PROTECT YOUR INDOOR space FROM THE SPREAD OF BACTERIA & VIRUSES

High population areas such as Canteens, Board Rooms and Waiting Rooms require faster cycles of air purification, to ensure a safe indoor facility with ongoing activity ensures highest level of captured air, and most amount of air changes over 20 ACH per hour (8)

Air Purified

Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) short wave 254nm light is able to inactivate foreign pathogens by damaging nucleic acid, forming pyrimidine dimmer, inhibiting DNA/RNA replication, rendering them an inactive cellular function.

Air Captured

100% of the air is captured within each cycle as hot air moves upwards to the UVC Kill Zone at ceiling height, and cool air descends, purifying the room.

Air Cycles

Most amount of cycles per hour are achieved moving air from the lower half of the room to the upper half – through law of convection and ventilation, that ensures the fastest rate of purification.

Chemically Free

There are no ozone or chemicals emitted from our Luminiares, that are silent, ensuring a peaceful and safe indoor environment where normal activities can take place below.

HOW GERMICIDAL
ULTRA VIOLET FUNCTIONS

Combination of UV-C light and the law of air convection – successfully eliminates foreign pathogens

Convection air flow dictates that hot rises and cool air descends, natural and mechanical ventilation can increase the movement of air too over 20 ACH, this key to ensure air disinfection exceeding the CDC recommendation of 9-12 ACH.

The UV-C light is germicidal; it deactivates the DNA & RNA of the microorganism by destroying its ability to reproduces. The airborne microorganism is killed instantly when coming into contact within the radius of the UV-C irradiance kill area.

TECHNILAMP* UV-C KILL ZONE

HOT air rises – COOL air descends

AIR CONVECTION: creates upwards movement of contaminated dust particles towards the UV-C KILL ZONE

STERILE AIR: moves downwards, once passed through the UV-C KILL ZONE, purified air is emitted.

 

 

 

SAFE: allows for public day to day activity below the Luminaire.

 

UVC GERMICIDAL
VERSE HEPA FILTERS

The key requirement in ensuring a purified room is the amount of air cycles per hour, HVAC systems achieve 2 to 4 cycles per hour, below the standard of 9 to 12 cycles set by the CDC

THE SCIENCE and
efficacy OF UV-C light

(1.) CDC Guidelines Upper – Room Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) Covid: Ventilation interventions can help reduce the number of infectious viral particles (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) in the air. Ventilation interventions include opening windows, using fans, adding high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) fan/filter systems, and adding upper-room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI).

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019ncov/community/ventilation/uvgi.htm

(2.) Air Disinfection for airborne infection control with a focus on Covid -19: Why Germicidal UV is essential: Edward A Nardell: Aerosol transmission is now widely accepted as the principal way that COVID-19 is spread, as has the importance of ventilation-natural and mechanical. But in other than healthcare facilities, mechanical ventilation is designed for comfort, not airborne infection control, and cannot achieve the 6 to 12 room air changes per hour recommended for airborne infection control. More efficient air filters have been recommended in ventilation ducts despite a lack of convincing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads through ventilation systems. Most transmission appears to occur in rooms where both an infectious source COVID-19 case and other susceptible occupants share the same air. Portable room air cleaners can be effective, but performance is limited by their clean air delivery rate relative to room volume. SARS-CoV-2 is highly susceptible to GUV, an 80-year-old technology that has been shown to safely, quietly, effectively and economically produce the equivalent of 10 to 20 or more air changes per hour under real life conditions. For these reasons, upper room GUV is the essential engineering intervention for reducing COVID-19 spread

(3) Institutional Tuberculosis transmission controlled trial of upper room ultraviolet air disinfection: a basis for new dosing guidelines: Edward A Nardell : Transmission is driving the global tuberculosis epidemic, especially in congregate settings. Worldwide, natural ventilation is the most common means of air disinfection, but it is inherently unreliable and of limited use in cold climates. Upper room germicidal ultraviolet (UV) air disinfection with air mixing has been shown to be highly effective, but improved evidence-based dosing guidelines are needed.

HOW DOES CONVECTION OF AIR ASSIST IN THE ELIMINATION OF FOREIGN PATHOGENS?

As determined by the law of Convection of airflow, that dictates that HOT air rises and COOL air descends, viruses attach to dust particles, and as part of the foreign pathogens move upwards, towards the kill zone.

CONVECTION OF AIR DICTATES...
that HOT air rises and COOL descends, this is enhanced by a fan or air conditioners that move pathogens upwards to the kill zone, air has a low absorption coefficient and hence allows UV-C to attack micro-organism present.

FOREIGN PATHOGENS ATTACH TO DUST...
as part of natural circulation dust particles moves with the flow of air, it is this movement of dust particles that moves the virus that is attached into the Kill zone at ceiling height where it is eliminated. this constant movement of air circulation purifies the air in a confined space.

HOW DO WE AFFECT CONVECTION OF AIR...
with more people in the room, their air density is less, we naturally emit warmth, this influence the temperature of the air around us, coming to contact with cool air, this forces the hot air upwards with the foreign pathogens included

WHY TECHNILAMP* LUMINAIRES ARE SAFE TO HUMAN SKIN AND EYES

Luminaire's are placed at ceiling height, with its patented design of reflectors and louvers beams a powerful narrow light, which is not directly exposed to human skin and eyes, below ceiling height, allowing for normal public activity to take place.

THE TECHNILAMP* PATENTED DESIGN...
emits a narrow band of UV-C light, is placed near the top of the celling and achieves two objectives, not to expose light to human contact and provide a powerful narrow beam of light that eliminates foreign airborne pathogens, across the whole ceiling ensuring flat broad coverage.

PHILIPS UV LAMPS (UV-C) - CHEMICALLY FREE...
UV-C germicidal irradiation provides a potent, cost-effective solution to upgrade protection against infection. Especially, upper-air purification has proven to be very effective. As there is no use of chemicals, this provides pure clean air that does not have harmful contaminants, such as harmful chemicals.

LUMINAIRE PLACED AT CEILING HEIGHT...
negates any possibility of UV-C light shining directly onto skin and exposure to eyes, this allows the normal day to day activity to take place in offices, gyms, schools, or any public area. While eliminating foreign pathogens 24 hours 7 days a week, without interruption, which is key to ensure purified air.

THE ELECTROMAGNETIC BAND OF 254NM UV-C LIGHT IS EFFECTIVE

Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) short wave 254nm light is able to inactivate foreign pathogens by damaging nucleic acid, forming pyrimidine dimmer, inhibiting DNA/RNA replication, rendering them an inactive cellular function.

IMMEDIATE EXPOSURE TO UV-C light 254nm...
damages the DNA and RNA cells, so that they can't replicate, effectively killing or inactivating a microorganism or virus. The energy to excite doubly bonded molecules into a permanent chemical rearrangement, causing lasting damage to DNA and RNA, ultimately killing the cell, upper-air purification has proven to be very effective to supplement existing controls for TBC and other airborne diseases.

UV-C LIGHT 99.9% PROVEN TO...
eliminate all foreign pathogens, Moulds, Bacteria and Viruses, substantial data has been gained in showing the effectiveness of UV-C light, which provides a safe air purified facility, UV germicidal irradiation provides a potent, cost-effective solution against contaminated air. These droplet nuclei can be inhaled, spreading infections. It is estimated that up to 99% of airborne pathogens are destroyed.

WITHIN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM...
far-UVC light 254 nm has been shown to be as efficient and it the most commonly employed type of UV-C light for germicidal application, which is a low-pressure mercury-vapor arc lamp, emitting around 254 nm; Many disease-causing organisms circulate on air currents in "droplet nuclei", 1 to 5 micron in size, that are expelled with a cough, sneeze or even with speech.
