De LightAir CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger combineert de gepatenteerde high density ionisatie luchtreiniging technologie met een duurzaam en extreem efficiënt gepatenteerd HEPA+ EcoPrecision filter. Deze luchtreiniger verwijdert met een efficiency van 99,9% bij PM0.1 zoals: ultra fijn stof, fijn stof, stof, rook, pollen, bacteriën, virussen, schimmels, uitwerpselen van de huismijt, huidschilfers van dieren, overige allergenen en nog veel meer. Deze efficiency is uniek voor een commerciële HEPA luchtreiniger. Daarnaast is de CellFlow stiller en energiezuiniger dan de meeste andere filter luchtreinigers met dezelfde capaciteit. 

De Cellflow Pro900 zet u op de grond of bevestigt u aan het plafond. 
Geschikt voor ruimten tot 190 m2. 

Zo werkt de CellFlow technologie

LightAir CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger

De gepatenteerde LightAir CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger biedt een unieke combinatie van een tweetal gepatenteerde technieken: high density ionisatie luchtreiniging met de HEPA+ Eco Precision filter luchtreiniging. De CellFlow Pro900 is daarmee in staat om ultra fijnstof deeltjes te verwijderen tot 0,1 µm (0,1 micrometer ofwel 0,0001 mm). Deze technologie is drie maal efficiënter dan de beste standaard HEPA luchtreinigers op de markt. Door de extreem lage luchtweerstand van het HEPA+ Eco Precision filter is de CellFlow techniek bovendien aanzienlijk stiller en energiezuiniger dan andere filter luchtreinigers met een vergelijkbare capaciteit. Het HEPA+ EcoPrecision filter is duurzaam. Het wordt geproduceerd van recyclebaar materiaal en heeft een lange standtijd tot 18 maanden. De CellFlow luchtreiniger zet u eenvoudig op de grond of bevestigt u aan het plafond. Met de handige afstandsbediening is de CellFlow eenvoudig te bedienen. 

Toepassing en capaciteit 

De CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger heeft een capaciteit tot 190 m2 ofwel 475 m3 en is daarmee bij uitstek geschikt voor kantoren, schoollokalen, wachtruimten, grote verblijfsruimte et cetera. Op de hoogste stand heeft de CellFlow Pro900 een CADR van 950 m3/uur. Dit betekent dat de luchtreiniger elk uur een equivalent van 950 kubieke meter absoluut schone lucht produceert. Wij adviseren om bij de grootte van de ruimte er rekening mee te houden dat de lucht elk uur 2 x compleet ververst wordt, waarmee we op een maximaal te reinigen inhoud komen van 475 m3 per luchtreiniger. 

Schaft u de luchtreiniger aan omdat er mensen en/of dieren met een allergie in een ruimte verblijven dan adviseren wij rekening te houden met een factor 3,5. Dat wil zeggen dat de lucht in de ruimte per uur 3,5 keer compleet ververst wordt. De oppervlakte die dan gereinigd kan worden per luchtreiniger wordt dan dus kleiner. 

De CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger heeft 3 standen. Bij een ventilatievoud van 2 zijn de capaciteiten in m2 en m3 bij een plafondhoogte van 2,5 meter als volgt:

Hoog - CADR 950 m3/uur - Voor ruimten tot 190 m2 ofwel 475 m3

Middel - CADR 450 m3/uur - Voor ruimten tot 90 m2 ofwel 225 m3

Laag - CADR 300 m3/uur - Voor ruimten tot 60 m2 ofwel 150 m3

U kunt de Cellflow luchtreiniger ook in grotere ruimtes gebruiken alleen zal dan de lucht minder snel gereinigd worden. Andersom, als u de luchtreiniger in een kleinere ruimte zet dan zal het apparaat op de laagste stand de lucht in de ruimte vaker verversen dan 2 x per uur. 

Wat haalt de CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger uit de lucht?

De LightAir CellFlow PRO900 luchtreiniger verwijdert extreem efficiënt pollen, bacteriën, virussen, rook, VOC's (vluchtige organische componenten) en formaldehyde, schimmels, allergenen zoals afkomstig van bijvoorbeeld huisdieren en de huisstofmijt, industriële verontreinigingen en meer uit de lucht. In basis verwijdert dit systeem alles wat in de lucht zweeft tot 99,99% efficient bij deeltjesgroette van PM 0.1 (een factor 25 tot 100 maal kleiner dan de fijnstof normen waar nu vooral meer gerekend wordt zijnde PM 2.5 (0,0025 mm) tot PM 10 (0,01 mm)).

Hoe werkt de CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger?

Met de Cellflow techniek brengt LightAir haar nieuwste gepatenteerde en ongeëvenaarde techniek op de markt. De gepatenteerde CellFlow technologie combineert high density ionisatie techniek met het gepatenteerde HEPA+ Eco Precision filter. Maar wat betekent dat nu?

De CellFlow Pro900 luchtreiniger haalt net als elke andere filter luchtreiniger lucht door het filter met behulp van een ventilator. Voordat de lucht door de luchtreiniger wordt geleid, wordt de lucht in een virtuele dome voor de luchtreiniger geladen middels een high density ionisator. De lucht wordt vervolgens door een pre filter geleid waarmee de grotere vuildelen worden verwijderd. Vervolgens wordt de lucht met daarin geladen vuildeeltjes door het gepatenteerde duurzame Eco Prcision filter geleid waar verontreinigingen tot PM0.1 (0,0001 mm) worden verwijderd. Achter het apparaat wordt schone lucht onder een hoek naar de zijkanten weggeblazen.

Door de extreem lage luchtweerstand van het HEPA+ Eco Precision filter werkt de luchtreiniger stiller en verbruikt de CellFlow aanzienlijk minder energie dan andere, traditionele filter luchtreinigers. Het filter gaat tot 18 maanden mee en adviseren wij eens per vier maanden te reinigen (stofzuigen). In tegenstelling tot filterluchtreinigers, waarbij de standtijd van het filter afhankelijk is van de vevuilingsgraad en het filter niets meer doet zodra deze verzadigd is, behoudt het HEPA+ EcoPrecision filter altijd zijn werking. Zelfs na 18 maanden heeft het filter nog een rendement van zo'n 95%!

Bevestiging LightAir Cellflow PRO900 luchtreiniger

De LightAir CellFlow PRO900 luchtreiniger zet u op de grond met behulp van de meegeleverde voet of hangt u aan het plafond. De CellFlow PRO900 luchtreiniger wordt geleverd inclusief afstandbediening zodat u het systeem altijd eenvoudig kunt bedienen. 

Health+

Wilt u naast fijnstof tevens ultra fijnstofdeeltjes verwijderen en wenst u inde ruimte aanwezige personen te beschermen tegen viruoverdracht door luchtmobiele virussen die nog niet door het CellFlow systeem zijn afgevangen (moeten immers wel eerst door het filter worden gezogen) dan beiden wij u middels een tweetal gepatenteerde technologiën dé oplossing voor:

  • De IonFlow techniek, een bewezen ultra high density ionisatie technologie die vooral wordt gebruikt door mensen met longziekten zoals COPD en ASTMA. Luchtreinigers met de IonFlow technologie zijn in staat deeltjes tot PM0.007 (0,000007 mm) te verwijderen! Ook is de ultra high density technologie bewezen in staat te zijn om virussen in de lucht te deactiveren waardoor het risico op luchtmobiele virusoverdracht met 97% wordt gereduceerd,
  • De CellFlow technologie waarmee extreem efficiënt en duurzaam alle verontreinigingen (dus ook luchtmobiele virussen) snel en met een efficiency tot 99,99% bij een deeltjes grootte tot PM0.1 worden verwijderd.

Combineert u de gepatenteerde LightAir CellFlow en IonFlow technieken met elkaar dan combineert u het beste uit beide werelden. Met de combinatie creëert u een absoluut schone, virusvrije omgeving waarin het risico op overdracht van ziekten als gevolg van de luchtmobiele overdracht met 97% wordt gereduceerd. Ideaal voor kantoor, wachtruimten, schoollokalen, veehouderijen, stoeterijen en veel meer locaties waar grote aantallen dieren en/of mensen samen komen.

De voordelen van de LightAir CellFlow Pro 900 luchtreiniger:

  • Doeltreffend

    Beyond the Usual Left/Right bifurcation
    When thinking about Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States, I am reminded of E.H. Carr's seminal work "What is History?" whereby he stated: "The belief in a hard core of historical facts existing objectively and independently of the interpretation of the historian is a preposterous fallacy, but one which it is very hard to eradicate". As Carr famously stated, millions of people had crossed the Rubicon, but only Julius Caesar's crossing in 49 BC has been given normative value by historians. For those familiar with the philosophical treatment of historical understanding in Tolstoy's War and Peace, this sentiment will ring true. A People's History is designed to give voice to those millions who passed the rubicon but never found their way into the annuals of history. A couple of points. This book was intended to be a supplement as opposed to a strictly chronological account of history that will give you the bullet points for the most important people, dates and events. [sic] It is not meant to be a replacement for a more standardized textbook. Secondly, Zinn did not hate America, and he in fact stated: "I want young people to understand that ours is a beautiful country, but it has been taken over by men who have no respect for human rights or constitutional liberties. Our people are basically decent and caring, and our highest ideals are expressed in the Declaration of Independence, which was that all of us have an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The history of our country, I point out in my book, is a striving, against corporate robber barons and war makers, to make those ideals a reality-and all of us, of whatever age, can find immense satisfaction in becoming part of that." Regardless of your political position, between the Great Recession and the Iraq war, there is a relevance to this sentiment that cuts across political lines. Now, what one will notice in the bulk of the one star reviews is the sense that either the reviewer has not read the book, they copied and pasted their criticism from another source or they have strictly given the book one star because it does not conform with their view of reality. "Blame America first", "socialism", "communism", "Marx, "liberal propaganda", you can easily get the gist of the talking points because many American conservatives apparently got the same memo in dismissing anything they don't agree with. The disservice they do to themselves and the sphere of ideas in the outright dismissal of any perspective which does not conform to their own is truly sad. When someone gives a book one star merely for not conforming to their view of reality,they have obviously lost the plot. In university I knew many conservative history professors who liked and used Zinn's work. They believed it was important to incorporate and deal with the claims that Zinn made. You cannot whitewash history and blindly stick by the most comforting narrative. That does not mean that one should agree with Zinn's conclusions or think that he has a monopoly on the truth. Zinn himself would not have wanted that. For those who claim Zinn is a socialist or any other kind of -ist, that he is not completely objective, they have obviously never done any research. Pure positivism was dismissed long ago. Even Max Webber started that our subjective bias comes in the moment we choose to study something, for by seeing the subject matter as valuable, we have placed a normative value on it. There is no pure value objectivity, stating one's position and bias from the outset is what responsible social scientists do these days. A dryly academic text with an obvious bias concealed by a detached form of writing gives a falsely omniscient perspective whose reality is psychological but not objective. However they write, they are just a person, and without expressing their biases it will inevitably turn up in their work without necessarily being obvious. This is far more dangerous than what Zinn does in stating his bias from the outset. So it is a red herring to dismiss Zinn for having a perspective. We all have one and it will come into whatever we do. There is no knowable, objective reality (for humans) living in the Platonic world of perfect forms. History was a puzzle of immeasurable size that was blown apart and the pieces scattered over the cosmos. The vast majority of the pieces are gone, never to return. We are stabbing at an imperfect speculation, not ultimate truth when we engage in historical study. Any physicist will tell you that the particle wave duality of light has pretty much closed the book on the notion that we can objectively, perfectly know anything. This book is important because the poison of partisan politics has come to dominate even the dialogue of academic research. If the sole criterion for giving a book one star is the notion that you don't agree with its thesis, then you obviously live in a fragile world and are incapable of being challenged intellectually. This book is of the upmost importance for the conservative to read and digest. In developing a coherent narrative of the United States, you need to wrestle with its sins and determine, despite our historical shortcomings and transgressions, what is it that makes this imperfect union the pinnacle of nation states if one agrees with that prospect. For the liberal, you should not view Zinn's work as the last word on anything, but rather use it as a stepping stone to further develop your own historical understanding and consider how well has American done on a relative scale in light of the political, societal and human failings that have marred all human civilizations. This book is well worth the challenges it presents, and should be a 5 star treat for the conservative who loves his country and wants to develop the most cogent and nuanced argument as to why that is the case despite those unsettling realities to be found in this book as well as the liberal who wants to give voice to his disaffection with certain aspects of American society and the reasons why we need to change it. This is not another tool in the mindless and poisonous Manichean bifurcation of American politics. It is a vehicle to help you strengthen and deepen your understanding of US history, regardless from which direction you are coming. Recommended to all who are interested in the journey of learning as opposed to a presupposed outcome that serves a vested interest.

    A 50 carat learning gem
    The teaching of American history in elementary and middle schools reminds one of the cleaning of a commode: any rings or crud are removed and the bowl is disinfected. It then looks shiny and pretty, as if no foul stuffs were ever deposited in it. The tall tales and antiseptic methodologies employed in the teaching of American history in these citadels of bias are finally being countered by some historians, who are also clearly biased but self-consciously so. They do not hesitate to study the foul stuffs that have been part of the history of the United States, and are willing to put up with the strong odors thereof. What results in their writings is a compilation of the facts that are left unreported by the sycophants of established educational hierarchies. The picture they paint is not a pretty one, but for those who desire the bare, naked truth, and not the stale platitudes of whitewashed historical analysis, it can be a grand viewing. The author of this book is one of these new historians, and he does not hesitate to dig deep into the real stories that have remained hidden for decades. Historical analysis of course is more then muckracking, and requires an accounting of what has occurred in the past without blinders. It also must put to rest the notion that historical events are controlled by a ruling elite, and the latter are not the distinguishing features of history. History is not a history of kings, queens, and princesses. They play a role but it is an ancillary one. The title of this book refreshingly reminds us of this. History is governed and directed by the actions of many individuals, known and unknown. The author calls them "the people", and their story is told unabashedly in this book. The author is clearly a socialist, but his attitude is one of a healthy skepticism towards government, and justified distrust of the military establishment. He reminds us that the draft was in place as early as the Revolutionary War, as were the exceptions granted for avoidance of it. For example in Connecticut Yale students and faculty were exempted from the draft, as were ministers and various government officials. There was also the familiar schism between officers and "ordinary" soldiers, and any in the latter class who chose not to respect this distinction were whipped severely. Wealthy individuals dominated the Continental Congress, but most "ordinary" soldiers were not getting paid. Some groups of "ordinary" soldiers rebelled and some executed by firing squad when the rebellion was suppressed (in one case by soldiers of George Washington himself who led the suppression). The author's commentary and documentation on the Revolutionary War certainly act as a counterexample against the belief that this war had universal support and thought of as a noble cause by the general populace of the time. The Revolutionary War, like all other wars, was an ugly, messy affair, and had its share of false patriotism, brutality, and cowardice, and it affected many other peoples that had no interest or stake in it: native American tribes such as the Iroquois and the Mohawk. These tribes did not come under the umbrella of the Declaration of Independence. Some of these tribes therefore launched, with complete justification, a guerilla war against the new American citizenry, especially when the latter decided to push westward and indulge itself in the forced acquisition of land. The author tells us of the smallpox biological warfare launched against the Appalachian tribes by the British, causing a major epidemic. He tell us of the thousands of black slaves who fought with the British in the Revolutionary War, as did the majority of the Indian tribes. He tell us of the keeping of slaves by Thomas Jefferson throughout his life, of the fact that most of the authors of the Constitution were men of wealth, and none were slaves, indentured servants, women, or men without property. He tell us of Shay's rebellion and its counter, the Riot Act, which allowed authorities to keep people in jail without trial, and of the defiance of Anne Hutchinson against the church fathers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He tells us of New Jersey's rescinding of women's right to vote in 1807, of a "feminist" movement as early as the 1840's, and of the founding in 1821 of the Troy Female Seminary by Emma Willard. The author reminds us that the war of 1812 was a conflict waged for expansion into Florida, Canada, and Indian territories, that Congress deliberately and without hesitation appropriated money for war against the Seminoles, and that President Van Buren openly bragged to Congress about the forced removal of Cherokees from lands east of the Mississippi. He reminds us of the doctrine of "manifest destiny" and its justification of the brutal war against Mexico waged by President James Polk in the 1840's with the jingoistic assistance of the newspapers (no other course would be rational some of them reported), with Mexico losing half its territory in the 1848 treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. He reminds us of the Anti-Renter movement in the Hudson valley of New York, and that the Renssalaer family at one time ruled over eighty thousand tenants. He reminds us of Dorr's Rebellion in Rhode Island that attacked the idea, and its perpetrators, that only landowners could vote. So yes, there is much in this book that is fascinating and that is food for a hungry and inquisitive mind. It certainly goes against the mainstream view, and any teacher of history will probably come under fire from those who employ them if they decide to discuss the facts and analysis in this book. The history of the United States has been one of brutality mixed with brilliance, the former of which is emphasized in the pages of this book. A future treatise might emphasize the latter, and together they can give a more accurate picture of what the United States is, what it has been, and its future potential.

    An amazing book ...
    Format: Paperback
    An amazing book. Reading the book helped me understand why the US is experiencing difficulties in "perceived righteousness" today. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to change the World for the better. Howard Zinn is a benevolent hacker: the kind of hacker I would like my children to be, and why not: all children to be. For me, Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States hacks history and defines a problem and offers a solution: 1. The problem: a one-sided patriotic history enslaves the masses, 2. The solution: a bottom-up, humanistic history empowers everyone and opens the doors for future reconciliations among different communities.(1) At this critical juncture of human history both are relevant not only for the US but rather for our race. A one-sided patriotic bias in history: at what cost? 1. hides wrongdoings and the associated guilt, 2. serves as the first line of defense to deflect current & future criticisms for the past & current mistakes, 3. tampers data gathering, silences questioning & divergence of opinions, 4. reduces communication among communities, 5. defines “the patriotic” and increases the chances of populating the armed forces, 6. defines the other: “the unpatriotic,” 7. increases insecurities, 8. evokes fears (of retribution, etc.) 9. can be misused to justify violence against “the other,” 10. builds a common memory for the masses, builds their egos so that these egos can later be exploited, 11. allows the word “culture” to be used as an equivalence: American culture = being American; (2) 12. a politician can mix these facts to incite emotional reactions of the masses and eventually reach a higher number of votes in a predetermined direction, inexpensively, 13. at school, in the media, in speeches of politicians, and during different rituals (starting with reciting the pledge of allegiance and singing of the national anthem) the patriotic history is repeated and reinforced. Under these conditions, the masses learn to repeat what is given to them. They shun away from questioning further. Their concept of free-will is replaced by a misplaced trust. They learn not to deviate from the norm: they are enslaved and are not even aware of this enslavement. Many words lose their meaning: “a more perfect Union” “Justice” “secure the Blessings of Liberty,” “democracy.” A higher degree of cynicism and later a deep feeling of helplessness ensue. There are costs to the individual, the family, the society. Since many worldwide look up to the US morally, the use of one-sided patriotic history in the US produces world leaders who imitate bad examples. Consequently, Humanity pays dearly. A bottom-up, humanistic history empowers everyone: 1. can eliminate ignorance, 2. can eliminate convenient forgetfulness, 3. can eliminate arrogance, 4. improve self-esteem, communication, & understanding 5. can reduce violence, 6. can empower the individuals and the masses: psychologically and economically and thus improve the quality of life, 7. can help the path to sustainable peace. Among the different communities, the wounds are real. A one-sided history often does not address all of these wounds. Denial freezes any possibility of a reconciliation. A reconciliation process would pass through an acceptance of a historical wrong doing. In time, mankind may realize that what Howard Zinn has started may be the building blocks of sustainable peace. As a new year starts, I wish upon all of us: nations, creeds, ethnicities, etc. our very own Howard Zinns. (1) In the US, these communities can be whites, blacks, American Indians, Mexicans, WASPS, Catholics, Jews, Moslems, Chinese, Japanese, etc. In Turkey, where I am from, these communities include the seculars, non-seculars, Alevites, Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Kurds, etc. (2) Most of us are led to believe that “being” American/WASP/Jewish/Moslem/... is a “culture;” we almost always have these attributes thanks to coincidences; i.e. we are born into these “states;” how can a state that is largely a coincidence, be culture? I would suggest that only what is done through our free-will is deemed culture. Interestingly worldwide, the education systems, the media, and politicians use and propagate the word “culture” to imply largely a static state, rather than the result of a willful action.
