Yale University proves: insufficient humidity increases viral infection
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Not only the coronavirus but influenza viruses cause serious respiratory diseases as well – and result in at least half a million deaths worldwide annually. A new study by America’s Yale University proves a connection between low humidity and the spread of influenza viruses. The study conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health substantiates a cause-effect relationship between humidity and the infectivity of coughed-up viruses – and everything seems to suggest that the same applies to the coronavirus as well.
Treatment and shielding tent in makeshift hospitals as well as mobile test stations for suspected corona cases, for patient care and to relieve doctors, authorities and hospitals
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
In the fight against the spread of the coronavirus SARS CoV-2, communities and authorities worldwide are faced with the challenge of testing the daily increasing number of suspected cases, reducing the still high risk of infection within the community and effectively breaking the infection chains. This mammoth task is made more difficult by the fact that hospitals and doctors’ surgeries in many places are working to capacity – and the necessary structures and materials for mobile corona test stations and makeshift hospitals are simply not available. Even the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) and the German Armed Forces refuse requests for support because, for example, German Armed Forces hospitals are also preparing for the increase in patient care.

NEW TDP DSP Electronic pressure switch – comfortable pump control thanks to integrated mains plug
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Of course you can walk to your garden or deep-well pump and turn it on by hand. And back again to turn it off. And then back again. And back again. Or you can replace this life-sapping back and forth with the convenient automatic pump control using the TDP DSP electronic pressure switch. The practical plug & play solution that controls the water delivery of garden pumps, deep well pumps, centrifugal pumps and water pumps virtually independently. And particularly convenient thanks to the integrated mains plug.
NEW TDP DS Electronic pressure switch – Automatic control of pumps without their own plug
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The Problem: Often, deep well pumps, garden pumps, centrifugal pumps or water pumps do not have their own power plug – and therefore do not have the possibility to control water delivery automatically. The solution: Trotec’s electronic pressure switch TDP DS offers a technical alternative that is as reliable as it is sophisticated. The pressure switch is simply installed between the pump and the connected consumer – and the pumping process runs automatically without the need for manual switching on and off.
Coronavirus: TAC 3000 professional air purifier – for hygiene-sensitive areas up to 28 m² or 70 m³
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The TAC 3000 professional air purifier enables such a variable range of applications as no other air purifier on the market can offer at present: From virus filtering in hygiene-sensitive areas to clean room environments. And of course at ‘standard construction sites’ for asbestos abatements, for example – and all that with just one device! This application range is made possible by the use of the HEPA filter class H14 and by the unique Vario-shift function, thanks to which the filter chain can be flexibly configured with either terminal fan or HEPA filter.

Air purity: This is what the TAC 1500 / 1500 S ensure for virus filtering in all hygiene-sensitive areas and even in cleanroom environments. The devices can be equipped with class 14 high-performance filters. Moreover, the TAC 1500 enables an extremely variable range of applications thanks to the unique Vario-shift function. With this function, the positions of the ventilator and HEPA unit can be changed easily so that you can align the filter chains in the required sequence at any time for cleanroom to standard applications.
Is it possible to measure fever with industrial pyrometers (infrared thermometers)?

Industrial pyrometers are not approved for human diagnostic purposes, but in many cases they are suitable for practical pre-screening, e.g. in the case of epidemic disease distributions such as those currently prevalent in many countries owing to COVID-19
