Air cleaners and HVAC filters are designed to
filter pollutants or contaminants out of the air that passes thru them. Air
cleaning and filtration can help reduce airborne contaminants, including
particles containing viruses. Portable air cleaners (also known as air
purifiers) may be particularly helpful when additional ventilation with outdoor
air is not possible without compromising indoor comfort (temperature or
humidity), or when outdoor air pollution is high.
This outbreak has registered many technology-based
solutions to combat indoor air pollution. Air quality is monitored and improved
by capturing indoor pollutants that include CO2, formaldehyde, and volatile
organic compounds. This solution minimizes outdoor air intake, reducing energy
consumption while preventing outdoor pollutants from penetrating inside.
After WHO confirmed that the novel coronavirus is
an airborne disease the market for devices and technologies that can enable the
role of clean, disinfected air in preventing the spread. Here we have
contemporary tech devices to kill coronavirus in the air.
Here are Top 4 Central Air Cleaner that you
can consider for Homes for your family safety to combat airborne Corona
Virus
Magneto Cleantech
The cleantech start-up Magneto Cleantech has launched
Magneto Central Air Cleaner (MCAC) High Wall (HW) and Cassette Series (CS) to
sanitize indoor air for all kinds of environments including homes, offices,
restaurants, shops, clinics, salons, gyms etc. Leveraging MCAC’s legendary
‘Trap & Kill’ technology, this new cutting-edge cleantech solution
integrates with any make and capacity of split or cassette ACs to sanitize the
indoor air by removing PM 2.5, bacteria, viruses, and other airborne
microorganisms including SARS-COV-2 (family of viruses where COVID-19
belongs).
The recent launch is aligned with the reports
confirming air conditioning adds to the risk of faster transmission of
Coronavirus. This innovative technology brings the proven efficacy of Magneto
Central Air Cleaner against COVID-19 to much smaller versions of air
conditioners, thereby helping safeguard people’s health against fatal air-borne
contractions at a larger scale.
Scietech Airon
Scietech Airon, a start-up located in the
Savitribai Phule Pune University campus claims that their air purifiers can
kill disease-causing bacteria, fungi, allergens, and viruses including the
coronavirus. The Scietech Air Indoor Ion Generator claims it can help in
tackling the coronavirus-positive cases and can also ensure the wellbeing of
staff, doctors, and nurses who are working round the clock in the quarantine
facilities and also enhance their disease resistance power.
Nutan Labs
Nutan Labs is also a city-based start up incubated
by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). They have developed Nano Corona Air
Purifier Cum Steriliser which purifies indoor air by killing the Covid-19 virus
and other pollutants. Their technology is using nano-material in liquid form
for the absorption of pollutant gases and pathogens. They have claimed that the
instrument purifies, sterilizes, and recirculates clean and sterile air in a
rapid way without using much energy.
