The lightweight machine can be operated as a stand-alone unit, constantly cleaning and recirculating the interior air volume. It can also be used with the included collar to duct the airflow outside, enabling a negative pressure environment.
What is negative pressure
It’s not the peer pressure you felt in high school. Instead, negative pressure rooms are used in healthcare settings to contain airborne contaminants within an infected occupant’s room. The Tri-Kleen 500UV is a negative air machine with a built-in HEPA filtration system to provide the most effective mechanical filtration available.
The quiet device creates negative pressure to remove contaminated air from a closed controlled area. Potentially dangerous particles are removed from the exhausted air at peak efficiency by the HEPA filters contained within the unit.
The Tri-Kleen 500UV features an advanced three-stage filtration system. A MERV 8 pre-filter catches macro-contamination, then a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter removes 99.97% of all particulates down to0.3 microns. Finally, the Tri-Kleen utilizes a UV-C germicidal bulb to kill trapped bacteria, viruses and mold.
You can breathe easy that your air is being filtered efficiently and effectively. The combination of filtration technologies is an essential part of keeping your family, patients, employees and customers safe.
The Tri-Kleen product gives public health officials and hospital staff the ability to turn a COVID-19 patient room into a negative pressure environment, allowing field hospitals, temporary care units, nursing homes or ad-hoc locations the ability to maintain safety for patients and front line staff.
More about air management
To prevent particles from escaping from the room to be cleaned, Tri-Kleen 500UVcan be operated in negative pressure. Operation in negative pressure requires a solid technical ventilation setup. In this case, the incoming air must be highly pure.
Positive pressure rooms are used for applications where the room’s interior must remain clean and will not be contaminated by polluted air, for example through airborne molecular contaminants or particles transported by microbes.
Closed-off rooms can be continuously cleaned of particles in circulation mode, which significantly improves the air quality.
