KUALA LUMPUR, Dec. 29 -- Carrier’s OptiClean™ Dual-Mode Air Scrubber & Negative Air Machine has been named as one of TIME’s 100 Best Inventions of 2020.
Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, a leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions.
According to a statement, the OptiClean was developed through rapid innovation early this year to help support infectious isolation rooms in hospitals.
TIME featured OptiClean in the Medical Care category of its prestigious annual list that recognises 100 ground-breaking inventions that are making the world better and smarter.
“We are honoured the OptiClean is being recognised by TIME for a product we developed and brought to market in record time while maintaining strict standards to ensure the highest quality,” said Carrier Senior Vice President, Engineering, Chris Kmetz.
At the onset of the pandemic, Carrier invented the OptiClean as a negative air machine for hospitals treating COVID-19 patients to help hospitals protect caregivers, workers and patients.
OptiClean can improve the indoor air quality including classrooms, restaurants, dental offices and commercial buildings, by pulling in air, scrubbing it using a HEPA filter, and then exhausting cleaner air back into the room, reducing contaminants in the air and offering further protection.
OptiClean is one of the solutions offered through Carrier's Healthy Buildings Program, an expanded suite of advanced solutions to help deliver healthier, safer, more efficient and productive indoor environments, and is expected to be available in Singapore market in early January.
