Photocatalytic hvac airtreatment systems for mounting in air handling systems
Elimination of micro-organisms and odors for a pleasant and healthy indoor climate (Photocatalytic hvac airtreatment)
In order to provide spaces with fresh, cool or warm air, many buildings are equipped with an air treatment system, in which air is extracted from the individual spaces and, if desired, it is cooled, heated and (partially) refreshed and redistributed throughout the building. SNE CAP H- & V- Photocatalytic hvac airtreatment
These systems thus ensure a pleasant indoor climate and are barely or not perceptible to the people present in the building.
However, the conditions in these systems are often ideal for the growth of microorganisms and if a source is present in one room, it will spread throughout the property. The dark, dusty and humid conditions in the air ducts are an ideal breeding ground for the growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Filters in air handling systems are not fine enough to stop micro-organisms and will not stop odors or volatile substances, in fact; filters will start to spread unpleasant odors themselves over time.
The SNE CAP devices use UV/photocatalytic technology to eliminate micro-organisms. By using ultraviolet light in combination with photocatalyst, the micro-organisms in the air are killed and odors and volatile compounds are oxidized. By using multiple photocatalytic materials, the effectiveness against various contaminants is increased. These applied technologies (MCI) have been developed and patented by SNE itself.
