Coronavirus: TAC 3000 professional air purifier – for hygiene-sensitive areas up to 28 m² or 70 m³

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.

Coronavirus: TAC 1500 / 1500 S professional air purifiers for hygiene-sensitive areas up to 14 m² or 35 m³

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

Coronavirus: Heat, cold, humidity – how do viruses survive?

Germany’s leading virologists analyse the new threat posed by the novel corona virus SARS-CoV-2 on a daily basis. How much longer will the virus have us in its grip, which is getting tighter every day? Or will it virtually disappear of its own accord once temperatures start rising sharply? Virologist Thomas Pietschmann explains why he is counting on the cool and mostly dry winter days coming to an end soon. Because both – cold and bone dry air – are the basic prerequisite for viruses to be able to multiply rapidly.

Coronavirus: Professional air purifier TAC 750 E with HEPA H14 filter – for effective virus filtering

The most important news first: the TAC 750 E can now be equipped with the high performance filter of class H14 for effective virus filtering. This makes the extremely mobile device an effective solution for air purification in smaller rooms – and of course still for smaller renovation areas – even under the conditions of the current corona crisis. Because the lightest professional air purifier in its class, weighing only 6 kilograms, fits into any car boot and can therefore be easily transported from one air purification operation to the next.

Coronavirus: Risk of infection increases with dry office air – Tips for optimum humidity

Anyone who does not work at from home in home office and still has to go to the office, should reduce the increased risk of infection by corona viruses. It is important to know that a humidity level of just 50% significantly reduces the risk of inhaling viruses that have been coughed up. The following tips on optimum air humidity will show you how you can precisely determine the relative humidity of the air, how you can successfully protect yourself against infection and why you should keep an eye on the room temperature.

Coronavirus: Risk of infection depending on weather and humidity?

Just in time before the temperatures fall again, the German Weather Service (the DWD) explains the connection between the cold season and decreasing air humidity. Because warmer air can absorb significantly more water vapour than cold air, say DWD meteorologists, the absolute humidity in the winter months is significantly lower than in summer. However, according to scientific findings, excessively dry air is one of the main reasons why more people become infected with viruses during the hotter months.

Common mistakes when using industrial pyrometers for temperature mass pre-screening?

In times of corona crisis, you can see at airports, train stations, supermarkets, public buildings or other access points where many people get their temperature checked every day before entering. This so-called mass screening to identify people with elevated temperatures also has the potential for errors, if not used correctly or with the right infrared thermometer.

Coronavirus: Sterility of humidifiers in hospitals and offices thanks to SecoSan

The corona virus also lurks treacherously where people are waiting for help – in the waiting rooms of doctors’ surgeries and hospitals. But also in the still open offices of the authorities and in open-plan offices. Here as there, there are a reasonably large number of humidifiers that significantly reduce the risk of inhaling viruses that have been coughed up. In order to prevent the water tanks of these devices from being contaminated, a SecoSan® stick should be added to each of them. This keeps the water fresh as on the first day – and above all germ-free!
