Summary
HVAC podcast hosts Deanna and Jenny interview Jared Fetter, VP of International Sales for Tadiran, about their Airow 3 air purification technology. The device uses corona discharge to convert moisture in the air into hydrogen peroxide, which is then distributed into conditioned spaces to neutralize airborne pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and mold. The Tadiran Airow 3 is designed for ductless mini-split systems and is the only maintenance-free hydrogen peroxide generator on the market, with a lifespan of up to 10 years and consuming just one watt of energy. It is certified ozone-free (UL 2998) and ion emission-free. While this episode is about an air purification product rather than H2O2 therapy, it demonstrates the antimicrobial properties of hydrogen peroxide in a commercial application.
Key Points
- The Tadiran Airow 3 generates hydrogen peroxide from air moisture using corona discharge
- H2O2 is described as the most environmentally friendly biocide, decomposing to water and oxygen
- The device is maintenance-free with up to 10-year lifespan and 1-watt energy consumption
- Certified ozone-free (UL 2998 at 5 ppb threshold) and ion emission-free
- Designed for ductless mini-split and high-wall HVAC systems
- Targets airborne pathogens: viruses, bacteria, and mold
- Takes a proactive approach by distributing H2O2 into the space rather than filtering air passively
Key Moments
Hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally friendly air purifier
The Tadiran Airow 3 uses corona discharge to generate hydrogen peroxide from air moisture, distributing it into indoor spaces to neutralize airborne pathogens without ozone or ion emissions.
"We generate hydrogen peroxide, which is a very, very environmentally friendly cleaning mechanism that is based on the combination of oxygen and water."
