GLOBAL PLASMA SOLUTIONS

Voomi Supply carries Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) bipolar ionization products, in duct mount generators, modular ionization strips, auto-cleaning units, air purifiers, filter enhancement systems and power supplies across the FC, IMOD, IRIB, DM and CI series. GPS needlepoint bipolar ionization (NPBI) devices install in an air handler or duct and release positive and negative ions into the airstream to treat particles, odors and pathogens, according to the manufacturer. Every order ships with Voomi's 30-day return policy and free help matching a unit to your system.

What Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization Is

GPS describes needlepoint bipolar ionization as a method that produces ions in the air handler, which then travel through the ducts and into occupied rooms. The company says it is not a corona discharge technology and does not produce ozone. These are manufacturer statements, so the table below separates what GPS states from what independent guidance recommends you check.

Topic

What is stated

Source basis

Ozone

GPS states that NPBI does not produce ozone and that its technology is UL validated as zero emission measured ozone

GPS statements, 2019 trade press release

Ozone risk across the category

Bipolar ionization is listed among electronic technologies that can produce ozone, usually at a much lower rate than ozone generators. Uncertified units may still emit ozone.

New Jersey Department of Health guidance on air cleaning devices

UL 2998

For bipolar ionization units, check for UL 2998, which validates a device for zero ozone emissions

New Jersey Department of Health guidance

Performance data

Air cleaning technologies should be accompanied by performance data from industry test standards or independent third party evaluation

ASHRAE position, as cited by the New Jersey Department of Health

Ventilation and filtration

Increasing fresh outdoor air is a key step, and mechanical filters such as pleated or HEPA types do not generate ozone or ions

New Jersey Department of Health guidance

Ask for the product certificate and test report for the exact model you plan to install.

How to Choose a GPS Unit

Check

What to compare

Mounting

Duct mount, in the air handler or modular strips (DM, FC, IMOD and IRIB families are named by mounting style in the listings)

Airflow rating

The CFM the unit is rated for, such as the 2400 CFM listed for the GPS-CI2-2, against your air handler airflow

Supply voltage

AC models and purifiers list their own ratings, for example 208 to 277 VAC on the GPS1200-2, so match the power available

Self-cleaning

Auto-cleaning and self-cleaning models are marked in the title. Others follow the maintenance schedule in the manual.

Accessories

Power supply transformer, ion distribution fan or filter enhancement kit if the system calls for them

Certification

UL 2998 documentation for the model, and a filter rating suited to the building

Frequently Asked Questions

It generates positive and negative ions and releases them into the air stream of an HVAC system. GPS says the ions act on airborne particles, odors and pathogens. Ionization is meant to supplement filtration and ventilation, not replace them. See our ionizers.

GPS states that its needlepoint bipolar ionization does not produce ozone and that it is UL validated for zero emission measured ozone. Independent health guidance notes that bipolar ionization as a category can emit ozone and recommends choosing units certified to UL 2998. Request the certificate for the model you choose.

No. Mechanical filters remain the baseline and, unlike electronic air cleaners, do not generate ozone or ions. Health guidance also puts fresh air ventilation first. Pair your ionizer with a suitable filter. See residential air filters.

The series differ mainly by mounting style, airflow rating, supply voltage and whether the unit is auto-cleaning. Start with your air handler size and airflow, check the voltage, then compare the listing titles. Send us your air handler model and we will help match a unit.

Manufacturers cite their own testing, but ASHRAE says air cleaning technologies should come with performance data from established test standards or independent evaluation. Ask for third party results for the specific model and treat ionization as one layer in a wider plan that includes filtration and ventilation.
