Spot (Booth) - Filtration & UVG Irradiation of Air

The following mechanical system has been Conceived and Designed by HK-Engineering.

The following articles are the authors intellectual property.

Refers to the treatment (filtration & irradiation) of on the Spot, breathed air, per person / per seat.

Why? The virus is airborne by attachment.

Dynamic conditioning of recirculated air, breathed by each seated person by Filtrating and Irradiating will:

a. Remove a huge portion of the airborne droplets, directing them away from others, preventing it from spreading across the table or to the surrounding area, and retaining them on the filters of the system.

b. Inactivate the viruses by altering their RNA so that they are no longer able to multiply.

How? Filtered & irradiated air is pushed towards the seated customer, carrying with it any droplets produced by them and drawn towards the back of the seated person into a treatment system, which by filtration and irradiation will return it back to the front of the customer, continuously repeating the cycle.

The filtering unit is composed of a series of filters, including a HEPA filter able to stop molecules down to a 1 micron, and a set of UVGI lamps, which inactivate the viruses on any molecules that were not stopes by the filters.

The system deals with the air volume breathed by each person, thus the air volume to be treated is small and thus the size and cost of the equipment will be small.

Action? Install Spot systems, depending on furniture shape, arrangement, and manufacturer’s instructions.

Advantages:

• Able to provide Client Level, Client specific, nearly 100% breathed air Disinfection.

• Protects booth occupants from contamination

• Provides almost perfect Visual acceptance.

• Modular deployment and Modular disassembly.

• No need for storage when not in use.

• Ease of maintenance and small maintenance cost.

• Can be used on demand.

• Can be sold as Addon (extra) service.

• Low energy use, client volume specific.

• After initial installation, does not interfere with the business flow when deployment is required in the future.

• Does not require high level ceilings.

• Airflow unobstructed by furniture.

• Does not take Floor space.

• Can be used in open court restaurants to some extent.

• No possibility of accidents.

Disadvantages:

• Can only be applied to Booth (or similar type) seating.

• Average to high installation cost.

• Does not disinfect the rest of the space.

• Needs more than one unit, or multiple ducting, to cover all spaces and angles.

• Can create minute air drafts.
