Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) and high-efficiency filtration as the basis of design the CRYSTAL-AIRE®uv offers a solution to the commercial public that would allow easy, simple and low impact to the facility while cleaning, sanitizing, and purifying the ambient air of particles, bacteria, mold and virus within inside occupied spaces that can have a high turnover of people, crowded or poorly ventilated areas.
 

Lancaster, New York, April 20, 2021—The Industrial Gas Filtration and Generation Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, today announced a portable system that uses advanced filtration and irradiation technology to purify the air for indoor spaces. The combination of ultraviolet energy and True-HEPA filtration captures, irradiates, and filters bacteria, dust, mold spores, odors, and virus particles as small as 0.3 microns which is about 250 times smaller than a human hair.

CRYSTAL-AIRE®UV is a mobile, wall, or ceiling mount system that includes up to four stages of air purification. In the first stage, large particles are filtered out of the airstream by the MERV 8 pre-filter. The air then passes into a second stage, where particles are dosed with high-intensity UVGI energy. In the third stage, the high-efficiency True-HEPA filter captures particles as small as 0.3 microns, and the UVGI high-intensity energy irradiates them. Third-party lab tests show CRYSTAL-AIRE®UV deactivates >94% of micro-organisms in 10 minutes and >99% in 15 minutes.

The cleaned and purified air is then returned into the indoor space. Before the air exits the unit, there is also an optional fourth stage where the air can pass through a carbon filter to help with odors in difficult environments.

“Now more than ever, we know the air we breathe is critical to our health. You want your employees, customers, and friends to be safe and to trust they are in a clean air environment,” said Tim Rosiek, product manager, Industrial Gas Filtration and Generation Division. “CRYSTAL-AIRE®uv combines ultraviolet germicidal irradiation with high-efficiency filtration to continuously purify indoor air from pollutants such as allergens, dust, viruses, mold, and bacteria that may be airborne and we are excited to share this proven solution.”

The applications for this equipment are endless, administrative offices, worship centers, retirement/assisted living centers municipal centers, police stations, residential halls, courtrooms, reception areas, hotel lobbies, passenger terminals, offices, conference and meeting spaces, physical fitness centers, gymnasiums, classrooms, breakrooms, restrooms, lunchrooms, restaurants, bars/nightclubs, and weight rooms.
