The AirKleen Solution

Traditional Bus Air Systems: Traditional air systems are designed to create turbulence or mix the air for an even temperature for comfort. While good for comfort, this is our worst enemy when it comes to air quality management. The turbulence will actually cultivate the air and stir up pathogens and bacteria throughout the cabin area, thus actually spreading sickness.

In contrast, our U.S. Patented “High Volume Low Turbulence” (HVLT) provides a sheet of air that is supplied from a continuous perforated plenum and drawn down to the floor via return air duct routing it back to our air processing unit where the air is sterilized. “Studies have shown that exhaled water droplets or aerosols can stay suspended in the air for as long as 10 minutes in a stagnant environment or be pulled across a cabin via an air current infecting others.” Our system will pull these aerosols down to the floor and away from passengers, allowing the air to be fully sterilized and resupplied back into the cabin.

The Elephant in the Room: It is no secret that school bus transportation has been the missing link in the pathogen mitigation process of our school systems. The reasoning for this is that there are many products promising a safer environment; However, the science of their products fail to provide a complete and effective solution.

With the advanced development of HVLT by AirKleen, we finally have a permanent solution to this existential threat via a groundbreaking patented technology that truly benefits mankind and achieves the results that our children deserve. 

Like a room in a building, you must control the air via a closed loop of ductwork in order to efficiently manage and treat it. AirKleen’s “closed loop” system will fully cycle and sterilize all of the air in the school bus cabin in approximately 3 minutes. In addition, the “closed loop” system prevents the intake of outside air that may entail harmful pollutants, including carbon monoxide, due to most buses being fossil fueled and positioned in a vehicular traffic environment.

In addition to our understanding of aerodynamics for efficient air management is our understanding of mechanical equipment and the importance of corporate redundancy such as multiple UV-C bulbs and multiple high CFM Spal™ fans. Even With the loss of a single fan or a bulb our system is still going to operate and protect the occupants.
