Relation between airborne spread contagions and indoor disinfection
For airborne pathogens like the COVID-19 virus and influenza, the best methods of reducing the spread of infection among occupants of indoor spaces are dilution of contaminated air with clean air and removal/inactivation of aerosolized pathogens in the air with filtration technologies like UVC light.
Upper air disinfection with UVC light at an appropriate height can offer the equivalency of 10 to 20 full air change cycles per hour.
A Purgolux Upper Air unit mounted at height of 2.4m above the floor in a room with a 3m high ceiling will be able to treat 20% of the rooms air volume at any given moment. Due to slight temperature variations between the cold air near the floor and the warm air near the ceiling a room will naturally cycle air up and down throughout the day. As this occurs the air passing in front of the Purgolux Upper Air unit is disinfected with UVC light. As that air cools and eventually drops back down into the occupied spaces of the room, contaminated air from the floor rises to the upper portion of the room to which that is then disinfected. This natural air flow occurs in all rooms regardless of heating/cooling method (radiator, HVAC etc.)
