All operations managers should know that Air Conditioning Systems and
cooling towers are a potential breeding ground for Legionella. Many offices become sick from ducted Air
conditioners as the disease is carried through the system. Anything creating moist air is a potential
source of infection. The severe effects
of a new disease can be Respiratory Syndrome (SARS H5N1), Swine Flu (H1N1)
2019 Outbreak of Corona Virus (COVERT19) worldwide pandemic. Figures to
be updated as this is currently an on-going pandemic where numbers are not full
and final yet. Will be followed up from
WHO and their statistics. COVID 19 W.H.O. STATS

spread to 29 states in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and
Australia. Official reports stated 900 deaths from this disease.
Influenza, and viruses cause global pandemics because of the high
degree of transmissibility. The most
recent pandemic 1918 to 1919 Approximately 30 - 40 million people died world-wide
from the influenza pandemic. (Spanish flu) type H1 – 1957 pandemic – sub type
H2N2 1968 -1969 pandemic Hong Kong H3N2.

ARE WE AT
RISK?
The short answer is - YES. As
much as we don’t want to hear it, it is true.
The big question is. WHAT’S NEXT?
INSTALLATION
All units will be mounted with brackets, either on the AHU or on the
wall of the air handling unit. A 16mm
hole will be drilled into the duct work, immediately in front of the fan and
where the supply air is ducted.
An atomizer is inserted facing down the duct, where a measured amount
of detergent is delivered as a super fine mist.
A huge area is therefore treated with maximum effect and this is the
most inexpensive way of treating the duct work constantly as the machines
dispense the. Germ Killer” at various stages and timed intervals. The atomizer is secured in place by a small aluminum
plate which is riveted in place.
There is no interference to the normal operation of the AHU and the
holes can easily be plugged with rubber grommets and sealed if removed.
INJECTACHEM
units run on 220V supply and are extremely efficient as the system is pressure
charged and will use a very small amount of power to charge the system
again. All of which is controlled
automatically.
A team of trained professional staff will install each unit to the
required standards and quality control procedures.
