SARS-CoV-2 is a big concern for many building and business owners as the country begins to open up in the wake of the pandemic. There are a vast number of different air cleaning and sanitisation units now on the market. Many contain the same technologies such as HEPA filters and UV-C lighting and it can be particularly tricky for potential users and specifiers to choose one that reduces transmission risks effectively.

Euro Gas has always been to the forefront in delivering innovative technologies and solutions to meet the various challenges faced by the building services engineering sector. So, now that Covid-19 has presented system designers and consultants with the daunting task of achieving and maintaining perfect air quality within buildings, it has once again risen to the challenge.

Airfix Active houses staged filters to provide a level of sanitisation of more than 99.95pc effectiveness. The first stage is a reusable double containment coarse mesh pre-filter on the air suction side at the bottom of the unit in order to trap dirt and dust. The second stage uses an ePM1 filter with a wide filtering surface, used as clean air pre-filtration. And the third stage is a HEPA 13 filter (or HEPA 14, as an option) positioned before the fan section. The unit achieves a very low-pressure drop which is an extremely important consideration for building engineers, as it does not require compensatory airflow into the space.
