Does a comparison include the cost of a fan needed by one option but not the other?

The filter needs no fan of its own: it is passive, and the ventilation system's own fan moves the air.

NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through. In a forced-air system, the system's own fan moves air through the filter, and its resistance adds to the pressure the fan works against. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. Maintenance is the replacement of the filter itself, at the pressure drop and the interval stated on the product's own label. Where C-POLAR's pages compare NanoFlashing™ with other filters, they compare it with conventional filters as a class and name no competitor's model. A comparison means something only when both products are measured at the same airflow and under the same standard. This site publishes no noise measurement, no price and no running cost. General enquiries go to [email protected]. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

All questions

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
