Doraville, GA — Purafil, Inc. is proud to announce that the Purafilter® – OA (Outside Air) was recently award the Gold Award for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in the 2007 Dealer Design Awards (DDA).

Chris Muller, Purafil Technical Director, explained, "We looked at the major contaminants in outside air such as nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, ozone, and VOCs, and designed the Purafilter® – OA to better address these contaminants than other Purafil media types."

The DDA's recognize contractor-oriented products with features that assist in installation, maintenance, and service of installed products to the HVAC&R industry. An independent panel of 51 contractors acted as judges in the contest that had 106 entries from 73 manufacturers. The product entries are divided into 13 categories and the winners are presented with Gold, Silver or Bronze awards along with 13 Honorable Mentions. Each product entry was rated based on ease of installation, maintenance, service, overall design, uniqueness, and impact on the HVAC&R industry.

The Purafilter® – OA is a combination particulate and chemical filter. As the product's name denotes, the Purafilter® – OA is designed for use in high-occupancy commercial environments, such as hospitals, office buildings and airports, in which the outdoor air quality is questionable and optimal indoor air quality is a requirement. Yet in addition to those environments, the Purafilter® – OA can be used in other facilities for general odor control from indoor or outdoor contaminant sources.
