportunity.

These basic units feature a unique two-stage filtration system that effectively captures particulates and is economical to operate. The CAP50-U model is designed with 16” x 25” filters for smaller tonnage HVAC forced-air systems and heat pumps. The larger CAP100-U model has 20” x 25” filters and is designed for systems up to 4 tons (1,600 cfm).

Both models feature an inexpensive one-inch deep prefilter that removes larger particles and extends the life of the more expensive final-stage filter. When dirty, it is thrown away and replaced, just like the original one-inch furnace filter.

The high-capacity, five-inch deep final filter captures invisible particles that pass through standard filters, such as fine dirt and dust particles, soot, animal hair and dander, and pollens. This filter has achieved an outstanding MERV 11 efficiency rating in tests following the ASHRAE 52.2 standard.

Germicidal Upgrade Option

Homeowners who install the CAP50-U or CAP100-U can upgrade these models later to add germicidal UV-C or UV Plus technology by purchasing a special upgrade module from the installing contractor/dealer. Since the upgrade module inserts into the existing CAP50-U or CAP100-U cabinet, installation is fast and inexpensive. Some HVAC contractors who specialize in new home construction include the basic models as part of the original installation, and offer the upgrade modules at an extra cost.

CAP50-UV and CAP100-UV Models with UV-C Lamp Module

Homeowners can also get the benefits of germicidal UV technology from day one by purchasing the CAP50-UV or CAP100-UV model. These units combine the same MERV 11 particulate filtration with a powerful UV-C ultraviolet lamp, which irradiates bacteria, viruses and other microbial contaminants as they pass the lamp in the air stream, or are trapped on the special UV-resistant final filter.

Built-in safety features include an electrical interlock switch that instantly deactivates the lamp when the filter access door is opened. Both models feature high-capacity, non-ozone producing lamps and are safety certified by Environmental Testing Laboratories.

CAP50-UVP and CAP100-UVP Models with UV Plus Lamp Module

Molds and fungi can grow in moist areas of the HVAC system creating unpleasant odors and toxins. UV-C lamps installed in the evaporator coil can reduce these problems, but surfaces of the A-coil that are not directly visible to the lamp are sometimes difficult to irradiate effectively. In addition, many plastic drain pans can be degraded by continuous UV exposure.

The CAP50-UVP and CAP100-UVP models have all the same features as the UV models but replace the UV-C lamp with a UV Plus lamp. In addition to UV-C in the germicidal frequency, this lamp emits UV-C at 180 to 200 nanometers producing a controlled level of trivalent oxygen, or ozone, used primarily for odor and VOC control.

Ozone is a gas that can permeate the hidden nooks and crannies of the HVAC system where it can react with microbial contaminants and VOC, and break down unpleasant odors. Since ozone is very reactive and breaks down quickly, the HVAC return location of the CAP unit helps ensure that ozone levels in the occupied living space are not affected.

Ozone is widely used in the fire and disaster restoration industry to remove odors from smoke, sewage or decomposition. UV Plus models are especially suitable for homes susceptible to mold growth and microbial odors caused by high-humidity climates or moisture problems, or for homes with chronic odor problems from smokers, cooking or pets.

Whole House Air Purification using Germicidal UV Technology

Germicidal UV (UV-C) has been used to control bacteria and other bioaerosols, and for odor control in hospitals, food processing and the pharmaceutical industry for more than 50 years. Now, the CAP300 series Central Air Purifiers make this same technology available to homeowners at a winning price point that delivers more profit for your business. These in-duct lamp models were designed to help control the formation of molds, bacteria and other health-threatening microbes that can live and multiply inside the crevices of a forced-air HVAC system.

Designed to Fit Home Air Filtration Systems

The CAP300 series models are a perfect add-on sale for residential service contractors during a clean and check service visit. These models are designed for installation into most forced air HVAC systems in 10 minutes or less, either as a stand alone UV air purifier; or, as a way to add germicidal UV protection for HVAC systems that are already equipped with a high-efficiency particulate filtration. They can be installed into metal duct, fiberglass duct board or round pipe. Once installed, these models irradiate the air circulating through the system 24-hours per day. The high-output quartz lamp covers a wide range of duct and evaporator coil sizes. These are Class II medical devices, and are laboratory certified to meet applicable UL and CSA electrical safety standards.

CAP300-UV for Effective Control Against Microbes

The CAP300-UV model is equipped with a powerful germicidal UV-C lamp that produces no ozone. The CAP300-UV unit provides best results in above-coil installations. This location allows the lamp to continuously irradiate bacteria, viruses and other microbes on the exposed surfaces of the coil fins to high levels of germicidal UV.

CAP300-UVP for Ultra-High Performance in Wet, Damp Areas

The CAP300-UVP model is equipped with a UV Plus lamp that combines a high-performance germicidal UV-C lamp with photolysis for the strongest defense against the formation of molds and mold-related odors. The CAP300-UVP must be installed on the return side to allow for the oxidized gas reaction to penetrate into the downstream HVAC components most susceptible to mold growth and microbial odor generation. The CAP300-UVP is especially effective against organisms that may be growing in the nooks and crannies of the heat exchanger and in other locations difficult to expose to UV light.
