California’s San Bernardino City Unified School District will install 3,700 Carrier OptiClean Dual-Mode Air Scrubber & Negative Air Machines to purify the air in classrooms across its 72 schools.

The OptiClean units will help to improve indoor air quality for the district, as its more than 60,000 students, teachers and staff return to campuses.

This announcement comes on the heels of the recent acquisition of 1,500 OptiClean air purification units by the Alvord Unified School District in Riverside, California, to assist with their plan for the return of 20,000 students, teachers and staff to their 23 campuses.

“Many schools and school districts are currently in the process of assessing what steps can be taken to safely welcome back students, teachers and staff,” said Justin Keppy, President, NA Residential & Light Commercial, Carrier.

“We’re happy to be working with the San Bernardino City Unified School District by providing one part of the solution to help enhance indoor air quality. Our OptiClean units can help reduce contaminants in classroom air, and, when coupled with mitigation best practices such as frequent hand washing, social distancing, use of face coverings and more, may help reduce risks to students, teachers and school staff.”

The Carrier OptiClean units provide a number of features and benefits that offer schools a flexible, effective product for their facilities:

Units are available in 600 and 1500 cfm models to accommodate rooms of various sizes. One 600-cfm unit can adequately clean the air in a typical classroom; the 1500-cfm unit is designed for larger spaces.

In both cases, multiple units can be used for more expansive spaces.

  • OptiClean units use a 99.97% efficient, long-life HEPA filter to remove contaminants as small as 0.3 microns and discharge cleaner air back into the room.
  • OptiClean units exceed the minimum standard of two air changes per hour for portable electric HEPA machines recommended by ASHRAE in school reopenings (when properly specified).
  • Each unit requires only about three-square feet of floor space when oriented vertically and can also be operated horizontally, allowing for convenient, unobstructed placement in classrooms, cafeterias, libraries or gymnasiums.

The San Bernardino City Unified School District serves approximately 48,000 students and is the ninth-largest school district in California. The District is comprised of 50 elementary, 11 middle, eight high schools, and one adult school.

The air purification units are portable and plug into a standard wall outlet.
