Aireshield — Frequently Asked Questions

Reusable, ozone‑free plasma air disinfection for your HVAC system.

Aireshield by Reviveaire neutralizes airborne pathogens and clusters ultrafine particles so standard filters can capture them more effectively—boosting performance without added static pressure.

What is Aireshield?

Aireshield is a reusable HVAC air‑disinfection module that uses a confined non‑thermal plasma field to neutralize airborne pathogens and to cluster ultrafine particles so standard filters can capture them more easily.

How does Aireshield work?

Air passes through a confined plasma field (~5,500 volts, low amperage). The field disrupts pathogen membranes (neutralizing viability) and imparts electrical charges to particles, driving agglomeration (clumping). Larger clumps are readily captured by downstream filters.

Does Aireshield replace my filter?

Aireshield can serve as a standalone 1" filter, but it delivers the best results when installed first in the track (upstream), followed by a standard post‑filter (e.g., MERV 8 or MERV 13).

How does Aireshield affect MERV performance?

Pairing Aireshield with a downstream filter boosts capture efficiency: MERV 8 + Aireshield performs like MERV 13; MERV 13 + Aireshield approaches MERV 16—without the added static pressure of very high‑MERV filters.

Is Aireshield safe and ozone‑free?

Yes. Aireshield is certified ozone‑free under UL 2998. Independent testing shows ozone production below 1 ppb—well under recognized safety thresholds—and no harmful byproducts.

What contaminants does Aireshield address?

Viruses (including SARS‑CoV‑2 surrogates), bacteria, mold spores, smoke/PM2.5, and common allergens. Third‑party testing confirms >99% neutralization of representative pathogens.

Will Aireshield increase energy use?

No. By enabling high filtration performance at lower static pressure, Aireshield can reduce fan energy compared to high‑MERV/HEPA approaches. Many users see meaningful efficiency gains.

How long does Aireshield last and how do I maintain it?

Aireshield is washable and reusable, designed for a 10+ year service life. Maintenance is simple: clean the module about twice per year (or as needed based on environment).

What sizes and systems are supported?

Aireshield fits standard 1" residential tracks and can be paired with 2–6" tracks in commercial systems. Multiple units can be daisy‑chained in larger RTUs/AHUs. A 24"×24" module typically draws under 12 watts.

How does Aireshield compare to UV or ionization?

Unlike UV, Aireshield has no bulbs to replace and requires no dwell time. Unlike ionizers, Aireshield’s plasma is fully confined—no ions are emitted into occupied air—and it’s certified ozone‑free.

Is Aireshield compliant with current standards?

Testing aligns with ASHRAE 52.2 and supports ASHRAE 241 objectives for infectious aerosol control. Safety certifications include UL 2998 and CSA 22.2 No. 187.
