MICROUVAIR Wall-Mounted Air Purifier

MICROUVAIR is a closed-loop forced-ventilation air sanitizing system based on UVC LEDs.

SKU 7300-MICROUVAIR-PEAN 8219671116831Item type: Assembled

Description

MICROUVAIR is a closed-loop forced-ventilation air sanitizing system based on UVC LEDs.
The incoming air is purified through a high-density mechanical filter (30 PPI), then sterilized by ultraviolet light emitted by UVC LEDs capable of maximum germicidal action. The sanitized air is then further filtered by a high-density mechanical filter and returned to the room
.
  • An air sterilization system that ensures the elimination of viruses and bacteria.
  • It can disinfect air in rooms of up to 60 m3.
  • Reduces the risk of contamination for people inside offices.
  • Makes rooms bacteriologically safe, eliminating spores as well.
  • Cuts airborne bacterial load by 99% after about one hour of operation.
  • Can run continuously even when people are present.

Now more than ever, we are realizing the absolute need to live in healthy environments free of viruses and bacteria. We have learned that simply wearing masks can reduce contagion, but prolonged use is certainly uncomfortable. For this reason, the solution is to sanitize the air we breathe by eliminating viruses and bacteria through the use of ultraviolet light.
MICROUVAIR technology lets you work comfortably in your office while breathing clean air.
It can be used continuously, even in the presence of people, ensuring healthy air.

THE ACTION OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
UV-C has long been known for its disinfecting action against pathogens (it is no coincidence that a joint study by the University of Milan, the Institute of Astrophysics and the National Cancer Institute was recently published on the correlation between sun exposure – and therefore UV exposure – and the spread of COVID-19 contagion), and has been widely used for over 40 years to disinfect drinking water, wastewater, air, pharmaceutical products, surgical instruments (and dental tools) and surfaces from a wide range of human pathogens.
All the bacteria and viruses tested (many hundreds over the years, including recent viruses) respond to UV-C disinfection (in fact, UV-B as well), meaning that they are inactivated by exposure to such radiation. Some organisms have proven more sensitive to UV-C disinfection than others, but all tests carried out so far respond to the appropriate doses.

According to the International Ultraviolet Association (https://iuva.org), the ultraviolet spectrum corresponding to sterilization capability is around 200-300nm and therefore very narrow; to be precise, the germicidal range extends between 280 nm and 300 nm. Theoretically, the wavelength of 265
nm is considered optimal because it corresponds to the peak of the DNA/RNA absorption curve: most peaks for viruses and bacteria are around 265 nm. This explains why it is possible to use a single wavelength to eliminate all bacteria, even though each family has different optimal absorption wavelengths. Generally, power intensity, wavelength and irradiation duration are used to determine the germicidal effect. For example, in water there may be multiple bacteria with different optimal absorption wavelengths. For any given germicidal UV wavelength, the power and irradiation time must be calculated to achieve the desired level of disinfection.
