The HVAC system may include a duct system, an evaporator positioned in the duct system between a first air inlet and an air outlet for exchanging heat with air present in the duct system before it reaches the air outlet; a reservoir containing water; a heating element for heating the water contained in the reservoir and generating steam; and a steam introduction duct that connects the reservoir to the duct system at a location upstream from the evaporator, wherein the steam generated by the heating element sanitizes the air in the duct system before it reaches the air outlet, and the evaporator is configured to condense the steam in the duct system into droplets of water that entrap particulate matter present in the air in the duct system, and drain from the duct system back into the reservoir.",
