The Dyna-Fresh Air Quality Control System brings outdoor air inside to make a more comfortable and healthy environment. When tightly insulated homes have windows and doors shut, stale air is sealed out. The key to eliminating moisture, bacteria, carbon monoxide, and household odors during poor weather times is getting fresh air indoors. Dyna-Fresh draws air into the home or workplace through a motorized round damper. This fresh air is mixed with the indoor air already inside a heating/cooling system and then circulated through the existing ductwork. Stale air is then vented out through an existing ventilation (e.g., bathroom exhaust fan) system.

The patented R+ in-duct UV air treatment system is specially designed to destroy biochemical contaminants that continually circulate throughout the HVAC system. Working together, the high-intensity UV “J” lamp, turbulator, and aluminum reflecting chamber deliver the necessary UV dosage and dwell time to destroy thousands of airborne contaminants, including viruses, bacteria, mold, chemicals, odors, and VOCs, which dramatically improves indoor air quality. The R+ system relies on a microprocessor that senses airflow even at very low velocities and turns on the system accordingly. The R+ includes a 3-inch backlit LCD display that provides important installer and user information.
