Sanuvox Technologies introduces the first commercial / residential
ultraviolet air purifier that will treat
the entire volume of air flowing over it in one single pass.
Based on the overwhelmingly successful design of the Commercial
UV Bio-Wall, which received its U.S. Patent in March 2004,
the Bio-Wall QUATTRO can achieve a ‘kill factor' of
up to 99.9%.
In January 2002,
Sanuvox introduced the UV Bio-Wall, a commercial in-duct
UV air purifier designed to treat the entire volume of air
passing over it. In order to treat a commercial duct, the
UV Bio-Wall required a length of 40”, 50” or 60”, depending
on air volume and velocity. By installing purifiers up to 5
ft. in length, parallel to the air stream, the contaminants
in that air stream were directly exposed to destructive UV-C
/ UV-V light, which would mutate and destroy the DNA of a cell
and oxidize the chemical contaminants.
Until now, Sanuvox has
been manufacturing the R1500X, R3500X and C2000X In-Duct
Purifiers, which, although very effective, relied on the
re-circulation of the air to bring the overall level of contamination
down. This is where the QUATTRO excels; the Bio-Wall QUATTRO
can treat the entire air stream in one pass.
With the introduction
of the UV Bio-Wall QUATTRO, commercial and residential applications
can now benefit from a high intensity UV air purifier that
will destroy up to 99.9% of the biological and chemical contaminants
in the air stream in one single pass. The Quattro includes
three (3) 18” High Intensity Pure Fused Quartz UV-C Germicidal
Lamps and one (1) 18” High Intensity Pure Fused Quartz
UV-C / UV-V Lamp, which are attached to four (4) Anodized Aluminum
Parabolic Reflectors and are mounted parallel to the air stream.
Adjustable mounting brackets permit the Lamps and Reflectors
to be extended up to 15” from the duct wall so the assembly
can be positioned in the center of the ductwork, creating a
radiated wall of Germicidal energy up to 24” deep.
“Until
the advent of the UV Bio-Wall, it was almost impossible to
effectively treat the entire volume of air passing through
a commercial duct in one pass because the air was moving much
too fast, and was too far away from the UV Light to receive
an effective dose of radiation. In the past, banks of UV lamps
would have to be attached along the inside of the ductwork,
and only then, a fraction of that UV intensity would ever make
it to the moving air. When the UV Bio-Wall was released, the
applications varied form Bio-terrorism to mold control in hospitals,
to the destruction of chemical contaminants in schools. The
UV Bio-Wall provided a cost effective and 'easy to install'
method of drastically improving Indoor Air Quality and making
it an immediate favorite for contractors, engineers and facility
managers.” said Dr. Normand Brais, President of Sanuvox
Technologies Inc.
