Do air conditioning units and fans offer protection against corona? You need to be aware of and take note of this.
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
During the coronavirus pandemic, dangerous untruths, recommendations and superficial knowledge spread like wildfire on social media. For example, air conditioning units are branded as “virus spinners”, while fans are advertised as offering protection against infectious aerosols in the air – regardless of whether the window is open or closed. Which of these statements is true? What do you need to know about air conditioning units and fans in connection to the coronavirus? Let us explain below.
Air purifier TAC V+ creates safe visiting zones with protection against infection in nursing homes
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The extent of the risk of infection with corona virus is currently still evident in nursing and retirement homes that are particularly in need of protection. Only a few days after the general lifting of the ban on visiting nursing homes, 31 people in a Düsseldorf nursing home are now infected with the corona virus. In another senior citizens’ home in Langerwehe (Düren district), 33 residents and 19 employees have tested positive for the virus in recent weeks. Other cities are currently testing the residents of their homes across the board, as random tests also revealed symptom-free infections in the beginning. Renewed bans on visits have been imposed, and there are now also stricter hygiene rules and protective measures for the nursing staff.
Good news for libraries: The thermal disinfector TES 200 protects against corona viruses in book stores and releases books from quarantine

Book stores and libraries are open again. After seemingly endless weeks, bookworms can finally borrow books again and stock up on new reading material. Unfortunately, visitors will often have to wait longer for new and coveted books, DVDs or other loan media, as these are “quarantined” by corona.

Virologists and dental associations are in agreement: very small infectious particles (so-called aerosols with a size of approx. 0.3 – 0.4 μm) present in indoor air are one of the main causes for the rapid spread of the coronavirus. In his recommendations for dealing with the corona pandemic in schools or comparable institutions, Prof. Dr. med. Dieter Köhler writes: “Corona viruses are mainly transmitted via respiration; coughing and sneezing are less significant as compared to bacterial infections”.

A new case of infection in Frankfurt shows how the importance of air purifiers in houses of worship and prayer. Despite the fulfilment of all requirements, a mass infection occurred after a church service. Experts are therefore increasingly demanding: only a permanent virus air purifier can protect against the inhalation of viral aerosols, which are expelled into the room, especially during loud prayer and singing, and these can remain in the air for hours. The new TAC V+ high-frequency air purifier from Trotec obviously completes insufficient hygiene concepts by providing effective protection against the risk of infection via indoor air. The air purifier quickly and effectively filters infectious aerosols from the air in the room – before they can enter the body via the respiratory tract.
Corona outbreak after a visit to a restaurant: Trotec explains why current hygiene concepts are probably inadequate – and provides novel infection protection

The importance of permanent air purifiers in restaurants is shown by the first corona outbreak shortly after many restaurants reopened. Only a permanent viral air purifier protects against the inhalation of viral aerosols, which are emitted into the room when speaking and can remain in the air for hours. The new TAC V+ high-frequency air purifier from Trotec completes insufficient hygiene measures with effective protection against the risk of infection via indoor air. The new type of air purifier filters infectious aerosols quickly and effectively from indoor air – before they are inhaled by employees or customers.

Thousands of saliva droplets in varying size are expelled into the air while talking or sneezing. Large droplets – which cough and sneeze guards, visors and mouth-nose masks are meant to protect against in times of the coronavirus. But even the smallest microparticles too, the so-called aerosols. These aerosols are now being researched intensively in the laboratories of the TU Berlin, in order to be able to better estimate the risk of infection with coronavirus. Together with doctors and virologists, the engineers at Trotec are also working on technical solutions aimed at filtering infectious aerosols out of the air in rooms. As soon as the first cases of infection were announced in Heinsberg, work commenced on a high-frequency air purifier with special HEPA filtration, in order to be able to keep, in particular, open-plan offices, restaurants or comparable extensive areas permanently free of infectious aerosols. This is because a mobile solution with sufficiently high air purification rate has so far not been available to remove viral-laden aerosols from the entire room air via the filter specially developed for this in as short a time as possible. After just 5 months development time, the new TAC V+ air purifier is now available in various versions and ready for use in numerous applications.
Corona risk: Is flying safer than dining out at a restaurant? We are convinced we have found the perfect solution to this question: Tables don’t need to remain empty!

Virologists and scientists are in agreement: Aerosols (tiny respiratory droplets) that linger in the air are one of the key reasons behind the rapid spread of coronavirus. Only about 10 per cent of coronavirus infections are transmitted via direct contact or smear infections. Half of all infections can be attributed to the inhalation of infectious aerosols that float invisibly in the air in closed rooms. This is the reason restaurants are often touted as potential hotspots, as places where large groups of people gather in a small amount of space. In order to prevent infection, a minimum distance of 2 metres needs to be maintained or tables kept empty.
