The objective of PACT is simple; It is to take all contaminants out of the occupied space and essentially makes every room a clean room by using the properties of collision acceleration and transport mechanism control. Most particles going into the PACT system are small and are influenced by the electrical field transport mechanism. When particles leave the PACT system the collision process has been initiated. They are made large enough to be controlled by airflow and thus get taken throughout the room, colliding with other particles, chemicals and gases which adhere to them. Then they get exhausted or go to the filter where they are efficiently collected and eliminated. PACT does two things: Causes collisions between sub-micron sized particles to form larger particles , thus changing them from being dominantly controlled by the electrical field transport mechanism to being controlled by airflow. Makes particles more neutral in charge . Particles will not only stay entrained in the airflow without being influenced by the electric field but will not be as likely to form strong bonds with surfaces and objects even if they should come in contact with them.
The Innovation and Design Process credits reward projects that exemplify sustainable strategies and building practices that are not fully embodied in existing LEED credit requirements. Exemplary performance can be demonstrated in two different ways: by reaching a new credit threshold or through the implementation of sustainable design approaches outside those defined by the LEED-NC scope. The above letter was written by Michael Colitz, Holland and Knight. PACT is the only air cleaning device that utilizes the principles of complete transport mechanism control. The system received two patents, first time to the patent office, because of its innovation and uniqueness and its tremendous performance capabilities.
It is imperative that the transport mechanisms are under control for particle reduction in the occupied space. Transport mechanisms are what makes particles (or contaminants) move from point A to point B. In every building environment there are forces present that determine these transport mechanisms. The major types of forces on particles in a building are caused by airflow and/or electromagnetic forces. Note: Particles in the micron size range are essentially not influenced by gravity. Even a 100 micron sized particle takes 8 seconds to drop 8 feet. A one micron sized particle takes 19 hours to drop 8 feet and a 0.1 micron particle takes 79 days to settle 8 feet! For small particles the dominating transport mechanism is electromagnetic fields. Note: As can be seen from the graph above, almost all particles are dominantly influenced by the electrical transport mechanism since almost all particles are less than a micron in size. In building environments there exist complex electrical fields that interact with particles. These interactions determine the deposition of contaminants in and on people, objects, ductwork, furniture and walls. The sources of these fields are the electrical lines and cables in the wall, fluorescent lights, computers, people, etc. For larger particles, airflow has a much greater influence. These particles have less free charge associated with them and they have more mass so that the electrical fields do not influence them as much. As a result the dominant transport mechanism is airflow for particles greater than approximately 3 - 5 microns. These larger particles tend to stay entrained in the air and get back to the filter for removal. The large particles we are referring to only make up about 1 % of the contamination in a building environment. The driver for the airflow transport mechanism is the HVAC equipment in a building. In summary: 1. As the particle size decreases the effect of the electrical field is dominant. 2. As the particle size increases the effect of airflow becomes more dominant. 3. For very large objects the effect of gravity dominates (that is why a desk doesn’t fly around the room).
What happens when particles collide with one another? They adhere to each other to form larger particles. With a consequential continuous decrease in the number of particles and an increase in particle size. This collision process is caused by Brownian motion (thermal coagulation), and or kinematic coagulation. Coagulation is the most important phenomenon for the interactions between particles. Electrical forces between particles can increase coagulation by enhancing Brownian motion. This is happening in nature all the time. Note: Collisions of particles with opposite charges increase but collisions between particles of the same charges are reduced. Therefore the net effect is little change in coagulation for particles in air. However, if these particles are treated properly there will be a significant increase in coagulation. Particles will attach firmly to any surface they come in contact with, not just to each other. For sub-micron particles, the small ones, these adhesive forces, such as Van deer Waals forces, electrostatic forces, and surface tension (all electrical forces) are extremely strong and far exceed the removal forces. Removal forces are mostly caused by airflow. Therefore, the smaller the particle the stronger the adhesive force and the less likely it can be removed from a surface (remember, small particles have more charge on them). Particles less than a couple of microns in diameter will not be removed by the forces found in HVAC equipment. This is because they will adhere to ducts and room surfaces and they will stay there, period. Now, if we can make the particles bigger, coagulate them, they can be easily dislodged by airflow and can be kept entrained in the air.
PACT does two things: Causes collisions between sub-micron sized particles to form larger particles, thus changing them from being dominantly controlled by the electrical field transport mechanism to being controlled by airflow. Makes particles more neutral in charge. Particles will not only stay entrained in the airflow without being influenced by the electric field but will not be as likely to form strong bonds with surfaces and objects even if they should come in contact with them. PACT is composed of 3 sections; The EU feeds the AU the desired electrical signals for proper operation. The AU is what does most of the work. It is placed in the appropriate location of duct or in the air handler to perform its function. It coagulates particles and makes large particles out of smaller ones thus making airflow the dominate transport mechanism. The CEU continues the collision process initiated in the AU and collects particles prepared by PACT.
There are a couple of different ways the AUs can be employed. In a large and air handler you can build the AU array as shown above. You connect the AUs like an erector set. AUs come in three sizes, 24 x 24”, 12 x 24”, and 12 x 12”. You build up the AU array and then blank off the rest. In some applications, only a small area need be conditioned and you don’t want to put Aus in an air handler. Two types of systems were developed for this purpose; The Air Purification System-2 (APS-2) is a horizontal air handler, without the coils, that includes the fan, AU, and CEU. This is a complete system that can deliver up to 2000 CFM. This system would be placed above the ceiling and duct work would run from the APS-2 to the desired space. The Air Purification System-C (APS-C) is a vertical air handler, without the coils, again, that includes the fan, AU, and CEU. This system would be used in a room or designated area. The system is in an attractive file cabinet case and takes up a small footprint.

Lake Tahoe Surgical Center Study. A PACT system was installed at Lake Tahoe surgical center. Lake Tower surgical center is a premier sports medicine, Orthopedic Hospital. Particle levels, and TVOCs were measured before and after the PACT system was installed. From the above it can be seen that both TVOCs and particles improved significantly after the PACT system was installed.
The above shows the significant standard deviation difference between the Facilities present HVAC system and the APS with PACT and the CEU.
