The company claims that its Nanoclean filters can be used with any AC model that is available in India and work with almost similar efficiency as any air purifiers available in the country.[br][br]The rise in air pollution across big cities in India have fuelled the demand for air purifiers for indoor usage. However, the price of air purifiers is a major deterrent for many buyers. Also, with limited household budgets, people are mostly inclined to buy ACs given the extremely hot summer that the majority of country experiences. This IIT Delhi startup is focusing on bridging this cost versus necessity gap.[br][img src="/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Screenshots/IMG_20190620_192216.jpg"][br][br]Nasofilter Nanoclean AC filter cost, features and how it works[br][br]One pack of Nanoclean AC filter has two filters that need to be used for one AC. Priced at Rs 399, these filters are available on Amazon India’s website as well as the company’s own website. Presently, Amazon is selling a combo pack of three with 2 units each at a discounted price of Rs 899. The filter is also available in several brick and mortar stores as well pharmacy chains across the country.[br][br]The working mechanism is simple: Every AC comes with a plastic mesh air filter. The Nanoclean AC filter needs to be stuck on this plastic mesh by using a double-sided tape. The filters are claimed to cause no hindrance to the air circulation of the AC nor require extra power from the AC, which means no additional electricity bill.[br][br][br]As the AC circulates cool air in a closed room, the filter traps PM2.5 and other micro-particle pollutants. The company claims to purify 90% of the air inside the room within an hour. “When the efficiency of our Nanoclean filter is compared to that of an expensive air purifier the difference is marginal. If an air purifier takes 55 minutes to clean the air of the entire room in which a 1.5 ton AC is running, our filter will take 5 minutes more. The end result are the same but then using our filters on existing ACs will help save money, power bill and room space,” said Tushar Vyas, CRO, Nasofilters.[br][br][img src="/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Screenshots/IMG_20190620_191833.jpg"][br][br]Note that the Nanoclean AC filters are not washable. The filters automatically turn black while filtering air and depending on the pollution level, the users will have to keep a check as to when to change the filter. Note here that filter of most air purifiers available in the market too need to be changed after every three months.[br][br][br]Brand tie-ups and big export plans[br][br]Nasofilters made headlines last year when they had introduced extremely affordable nasal filters. The company has plans to launch more affordable solutions to tackle air pollution at an individual level. “We are currently exporting our air filters to around 30 countries globally and are witnessing a good demand in the middle-eastern countries,” said Jatin Kewlani, COO, Nasofilters.[br][br][br]Interestingly, traditional AC brands in the Indian market have shown interest in partnering with this startup to include the Nanoclean AC filter in their new AC range. “ We are already in talks with several big AC brands and some of them have shown interest in deploying our Nanoclean filters in their new AC lineup,” said Prateek Sharma, CEO, Nasofilters.[br][br][br]Source: https://www.m.timesofindia.com/gadgets-news/this-iit-delhi-startups-rs-399-device-can-convert-your-ac-into-an-air-purifier/amp_articleshow/69875175.cms [br][br] |
