According to leading virologists, there will be more stays in closed rooms during the coming “colder season”.
Since there is a lot of ventilation required, windows have to be opened for a long time in order to “clean” the “used and contaminated air”.
But this is not necessary when using our UV-FAN devices, as they clean the room air with special filters and UV-C light.
Simple assembly, since no air inlets are required to and from the outside, plug the plug into a socket and that's it.

"We know that UV-C light works against viruses!"
Can you kill viruses in the air?
Yes, you can - with special UV-C - light, as American scientists have now proven. Accordingly, UV-C radiation is germicidal.
It is harmless to humans, but fatal to viruses: UV-C light (100 to 280 nanometers). Columbia University researchers conducted an experiment with the light rays. You have irradiated H1N1 viruses with UV-C light in a test chamber. They were able to find out that UV-C - light destroys the molecular bonds of the viruses - and thus kills them.
UV-C - light kills viruses
"Radiation is not a health hazard for humans. However, since viruses and bacteria are much smaller than human cells, Fernes UV (a form of UV-C light, editor's note) can penetrate to its genome and kill it explains radiologist Da-vid J. Brenner, who was involved in the US study.
In contrast to UV-A and UV-B radiation, UV-C does not penetrate as deeply under a person's skin. Nevertheless, the European Union (EU) introduced a limit value for UV-C radiation in 2006. It is currently at a daily radiation dose of 60 joules per square meter [at 253.7 (nm) nanometers of light].
UV-C - light harmless to humans
If the results of the study are confirmed by other scientists, it could revolutionize the fight against viruses. So it would be e.g. It is possible to illuminate rooms with UV-C light - such as schools, hospitals, offices, doctor's offices or air-ports - and thus kill any viruses from the air.
The best thing about it: In contrast to vaccinations, which are specifically designed for certain types of virus, UV-C light can fight all viruses at once. In addition to corona viruses, flu and herpes viruses, hepatitis, chickenpox, yellow fever, measles, mumps, polio and Co.! In addition, UV-C light can also fight bacteria, germs, fungi and algae.
Disinfectants were sold out for weeks, worse, they were stolen from doctors' offices and clinics. But there is still another way to disinfect everything: with UV light, more precisely with UV-C light.
The sale of UV-C lamps has skyrocketed since the beginning of the Corona crisis. A South Korean company reports that the demand for its UV-C LEDs has increased five-fold. According to the company, their lamps kill 90 percent of the corona viruses after one minute of radiation.
The UV-C light seems to be a miracle tool: It frees you from viruses, bacteria and even mold. China has been using it to disinfect banknotes since the outbreak of the Corona crisis and has UV-C robots run in hospitals, and in Moscow, underground trains are sterilized.
We spoke to Benno Bucher from the Rapperswil Technical University in Switzerland about the limits and possibilities of UV-C light. The professor of physics oversees the Institute of Energy Technology, has already worked for IBM in the fields of optics, materials science, magnetism and semiconductors and has dealt with UV-C LEDs.

WORLD:
Does UV-C light help against the corona virus?
Benno Bucher:
Yes, initial investigations clearly indicate this. We know that it works against viruses. It destroys both DNA and RNA (ribonucleic acid - the carrier of genetic information in the case of coronaviruses.
WORLD:
But that only applies to very specific UV light, the so-called UV-C light.
Bucher:
Yes, that is the range between 100 and 280 nanometers. UV-C is the particularly high-energy, ultraviolet radiation component. Although this is also generated by the sun, most of it is absorbed by the atmosphere. The effect on viruses results in an increasing curve shape, the peak of which is in the range of around 253.7 (nm)
nanometers. The effect is best at this wavelength.

WORLD:
The effect that the RNA is destroy? Bucher:
RNA, DNA and proteins are destroyed. This prevents replication and deactivates microorganisms and viruses

WELT:
So UV-C light is a good way of disinfection?
Bucher:
Yes, of course disinfection works very well with it. Food is disinfected with mercury vapor lamps with 253.7 (nm)
nanometers. The light is also used in water treatment. The effect has been known for 100 years. In the past, however, it was produced using mercury lamps. They have the disadvantage that if the lamp is destroyed, the toxic metal is released. Nowadays, UV-C light can also be generated with LEDs, for about five years now, that's better, it can be used to reach 265 (nm)
nanometers, and they have the great advantage that they can be easily switched on and off. Mercury vapor lamps, on the other hand, take a certain amount of time to be ready.
WORLD:
With all advantages, but the light can also be dangerous? There are reports from China that since the corona crisis, more and more patients have come to the emergency room, who have pain in the eyes and a burning sensation on the face. It is suspected that this was caused by UV-C lamps.
Bucher:
UV-C radiation is very strong radiation, stronger than UV-A and UV-B radiation, which you may know from the sun where you are get a sunburn. UV-C radiation can do worse than sunburn, causing much more severe burns. It is very strong radiation. It is difficult to use them at home because the radiation is invisible to the eye. There is also a great risk for the eyes, because here the penetration depth of the radiation is increased, you have to wear safety glasses.
WORLD:
Nevertheless, these lamps are sold at Amazon. What does dangerous mean, when do injuries or burns occur, are we talking about hours or seconds?
Bucher:
So if you take a lamp with strong radiation, the permitted dose is reached within a few seconds. It depends on how big the intensity is. Currently, the number of accidents with UV-C radiation is still relatively low, but the effects you described have already been determined.
WORLD:
There are ideas for installing such a lamp in hospital rooms so that these rooms could be disinfected quickly. An autonomous robot developed by a Danish company is already in use in Chinese hospitals, driving through the building alone and disinfecting rooms. No longer every surface - every tap, every window sill, every handle - has to be wiped off. What do you make of it?
The mobile disinfection device MDG16-1
in use since 2016
The MDG16-1
can be connected to any "normal" 230-240 volt socket.
Because it is mobile, it can be easily moved to any desired room. Our device has 8 UV-C tubes with 253.7 nm
40 watts each (360 watts total power).
The UV-C tubes are protected by a quartz tube.
The height of the MDG16-1
is adjustable from 0.40 m to 2.10 m from below.
The height is increased by another meter by using an additional aluminum tube
The MDG16-1
is switched on and off with a radio remote control and built-in time relay.
