With the growing number of corona patients, the need for mobile isolation wards and hygienically optimal treatment areas in hospitals and emergency facilities is increasing

The increasing number of corona patients worldwide and the equally sharp rise in the number of suspected cases is forcing hospitals every day to expand the capacity of their own corona isolation wards and ventilation capacities at full speed. As far as space and personnel permit, hospitals are therefore separating entire building sections for the isolated treatment of corona patients, although here too it is foreseeable that this number of beds will sooner or later be insufficient if the rate of infection continues to increase.

Corona virus: germ-free room air in supermarkets and pharmacies – thanks to TAC air purifiers with H14 virus filtering

Supermarkets and pharmacies are among the few facilities still open in the new Corona era. Because the risks of infection literally coincide at these places – and are also constantly increasing with the growing number of infected people – special precautions should be taken there to protect employees and customers. Studies have shown that SARS CoV-2 viruses that have been coughing up can remain in the air for up to 3 hours. Find out more on our homepage under ‘Applications’ about the effective solution for air purification in your supermarket and pharmacy: the TAC air purifiers with H14 virus filtering!

Corona virus: sterile indoor air in fitness studios and therapy rooms – thanks to TAC air purifiers with H14 virus filtering

The managers of fitness studios know about the odour-intensive vapours of the sweating body just as well as physiotherapists. Sometimes even taking a breath becomes a difficult exercise. All the more reason to avoid polluting the air in these rooms with suspended particles such as dust, nitrogen oxides and formaldehydes. Above all, however, with pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Studies have shown that coughing up SARS-CoV-2 viruses remain in the air for up to 3 hours.

Trotec privacy screens protect a person’s individual privacy when accommodating and taking care of corona patients in field hospitals, hospitals and emergency centres

All over the world, hospitals and clinics are preparing for an increasing number of patients who are infected with the novel coronavirus and require inpatient treatment and intensive care. Entire building tracts are thus cleared, for example, and designated as covid isolation stations with separate admission areas in order to separate the flows of patients coming in. However, many hospitals are already working at maximum capacity now so that gymnasiums, underground car parks, event locations, barracks and sometimes even entire sport stadiums are summarily converted into field hospitals.

Ventilation systems in buildings make sufficient humidification difficult

Many lives could be saved each year by reducing infection with the flu virus or with the new corona virus, SARS-CoV-2. For example, hospitals, public utilities and even the facilities management of large office blocks could maintain a room air humidity in the scientifically recommended range of 40 to 60%. In modern building complexes, you can usually not even open the windows to let fresh and therefore humid air in.

Coronavirus: Humidifiers now important in summer too!

Can spring and warm summer temperatures stop the virus’ spread? Meteorological experts are predicting new record heat for summer 2020. This is based on the numbers coming from the British “Met Office” weather service.  Accordingly, extreme heat is to dominate the year. Forecasts say that constant temperatures over 40 degrees are expected across Europe in summer. This forecast should have drops of sweat running down the faces of many by now.  A new drought would pose a serious problem for the agricultural and forestry sectors. But does the heat have an advantage in the fight against the coronavirus (Covid-19)?

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.
