  • Page 11: Bipolar Ionization

    Revolution. Bipolar Ionization Ionization In the output of the Revolution unit is the Ionizer. This patented bi-polar ionizer produces both negatively charged air molecules and positively charged air molecules. These charged molecules produce several effects: • Ionized particles can kill live bacteria in surrounding atmosphere. This provides an immediate benefit of cleaning the Revolutions output air even more, and helping to scrub clean the air around the unit.
