Challenge

Clean air inside facilities is crucial for health, productivity, and comfort. It minimizes health risks and promotes well-being. Improved indoor air quality enhances performance and focus. It creates a pleasant environment for living, working, and leisure activities. Breathing clean air fosters a healthier atmosphere. It reduces respiratory problems and allergies. Clean indoor air is essential for a productive and enjoyable indoor experience.

Solution

The UVC Fan with integrated UVC-light is a groundbreaking system designed to address the challenges of disinfecting and distributing large air volumes in rooms while occupants are present.

According to a test report by the Danish Technological Institute Northern Light, this innovative fan has proven to be the most efficient solution for air disinfection. By utilizing UVC-light technology, the fan effectively eliminates viruses and bacteria, ensuring a safer and healthier environment. Its integrated design allows for optimal air circulation and purification, reaching all corners of the room. The fan’s ability to operate even when occupants are present sets it apart from traditional disinfection methods that require room evacuation.

This exceptional feature makes it particularly suitable for high-traffic areas such as healthcare facilities, schools, and public spaces. With its efficiency and occupant-friendly operation, the UVC fan stands as a pioneering solution in the fight against airborne pathogens, providing peace of mind to occupants and contributing to a cleaner and safer environment..

Result

The fan with integrated UVC-light achieves remarkable results by continuously removing airborne pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, from the air. The uplight design of the fan ensures the safe operation of the Northern Light® HVLS fans even with people present in the room. It operates at an impressive capacity, generating up to 18,500 m3 of disinfected air per hour. The system’s effectiveness in combating the SARS-CoV-2 virus is demonstrated by the elimination of 87.9% per passage, as modeled by the COMSOL CFD-analysis. These results have been thoroughly tested and verified by the Danish Technological Institute. In addition to its disinfection capabilities, the fan contributes to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions through effective destratification of air.
