UV ducts system are installed in the existing AC ducts to disinfect the air. UV-C Light source emits light bearing high energy photons that kill virus, bacteria etc. UV-C Air Duct Disinfection System -V1.06 is designed as a retrofit into existing air ducts. It consists a slide mechanism, regulated UV light source, and sensors. The device can be fit into ducts with minor modifications.
Scientists at CSIO Chandigarh, have invented UV ducts that can kill the virus in the air along with air sampling and viral load testing techniques, that can check the viral load in the air. The air sampler can check viral load in the air. After knowing the presence of virus, the viral load testing equipment will tell the energy required to kill the virus.
The scientists communicated, the UV ducts system can be used in shopping malls, movie halls and other public places where the system is centrally air conditioned. Virus and bacteria can be killed by applying controlled UVC light.
It is used for sampling air from large volume of space like hospitals, markets, schools, bus stands, railway stations, where there is possibility of virus and bacterial infection. It may be used for sampling polluted air from high traffic zones in large cities, industries and air ducts also. The system is calibrated to flow air at specific rates through specially designed filter. Variable flow control makes the device more versatile in design and robust for various applications.
