Innovative 24/7 air disinfection system
combines germicidal irradiation with air circulation fans to help
improve IAQ in schools.
RACINE,
Wis., Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Modine (NYSE: MOD), a technology and indoor air quality leader
in the HVAC industry, is now offering the VidaShield™ UV24 Active
Air Disinfection System product line to the K-12 school market.
This innovative solution will further help equip schools with the
necessary tools to combat airborne pathogens.
VidaShield™ UV24 is a fast, continuous air disinfection system
that combines an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) chamber
and air circulating fans with an optional overhead ceiling light,
making it convenient for schools, universities and daycare
centers.
"Airborne pathogens are a significant contributor to the spread
of illness, which can ultimately lead to missed school days for
students," said Kimberly Raduenz,
Manager, Strategic Marketing for the IAQ division at Modine. "The
CDC recommends adding germicidal solutions in high-risk areas to
better combat pathogens. VidaShield™ UV24 is a solution that
provides ultraviolet germicidal irradiation in the form of UV-C
that is safe for occupied spaces while also being easy to install.
When combined with increased ventilation and improved filtration,
this product can be the missing component for enhanced indoor air
quality inside schools and other educational facilities."
VidaShield™ UV24 helps improve IAQ by drawing in airborne
pathogens and pollutants with an array of fans. Air is then passed
through a MERV 6 filter where larger particulates of dust are
trapped, but pathogens can pass through into a shielded chamber. A
253.7 nm UV-C bulb in the chamber neutralizes viruses, bacteria and
fungi.
VidaShield™ UV24 helps eliminate various pathogens, including
SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), coronaviruses, and
viruses or bacteria that cause the common cold, Influenza A,
measles, mumps, Tuberculosis, pneumonia, MRSA and C Diff.
"At Modine, we live by our purpose of engineering a cleaner and
healthier world," Raduenz said. "While we have a vast catalog of
products that provide schools with IAQ solutions, we are always
looking for ways to evolve that help schools provide safer and
cleaner air for students. Offering the VidaShield™ UV24 product is
another example of our dedication to students across the U.S."
