What’s inside count
Airfree Iris 3000 patented Thermodynamic TSS technology works in a similar fashion as boiling water. When particles flow through the air convection, the mini-ducts will begin the heating process. This will go on for a couple of minutes until it reaches a boiling point of 400°F (200°C). The increased temperature will kill off any microorganisms that are trapped within. After that, the air will be left cool off in the air purifier before release back out in the wild. The whole process is safe, eco-friendly, release no emission or ion. There is no maintenance needed as no filter is used during the entire purification. In fact, research in Sweden also shown that Airfree Iris 3000 can help reduces ozone by 26%.
