Cabin Air Technologies, LLC Introduces the Cabin Air Purifier Portable Cabin Air Purifier in the center of rear seat Trunk version with armrest serving as clean air duct. Opening above armrest allows air to be pulled from cabin into purifier in trunk.
What is the Technology? Portable Cabin Air Purifier to operate inside a variety of motor vehicles Highly effective for capturing toxic gases Highly effective for capturing fine particles: –Bacteria (e.g. anthrax)-- Heavy Metals -- Asbestos –Viruses (e.g. small pox) -- Diesel Soot -- Smoke –Radiation particles-- Sulfates, Nitrates Long lasting – packed beds of adsorbent filter media and HEPA filter do not require frequent replacement Versatile – can be quickly adapted to target specific contaminants Unobtrusive – flexible placement; does not obscure vision or movement of personnel
How is the technology secured? International patent # PCT/US01/04241 Preliminary Examination Report found all claims meet patent requirements for novelty, inventiveness and industrial applicability. National stage patents pending in: * USA * All European Region Countries * Mexico* Canada * India * Singapore * China* Japan
Commercial application targets 1. Health-conscious commuters who want protection from lung damaging and carcinogenic air pollutants 2. Emergency response workers, local, State and Federal 3. Niche markets: Police vehicles, limousines, rental cars, hospital and nursing home rooms
Development Status What’s done: –Extensive research and development on basic and specific filtration methods –4 different models of prototypes built –Successful field testing on congested and highly polluted highways What’s left to do: –Commercialization –Laboratory testing on agents of biological, chemical, and radiological warfare –Field testing in military simulations
Test Results Passengers confirmed Cabin Air Purifier’s effectiveness with subjective rating system Toxic gases dramatically reduced (summa canister capture & analysis by independent lab) Fine and gross particulate matter dramatically reduced (real time DataRAM monitor in vehicles) All air pollutants reduced sufficiently to meet government ambient air health standards

How Can Cabin Air Purifiers help the DoD? Protect military and emergency response personnel from hazardous airborne contaminants in vehicles and other enclosed structures: –Mash Units APCs Tanks AmbulancesHelicopters –Command Posts at Disaster Sites –Ready rooms on Aircraft Carriers Filter media in Purifier quickly modifiable to meet specific pollutants unleashed in attack Portability of Purifiers enables existing military vehicles to serve also as “ Clean Air Shelters ”
