A workforce of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, has developed a novel know-how that turns ACs into inexpensive air purifiers.



Researchers from the IIT Kanpur and IISc Bengaluru developed an anti-microbial air purification know-how which was utilized by air filters, in response to an official report.

“The novel air purification technology used in these air filters has successfully proven its efficiency towards protecting us from life-threatening viruses. This innovation is a great addition to the R&D work IIT Kanpur is involved in,” Ankush Sharma, Professor-in-charge of Innovation and Incubation, IIT Kanpur mentioned in a press release.

In the winter, an air conditioner geared up with this progressive air filter system from IIT Kanpur can purify the air with a 99 per cent filtration effectivity, mentioned the report.

“This indigenous revolutionary innovation has tremendous potential to succeed in the global market. This launch is indicative of technology catering to critical world problems,” Amitabha Bandyopadhyay, Co-Professor-in-charge of Innovation and Incubation, IIT Kanpur mentioned in a press release.

This new sort of air filter has confirmed to limit microbial development and is able to capturing PM 2.5, PM 10, mud, pollen, allergens and germs from the air whereas purifying, the report added.
