You could check with them and ask the following questions:
1: What is the CFM or M^3 per hour filtering capacity?
2: What is the size of the fan motor in kw?
3: What is the noise level of the system?
4: How are the filters cleaned for re-use?
5: In a typical home, how many times can the filter be cleaned before it 
requires replacement?
6: What is the replacement cost of the filters?

Best wishes,

Kevin
