How Aervi™ technology works
This is going to be an introduction page
Germicidal UV
As air flows through the plasma chamber and over the UV lamp all micro-organisms in the air are inactivated. The plasma chamber comprises of dual waveband UV lamps at 254nm and 185nm surrounded by nano coated catalytic plates.
Hydroxyl Radicals
As air flows through the chamber the UV light reacts with the titanium dioxide catalysts causing water vapor to be converted to highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH).
Superoxide Ions
As air flows through the chamber the UV light reacts with the titanium dioxide catalysts causing a release of free electrons, they bond with oxygen to form superoxide ions.
The technologies produced in the plasma chamber act on the virus in different ways
Germicidal UV
Germicidal UV light changes the viruses RNA destroying their ability to reproduce.
Hydroxyl Radicals
Hydroxyl radicals (very strong oxidising agents) cause oxidative damage to the viral particle eventually converting to CO2 and water.
Superoxide Ions
Superoxide ions bond with airborne particles (including micro-organism’s) causing them to sink as they are heavier and become attracted to surfaces beneath.
