A peek inside North Box Systems World Headquarters...OK, it's the top floor of an apartment but we make it work! #airpurifier #indoorairquality #CovidIsAirborne #wildfiresmoke #smallmanufacturing
The folks at House Fresh tested a bunch of 140mm PC fans and it looks like we made a good decision going with the Arctic P14 Pro for our Polaris Ultra. A good balance between cost / performance / noise level: #IndoorAirQuality #AirPurifier #WildfireSmoke #CovidIsAirborne youtu.be/Rlz37IdCcIE?...

Lots of fun toggling between controlling the CO2 and keeping the particle count low! #wildfiresmoke #indoorairquality #airpurifiers
Just changed filters on "La Hacienda", dedicated to the legendary Manchester night club. A little "danger tape" to customize the look! #airpurifier #lahacienda #neworder #thebirthdayparty #thefall
Woke up today to a Martian-like sky, wildfire smoke has engulfed Toronto in a big way! We are trying our best to pump out air purifiers but they are all hand-built and demand has been high this year! #wildfiresmoke #indoorairquality #airpurifiers
Here's the difference in particulate matter readings inside and outside. Inside I run multiple air cleaners, including ones from @northboxsystems.bsky.social . Outside, it's wildfire smoke.

Why are we still making air purifiers targeting Coronavirus? There is no downside to cleaner air but the suggestion that Covid is over is just not supported by the facts: #CovidisAirborne #LongCovid #IndoorAirQuality x.com/keetmuise/st...

We want to be proven wrong, but until public health does their job we are all in deep trouble. Here is the link to 488,000 publications on the dangers of Covid. https://t.co/ZzkR7exPWR

Wildfire season is well under way and this is the first 10 of almost 50 air purifiers for the BC Wildfire Service. They will help protect their crews from airborne smoke particles while they sleep in their tents set up nearby active fires. #wildfiresmoke #airpurifier
Here is our prototype activated carbon air cleaner. I'm hoping it will be effective against wildfire smoke VOCs. It uses 3 x Arctic P14 Pro fans with a speed controller. #VOC #IndoorAirQuality #AirPurifier #wildfiresmoke
This is either the world's largest PC fan air purifier...or a stack of custom machines for wildfire-fighters! #airpurifier #indoorairquality #wildfiresmoke
It ain't pretty but here is the working prototype of the "SmokeBuster". A Dupont Activated Carbon "odor and VOC filter" with 3 stacked P14 Pro speed controllable fans. Getting this ready in time for wildfire season, this year could be really bad. #wildfiresmoke #airpurifier #carbonfilter
3D printing some prototype parts for our new stand-alone carbon filter designed to help mitigate VOC gasses. Wildfire season is rapidly approaching and I'm hoping to have these ready soon! #airpurifier #VOC #wildfiresmoke #indoorairquality

Very interesting study, indoor air quality is a lot more complex than most people realize!
Dustin Poppendieck @poppendieck.bsky.social · 4mo agoIf you size a air cleaner, you need to size it to the mixing volume, not the room volume! "... room dimensions underestimate the mixing volume of a space..." Size the CADR to the volume between closed doors. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
Working on something new to deal with wildfire VOCs that uses a Dupont activated charcoal filter and three stacked Arctic P14 Pro fans. Design inspired by Alex / The Fandelier's warp cores. @thefandelier.bsky.social #voc #wildfiresmoke #indoorairquality
We've been noticing that some brands of air filters get snagged at the bottom of the frame when you insert them, there is an easy fix detailed in this video: youtu.be/-mxnm_5P3gE

Picking up the first batch of aluminum panels from our new fabricator shop, located a lot closer to help reduce our carbon footprint by avoiding a lot of shipping. Now it's testing phase to make sure we didn't mess anything up! #manufacturing #airpurifiers #CovidIsAirborne
