HK-Engineering, through its vast knowledge and experience of Air flow and Ventilation systems, looking for an Engineering solution for the hospitality industry, coupled with continuous study of the SARS-CoV-2 scientific papers, realised since March 2020 the association of virus spread through Airborne transmission, and the importance of controlling and disinfecting the airflow in the fight against COVID-19.
We conferred with fellow Engineers, Medical experts, Universities, institutions, and Equipment manufacturers collecting data and relating them to Engineering systems for control and disinfection of air.
HK-Engineering progressed with the invention of a Local, Booth seating system for Restaurants and Offices.
The result of our work was the accumulation and verification of more than 15 Proactive Engineering systems that can be used to control and stop the transmission of the COVID-19 virus (and almost all other airborne viruses).
Virus control systems can be organised in the following categories:
Systems that inactivate the virus, by rendering it unable to reproduce, using UVGI (Ultra Violet Germicidal Irradiation).
These can be categorised as:
1.1. Dynamic:
1.1.1 UPPER level
1.1.2 In-Line Ducted
1.1.3 MID level
1.1.4 Floor level
1.1.5 Spot - BOOTH seating
1.1.6 Mobile ROBOTS
1.2 Passive:
1.2.1 UVC Lamps
Refers to systems that can destroy the virus cell
These can be categorised as:
2.1 Dynamic:
2.1.1 Hydron Peroxide
2.1.2 Bipolar Ionisation
2.2 Passive:
2.2.1 Chemicals
Refers to systems that can Control the spread of the viruses, by removing it from the air. Control systems do not “kill” the virus, they reduce its presence and remove it from the air.
Virus Control systems categories:
3.1. Ventilation
3.2. Metal Organic
3.3. Humidity
Refers to systems whose operation should be controlled in order to prevent the spread of viruses.
Virus Spread Prevention Systems categories:
4.1. Air Circulation
4.2. Heat Recovery
4.3. Hand-Dryers
Not all Virus (COVID) control and inactivation systems are applicable or necessary to all types of Business.
HK-Engineering would be happy to offer its consultation services in designing and choosing the most appropriate, Fit for Purpose, system for any business interested in protecting its personnel and its customers from COVID-19 and other airborne viruses.
