Today I filmed a video to present the AirFant 3Pro crbox which is very popular in China. Check it out. It will be available by end of March on Amazon US and Canada.
I donated a 3Pro to a doctor that I followed on social media in China.
Instead of put it in his own office to protect himself, he put it in the patient room to protect others.
After a few months, he posted and here is my translation.

I developed a meter to measure Co2 and particles for Covid cautious people. It is very popular in China. Now I made an English version of it.

I have to say, AirFanta 4Lite is NOT a replacement for respirator. I will never encourge anyone to take off the respirator.
Respirator is the most effective way to prevent Covid, on both aerosol and droplet. No other thing can replace respirator, including air purifer. Becasue

Someone is selling the AirFanta 4Lite on Amazon Canada too. But it has only two possiblities, fake ones or second hand ones. Because I am the only producer of it and all the necessary mold belongs to me.

Air purifier can largely reduce the aerosol infection, but can not reduce the droplet infection. So please keep 6 feet away from other people when you are dinning with AirFanta 4Lite. Or at the back side of other people.
Very nice! But I still have to remind everyone about the risk from droplet infection, which can't be prevented by air purifier. Better choose a place far from other people.
Thank you for supporting me by pre-order the 4Lite.
But I want to be honest with you that I figure out that the "L" speed was set on the wrong RPM in the first batch to Amazon, so it has larger noise than the design.
But now I can't stop Amazon from delivering the pre-orders.
Today, a tag “Covid infection is related to cognitive decline" showed up on Chinese social media, and get viewed 130 million times. I hope people are aware that Covid is not a flu and take it seriously.
I really appriciate people like Michael and so many other supporting me by promoting AirFanta to their followers. And also a big thank you to everyone who ordered AirFanta devices. The recent sales is way above my expectation.
With all these support, I can invest more on R&D to

Caught it from a family member despite trying our best avoid it.
Regular air purifier (including crbox) aims to circulating filtrate all the air in the room. The key index for the cleaning speed is CADR(Clean Air Delivery Rate), not the level of the filter. Filter level too high results in higher resistance and lower CADR. CADR already
@Engineer_Wong
Thanks for the explanation.
Then you might need bigger fans, for a next version. I love your idea of laminar flow, preferably for a distance of 1 m. I know, that might need to be a 3 times as large version.
I just bought this one, that has a HEPA-13.

For people who want to see my product work with real smoke out of burning, I did film one last year with a smaller model. To avoid risk from lighting fire, now I switched to a smoke generator.

It is very normal to have ten infected by one. All you need is to stay in a room for 1 hour without masks or air purifier. I hear this all day on Chinese social medial. But most people still blame on something like "bad luck".

Got a message from a customer. Her husband got COVID last week. She, her one and a half year old kid and her mother successfully remain negetive due to three crbox she got from me. This message encourages me. My work do help people to fight against COVID.
One modification / addition I made:
Due to how the filters align to create a seal (edge-to-side border), it is helpful to use a semi-elastic cord (in my case a single elastic shoelace) to secure the fit near the top of the filters and before putting on the actual top.
A very good thread. Commerical air purifiers focus on the marketing gimmick, such as nice looking, wifi, UV, H13 filters etc, so they claim high tech and markup the price. I don't add useless things on my product. Air purifier should be simple. And simple is the best.
To unmask and eat on plane is not that safe even there is strong ventilation system. But if the filght is really long, we don't have much choice.

The AirFanta 3Pro can work with different type of filter as long as the size is same.
For the VOCs, there are two options.
A: 16mm thick HEPA+9mm thick carbon integrated filter as the picture. It can filtrate particles and VOC at same time, but less lifespan.
B: Pure 25mm
@Engineer_Wong
@Friesein
There’s probably a good demand for a carbon pre or post filter addition if it’s possible to do so, since wildfire smoke comes with VOCs in addition to the particulate, but even just particulate filtering looks like an excellent solution

I decide to add a piece of cable management Velcro in the 3Pro package from today.
It would help the installation.
Please note that the batches that already on the way to US and Canada don't contain this.
A fast charger and cord will be in the 4Lite package. It's very annoying that different countries have its own type of charger and different certification. But finally, I managed. From top to bottom: UK, US, EU, AU.
Laminar air filtration is not a new thing. It is widely used for biosafety cabinets. What I do is to minimise the size, so it can be very portable, for personal use. A video on Youtube well explained the physic behind it.
My principle: Only sell the products that myself want to use in daily life. Check what I use at home: an outdoor air ( also based on a filter-box) , and two AirFanta 3Pro and one 4Pro. With these, the PM2.5 at my home is zero. and the Co2 is always below 600ppm.
I figured out the reason. The "sunjiajiaAC" are buying from my Taobao and it has been stopped after communication.
The "DLM life style" who is selling 4Lite right now is using the batch I disposed because of the wrong RPM and high noise.
I disposed about 300 pcs in Canda and US

I would like more companies to develop the laminar air purifier, so that one more piece of "Swiss cheese" named "laminar clean breathe bubble" is optional for people.
We've spent 4+ years telling older adults to avoid inhaling SARS by... washing their hands. No wonder many isolate at home to reduce risk.
We need to help people use testing, high-quality well-fitting masks, and air purifiers. Science-backed PPE reduces reliance on isolation.
Received my AirFanta 3Pro (Taobao via Superbuy) and am very impressed.
FINALLY, we have a *very* high performance, very fairly priced (though - shipping can be $$$), reasonably sized and highly portable / packable air purifier.
Extremely well done

Your interpretation is not correct. The air purifier works by pumping huge amount of clean air to dilute the aerosol in the room, not by sucking the air from the far distance. So air purifiers clean the whole room in certain time, not immediatly. ACH(Air Change per Hour)=CADR /

Perfect demonstration as yo why air purifiers - like masks - are woefully ineffective at preventing respiratory infections. Smoke is less than 1 meter away & already the purifier is struggling to filter the air. In a room it provides zero protection. Preying on the C19 anxious

I tried to film the laminar flow, not easy.
The front wall is disturbing the flow, but can more or less show the "clean stream" and the adjacent "dirty air".
I am manufacturing HEPA+Carbon filters. But the efficiency that carbon adsorbing VOCs is far less then HEPA filtrating particulate. CADR for VOCs is about 1/4 of CADR for particulate on the same machine. You may need more than one machine for the VOCs.
PSA that HEPA filters are great for wildfire smoke particulates but they don’t touch the formaldehyde, benzene, and other VOCs that also come along with wildfire smoke, especially aged wildfire smoke. Please get a carbon filter as well especially if you’re chemically sensitive!

Reading of particulate matter density is also important besides CO2. If you start an air purifier, it can tell you how much percentage of aerosol is filtrated.
For instance, if the reading drops from 20μg/m3 to 2μg/m3 after you start the air purifier, it means at least 90%

The pleating is very important. Narrow pleats mean more filter area in per filter, less friction and more lifetime. The filter I am using is 11 time pleated.
@VentiloAngel
There are two types of NOMA MERV-11: Wide pleats and narrow pleats. I suspect they will have similar filtration, but different pressure restriction. The red one comes in a 2-pack. The blue one is single. It would be interesting to compare the flattened filter area.

Filter can filtrate particles of all size. In fact it performs better for particles size larger or smaller than 0.3micro. 0.3micro is the MPPS (Most Penetrating Particle Size). CADR/noise/price are the key parameters you need to look at when purchasing air purifier.
