Retrofittable air purification for cassettes

GERMANY: A new air purification kit is said to enable any cassette air conditioning units to be effortlessly upgraded with a powerful antibacterial and antiviral UV photocatalytic filter.

The AiroDoctor V10P-AC air purification module is said to ensure clean and healthy indoor air thanks to certified and internationally patented UV-A photocatalysis technology: fan-less, automatic on/off function, low-maintenance and extremely durable with 50,000 operating hours.

AiroDoctor is a trademark of ScreenSource, a German company with offices in Germany, USA and South Korea. It is said to be backed by an international team of biochemists and product designers with origins in the research, development and production of innovative liquid crystal and OLED display technologies.

The photocatalysis air purification module is said to be easily retrofitted externally to any cassette air conditioning unit using the adapter provided. The photocatalysis module is then operated automatically, simultaneously with the ventilation unit, minimally affecting its air-conditioning performance. The air drawn into the unit first passes through the photocatalytic UV filter where it is instantly purified.

For even more control, the optional built-in AiroScience air sensor system monitors CO2 values, air temperature, relative and absolute humidity, enthalpy and dew point. A modbus interface for integration into common building services systems is also available upon request.

The V10P-AC photocatalytic module uses hazard-free UV-A photocatalysis, and has been proven to actively decompose 99.9% of pathogens and pollutants using UV-A light from high-power LEDs in combination with a special catalyst made of titanium dioxide.
