Owner Installing Ion Air Cleaners in Building Elevators

Coretrust Capital Partners, an owner of multiple large office buildings, is pioneering the installation of air-cleaning bi-polar ionization generators in its elevators, the company announced via Yahoo Finance in September. The company is adding the devices and modernizing the elevators at its buildings in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Pasadena, California, working with each building’s vertical-transportation provider. The bi-polar technology produces a climate with electrically charged positive and negative ions, like those that exist in nature. The ions are pumped into the elevator cab through the ventilation system, bringing a natural air-purifying process that neutralizes bacteria and virus cells, molds, odor-causing particles, aerosols and other potentially hazardous airborne substances. Fujitec America installed the IONFUL air purifier (co-developed with Sharp Corp.) and modernized the elevators at 2 Liberty Place in Philadelphia. Other elevators receiving this treatment were in the building FourFortyFour in Los Angeles, updated by Otis; and PASARROYO in Pasadena, with the work done by Mitsubishi Electric U.S. Elevators and Escalators.
