The advantage of the FT is that exchange of air in the room is unnecessary and the indoor air itself is not circulated.
All unwanted substances in the air have an electric charge (also described in the periodic system chart). The Fenzer machine has a Faradays cage creating a negative magnetic field that will attract the charged substances. Inside the cage is a 700°C hot copper plate. The heat will burn off any “live” organisms like pollen, bacteria, fungal substances etc. Dust or dirt will be carbonized and the humidity in the air will be purified.
The humidity will also be attracted by the hydroscopic copper as well as the cage. The CO, CO₂, aerosols etc. are held in position by the magnetic field in the cage. When the cyclic water flushing takes place the gases will be caught in the water fog and drained out with the water. The carbonized dust, dirt and bacteria having formed a layer on the warm copper plate will also be drained after the water creates shock cooling of the copper plate.
When poor indoor quality becomes a challenge, it is due to the existence of one or more of the following:
- Lack of building maintenance causing water leaks to penetrate the building
- Insufficient indoor air filtration treatment
- Heavy outdoor air pollution where the pollutants are brought indoors through the ventilation system
The Fenzer solution has, through more than 100 trials, developed and optimized a technology to cope with the above.
