I did a little follow up research, and at least as implemented on one airliner, the AirManager system from Quest seems to overcome these limitations found in older filter-based systems. From a September press release, http://www.logisticsworld.com/news.asp?article=1169: The power requirement is negligible at only 9 milliamps.... Power is scaled up by a transformer which itself only draws 3.7 watts. If for some reason the power goes off and the unit stops functioning, the HAF filter is there as a redundancy so the cabin air will remain filtered. Thanks for the comment.

However, the filters are useless if the air conditioning is not running. Air conditioning is powered by airplane engines when a plane is in flight, but when the plane is on the ground, it takes auxiliary power to keep it going. Nice post, great service.
