Title:
UV-C Disinfection Systems
Value Proposition:

CSIR-CSIO has developed and engineered Induct UV-C disinfectant system for HVAC ducts which has wide applications for disinfecting mechanically ventilated indoor spaces with a view to prevent the spread of Covid-19 like viruses, fungi, mold, bacteria etc. The retrofit UV-C system is designed to fit into any existing air-ducts / AHU with very minimal modifications. The virucidal dosages using UVC intensity and residence time have been optimized according to the existing spaces after considering the necessary air flow rates, shape and size of the air duct. The virus is deactivated in any aerosol particles or freely floating virus/bacteria in air and at the surfaces of the air ducts by the calibrated levels of UVC light.

Summary Application:
  • Air-ducts of HVAC SYSTEMS
  • Applications in Auditoriums/Malls/Large HVACSystems
  • Buildings and Educational Institutions
  • Applications in AC Buses, Railways etc.
  • Circulating Air Flow Syaytems
  • For Lifts “Purelevator”, Toilets, Washrooms etc.
Advantages:
  • Ergonomic Design
  • Retrofit, Minimal Changes, Maintenance Friendly
  • Optical Modelling and Analytics for Correct Dosage
  • CFD Analysis and Implementation in Duct Design
  • Prevents Dust and Particulate Matter IP-55
  • UV-Sealing & Leak Proof
  • Approved and Valid Certifications
  • UV-C Spectrum and Intensity Test Reports (CSIR-CSIO, ICMR Designated)
  • Virucidal Dose Validation (CSIR-IMTECH Chandigarh)
  • Valid Documentation
