Air cleaning: a crucial but often forgotten defence against corona
We all want to protect ourselves and our families from corona as much as possible. Balanced ventilation and ionisation are good tools for that, but what is the difference between balanced ventilation and ionisation? And how do they help clean the air keep your home corona-free?
The coronavirus and ventilation
Ventilation is not only a solution to moisture problems such as condensation moisture. It is also employable in the fight against coronavirus.
We all know that corona is spread by close contact, but it is also spread through the air. Through aerosols. Those aerosols are even a more important dispersant than close contact. That's why you may consider the power of ventilation do not underestimate.
But good natural ventilation is sometimes difficult or even impossible. In some buildings, you simply cannot create a good natural draft. Then comes mechanical ventilation useful.
With mechanical ventilation, there are several more options. For instance, you can install a ventilation that only carries air from inside to outside. Such ventilation is good for small places, but if you want to ventilate your house really well, you can opt for balanced ventilation. Balanced ventilation does both: it brings out the dirty air from inside, but also brings in fresh, clean air. Still, even then you are not fully protected against COVID-19. That's when you need ionisation technology.
What is ionisation?
Ionisation is a technology that you can have built into a balanced ventilation system. It purifies the air of all the dirty particles you don't want to breathe: pollen, fine dust, tobacco smoke and so much more. The biggest advantage to ionisation? It also cleans the air of germs; of both bacteria and viruses. So it cleans the air from coronavirus as well.
What is the difference between balanced ventilation and ionisation?
Balanced ventilation purifies the air: it brings dirty air out and brings clean, fresh air in. But this does not purify the air of microparticles we do not want to inhale. That's where ionisation comes in. Ionisation technology cleans the air of pollen, fine dust and germs by filling the air with ions.
How does ionisation technology work?
Ions are positively or negatively charged molecules. The technology produces billions of electrons per second that attack microparticles in the air. Among those microparticles, therefore, are viruses such as coronavirus.
The ions cause the microparticles to adhere to each other, making them heavier and sink to the ground. This prevents people in the room from inhaling those microparticles.
Scientifically proven: ionisation works.
That ionisation works in the fight against coronavirus is scientifically proven. The designer of the technology (Global Plasma Solutions) had an independent scientists test the ionisation for various viruses and bacteria.
Specifically, the scientists examined how quickly the spread of viruses is reduced when exposed to ionisation. The coronavirus was reduced by as much as 90% after a one-hour exposure to the ionisation technology. So it is definitely worth investing in.
Where is this ionisation technology available?
For balance ventilation and ionisate technology, Aquaconsult works together with Aeroconsult. The first company in Belgium to offer ionisation technology to private individuals. Technology that approved by the Belgian government in the fight against coronavirus. The same technology is used in Boeing's aircraft to keep the air fresh and healthy on long flights.
