Gold Metal Air: 5 Olympic-Worthy Features of Airmega Air Purifiers

As the world's top athletes gather to compete on the global stage, it's the perfect time to explore how our Airmega air purifiers demonstrate gold medal-worthy performance in the quest for cleaner, healthier indoor air. Just as Olympians push the boundaries of human achievement, Airmega air purifiers set new standards for air purification technology. 

Let's take an exciting journey through Airmega's world-class features, drawing fun parallels to Olympic events to see why these air purifiers deserve a place on the podium.

Precision Filtration: Hitting the Bullseye

Much like an Olympic archer carefully aims to hit the center of the target, Airmega's powerful HEPA filtration system captures pollutants with incredible precision. The True HEPA filter in Airmega purifiers can remove 99.999%1 of ultra-fine particles as small as 0.01 microns.

This level of accuracy is crucial for removing the tiniest airborne contaminants, such as viruses, bacteria, and fine dust, that can impact our health. Just as Olympic archers train relentlessly to achieve pinpoint accuracy, Coway's engineers have refined the Airmega filtration system to deliver gold medal-worthy performance in capturing even the most elusive particles.

Multi-Stage Purification: A Well-Coordinated Relay Team

The multi-stage purification process in our HEPA airpurifiers works as seamlessly as a well-coordinated Olympic relay team, with each component playing a crucial role in achieving clean air victory. 

Let's break down this winning lineup:

  1. Pre-filter (The Lead Runner): Captures larger particles like dust and pet hair, setting the stage for the next filtration phases.
  2. Activated Carbon Filter (The Middle Distance Runner): Absorbs odors and harmful gases, maintaining steady progress in air purification.
  3. Bipolar Ionizer (The Support Team): Generates ions to further reduce airborne contaminants, ensuring a photo-finish victory for clean air.
  4. True HEPA Filter (The Anchor Leg): Delivers the final, decisive performance by capturing ultra-fine particles with 99.97%1 efficiency.

This perfectly synchronized team effort ensures that Airmega air purifiers deliver comprehensive air cleaning, tackling a wide range of pollutants with Olympic-level efficiency.

State-of-the-Art Sensors: Split-Second Accuracy

In many Olympic events, victory can come down to mere fractions of a second. Similarly, Airmega's state-of-the-art air quality sensors demonstrate split-second accuracy in monitoring your indoor environment. These high-tech sensors continuously measure air quality, detecting changes as quickly and precisely as Olympic timekeepers.

The real-time air quality indicator on Coway’s HEPA airpurifiers uses a color-coded LED ring to provide instant feedback on your indoor air quality:

  • Blue: Good air quality
  • Green: Moderate air quality
  • Orange: Unhealthy air quality
  • Red: Very unhealthy air quality

This instant visual feedback allows you to track your indoor air quality in real time. The sensors also enable Airmega's smart modes to automatically adjust purification levels, optimizing performance like Olympic athletes.

Quiet Operation: The Grace of a Gymnast

While Olympic gymnasts captivate audiences with their graceful, near-silent performances, Airmega air purifiers work their magic with an equally impressive quiet operation. Despite their powerful purification capabilities, these units maintain noise levels as low as 22dB in sleep mode–quieter than a whisper!

This whisper-quiet performance is achieved through advanced fan design and noise-reduction technologies. The result is an air purifier that delivers gold medal-worthy air cleaning without disrupting your daily life or sleep.

Energy Efficiency: Marathon-Like Endurance

Marathon runners demonstrate incredible endurance, pacing themselves to maintain peak performance over long distances. Airmega purifiers show similar stamina when it comes to energy efficiency, delivering long-lasting air purification without excessive power consumption.

Features like Eco Mode automatically stop the fan when no pollution is detected for 30 minutes, conserving energy like a marathoner saving strength for the final push. Many Airmega models are also Energy Star certified, meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and Department of Energy.

This commitment to energy efficiency means Airmega purifiers can provide continuous air purification without running up your energy bills–a true test of endurance.

Smart Connectivity: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

In team sports like volleyball or basketball, seamless communication and coordination are key to victory. Airmega's smart connectivity features bring this same level of teamwork to your smart home ecosystem.

Select Airmega models offer Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to control and monitor your air purifier through a smartphone app or voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Home. This integration enables features like:

  • Remote control and monitoring
  • Scheduling and timer functions
  • Real-time air quality updates
  • Filter life tracking and replacement reminders

This smart connectivity allows your Airmega purifier to work in harmony with your other smart home devices, optimizing your indoor environment with minimal effort.

Coverage Area: Dominating the Field

While competing, athletes often need to cover the greatest distance or area.  Airmega brings this same spirit of expansive coverage to air purification. Our design and technology make Airmega a top finisher as a small to large room air purifier.  

For example:

  • Airmega 150: Ideal for spaces up to 1,035 sq. ft., circulating air once per hour 
  • Airmega Mighty (AP-1512HH): Covers areas up to 1,748 sq. ft., circulating air once per hour 
  • Airmega 250: Suitable for rooms up to 1,860 sq. ft., circulating air once per hour 
  • Airmega 400: Capable of purifying spaces up to 3,120 sq. ft., circulating air once per hour

This range of coverage ensures there's an Airmega model suited to dominate the air purification needs of virtually any indoor space, from cozy apartments to spacious homes and offices.


A Podium-Worthy Performance

As we've seen, Coway's Airmega air purifiers truly deliver a gold medal-worthy performance in the world of air purification. From their precision filtration and multi-stage purification process to their state-of-the-art sensors and smart features, these units demonstrate the same level of excellence, innovation, and dedication to performance that we see in Olympic athletes.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

4The concentration of ammonia, acetaldehyde and acetic acid were proven to be removed within 30 minutes by FCG Research Institute, Inc. Human Life Science Lab. It is not a demonstration result in the actual use space. Not all odors and gases may be supported. → Tested with Coway Airmega 150, 160, AP-1512HH, AP-1512HHS, 400, 400S

5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
