In times of Corona, it is more important than ever to protect yourself from viruses and germs. With thermofin® evaporators and air coolers, which are equipped with special lamps for UV-C disinfection, you take the first step to protect your employees, your company and the environment.
UV-C radiation does not occur naturally on earth, it is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere and can therefore only be generated artificially using special lamps.
The great advantage of UV-C radiation is that, depending on the radiation strength and exposure time, bacteria, viruses and microorganisms can be destroyed or inactivated. It prevents the organisms from functioning and reproducing and thereby loses the ability to spread and cause diseases in humans. Microorganisms have different levels of resistance to UV-C radiation. The simpler the structure of a microorganism, the easier it is to inactivate it using UV-C radiation.
The radiation is invisible to the human eye, but it can be dangerous for humans in high radiation intensity. The following health risks can arise:
It is therefore imperative that the UV-C radiation is sealed off, which makes it easy to use this technology.
According to internal calculations, our thermofin® units show a disinfection of 90 to 99.9 %*. It has been scientifically proven and confirmed by numerous studies that UV-C radiation eliminates germs and corona viruses on surfaces and in aerosols.
The influencing factors of UV-C disinfection include:
| Oberflächendesinfektion | air disinfection |
| direct irradiation of a surface | direct irradiation of the airflow |
| lower UV-C performance | high UV-C performance |

The following advantages result from UV-C disinfection:
lower environmental pollution by dispensing with chemical disinfection
UV-C disinfection can and should be used primarily in the food industry - i.e. in slaughterhouses, in fish, fruit and vegetable processing plants and dairies, in cold rooms as well as in work and storage rooms, in order to ensure optimal occupational hygiene.
