Clean The Air At A Molecular Level
silverscreen
exposes harmful airborne gases and organisms to a
very specific spectrum of UV light and a patented titanium diox-
ide media. This combination causes the organisms to oxidize. This
process destroys the molecular structure, rendering organisms like
bacteria, viruses and more, into nothing more than simple, harmless
molecules. What's more, the silverscreen
system is non-toxic and
produces no ozone.
How silverscreen
Works
How silverscreen
Is Different Than Any Other Technologies
By applying UV light to titanium dioxide (TiO
2
), a chemical reac-
tion occurs. This reaction is referred to as Photocatalytic Oxidation
(PCO). UV light can cause the TiO
2
media to degrade and begin to
lose its effectiveness – in some cases as quickly as 90 days.
Vornado’s silverscreen
technology uses a patented coating pro-
cess to maintain the life of the TiO
2
screen for five years or more
with no degradation in performance. You only need to change the
UV Bulb once a year to maintain the peak performance of your air
purifier.
UV light is one of the components of the silverscreen
system. You can observe a subtle glow where the purified air exits the unit during
operation. The light you see is harmless and is a gentle reminder that the silverscreen
system is hard at work.
