Carrier launches air filter machine for schools and other settings to keep air clear of coronavirusCarrier is launching an air filter machine to be used in institutional settings such as school classrooms, libraries and gyms, to help keep the air clear of contaminants like the coronavirus. The heating, ventilating and air conditioning company, part of Carrier Global Corp. after it was spun off the former United Technologies Corp. in May, said the new unit, called the OptiClean 1500-cfm Dual-Mode Air Scrubber & Negative Air Machine, joins an existing OptiClean 500-cfm unit, which was launched in April for use in hospitals. The machine can be plugged into a standard wall outlet and uses a long-life HEPA filter to improve indoor air quality. Chris Nelson, head of Carrier's HVAC business, said the company is expecting the machine to help schools keep students and teachers safe as they prepare to reopen in the fall. The units are portable and take up just three square feet of floor space. Carrier shares were slightly lower premarket, but have gained 62% in the last three months, while the S&P 500 has gained 13%.
