Coronavirus: Render viruses harmless with the optimum air humidity
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Cold and dry air are ideal conditions for many viruses. The warmer it gets, the more difficult it is for the corona virus to survive – because it is surrounded by a lipid layer. A fat layer that is not particularly heat-resistant, giving rise to justified hopes that the virus does not tolerate rising summer temperatures well. But we know exactly what viruses that cause respiratory diseases, like corona, are responsible for the immediate knock-out: A humidity of 50 % is deadly for these viruses and for bacteria!
Coronavirus: Professional ozone applications can effectively decontaminate surfaces
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The new coronavirus poses many unresolved questions to medical science. Thus, how long the coronavirus remains infectious on surfaces is still unknown. In the case of the similar SARS virus from 2002/2003, it was possible to determine its contagiousness even after about 96 hours. But something else is quite similar: At that time, ozone gas was effectively used against the SARS viruses! And most likely the surfaces infected with today’s SARS-CoV-2 virus can be effectively disinfected with ozone as well.
Coronavirus: Thermal imaging cameras with IR screening alarm quickly and reliably detect elevated body temperatures in crowds

The Corona pandemic is rolling worldwide! Now it is important to quickly and reliably identify people infected with corona viruses. For their own protection and to be able to interrupt the stream of infections. An elevated body temperature is one of the first and most important indicators of corona infection. Thermal imaging cameras such as the XC300 and the XC600 from Trotec with acoustic IR screening alarm immediately detect individual persons – even in large crowds – with elevated skin temperature at lightning speed thanks to their non-contact measuring method.
When viruses are exposed to ozone they are completely destroyed by the extra oxygen atom

Ozone is a triatomic form of oxygen that humans breathe in diatomic form. Ozone is the second most powerful disinfectant in the world, and it is used to destroy bacteria, viruses and odours. The great advantage of ozone as a gas compared to other disinfectants is that it can spread everywhere, even in inaccessible areas, uniformly and within minutes.
Heating solutions for commercial use: Calculating the required heat output
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
What kind of heat output do you need for your rooms? You can determine that simply and conveniently with the help of out heat output calculator. And the best thing is: only very little information is required – such as specifying the room volume, the expected temperature difference and how well the room or building is insulated. In order for you to be able to retrace the calculation yourself, all the relevant aspects on calculating heat output are listed below.
Corona Virus: Air humidification reduces the propagation risk by 50 % – in hospitals and at home
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Medical specialists know how we can reduce the propagation risk of coronavirus until a vaccine is made available. This is because the new coronavirus is closely related to the familiar SARS virus, which is why laboratories were also quickly able to develop tests for its detection. Just as helpful are the research results on the resistance of SARS viruses to air humidity and temperature. These show us the transmission pattern of these dangerous virus strains – and what we can do about it.
Heating solutions for commercial use: Accessories for heaters outside the home
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Often oil heaters with over 100 kW output are placed outdoors in front of the building to be heated because of their size. But whether you are ventilating, heating, drying, air conditioning or suctioning – every unit is always only as efficient as the weakest member of the chain of the components used. Therefore, even when you are selecting accessories, such as air routing systems and storage containers for example, you should accept no compromises, but instead also place your trust in the tried and tested brand quality from Trotec.
Heating solutions for commercial use: HEATBOX – enjoy energy savings of up to 70%!
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Electric heaters are a good choice for heating marquees, trade fair pavilions or temporary accommodations, as they work noiselessly and without generating combustion exhaust gases. But the fresh air permanently supplied from outside, which is absolutely necessary for a comfortable indoor climate, is cold and must be heated up. That consumes a lot of energy – and, depending on the electricity rate, makes heating undesirably expensive. With the HEATBOX from Trotec you save up to 70% of the energy used. And it does it without magic, but thanks to applied physics.
