Introducing Trane CleanEffects™ , a patented whole-house air filtration system from the recognized industry leader. Designed from the ground up to clean the air like nothing before, CleanEffects makes the air in your home feel cleaner and fresher than you thought possible.
There are several ways to measure the effectiveness of an air filtration system. The two you’ll most likely see are MERV, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, and CADR, or Clean Air Delivery Rate. MERV is designed for systems with media-based filters, and involves loading the filter with varying size micron particles until the percent of efficiency fails to meet minimum air filtration standards. This method only measures one aspect of air filtration‚ particle capture efficiency. Since Trane CleanEffects™ operates with incredible airflow efficiency even under a heavy particle load, it simply cannot be evaluated with the MERV method.
Instead, Trane uses CADR, which measures not only the efficiency with which particles are removed from filtered air, but also the rate at which clean air is delivered to your living space. This is a more accurate representation of an air cleaner’s performance because it measures the end benefit to you. In 2016 AAFA test results showed that CleanEffects™ measured actual removal rates, of particulates, allergens, and viruses from the air in real world conditions similar to your home environment. This is the first whole home filtration system to meet the standards established by AAFA and ASL.
