Killing viruses & bacteria with heat-2

HEAT EFFICIENTLY KILLS BACTERIA AND VIRUSES The best way to disinfect a room is HEAT. In fact, heat can penetrate deeply into the area, efficiently killing bacteria and deactivating viruses. The effect of heat disinfection in a room can be measured and documented by using Master IMCS. Heat comes with numerous other benefits: • Environmentally friendly • Simple setup procedure • No subsequently cleaning required • No risk of chemical pollution and/or allergic reactions • Much more efficient than any other known alternative Founded in 1954, Master Climate Solutions is an experienced manufacturer...

Killing viruses & bacteria with heat-3

Heat has been known to kill pathogens for centuries. In the course of history, scientists have been able to demonstrate how temperature exposure kills or disactivates a wide variety of bacteria and viruses. This is substantiated by the below table: Source: Hampil, B. (1932):"The Influence ofTemperature on the Life Processes and Death of Bacteria" The Quarterly Review of Biology, 7(2):172-196 In relation to modern day viruses such as the SARS-CoV Coronavirus, recent studies have found it to be quite stable at low and room temperatures. According to WHO, only a minimal reduction in virus concentration...

Killing viruses & bacteria with heat-4

Heat treatments can eliminate bacteria and viruses in a variety of applications, a selection of which have been depicted here. Common to all is the fact that heat needs to be applied long enough to penetrate the entire application structure for full efficiency. That requires a source of heat (heater) combined with a device capable of accurately measuring the temperature (digital thermostat) in the coldest area of the application. Please contact us for assistance in how to heat treat your application correctly. EMERGENCY TENTS SPECIAL CLOTHING & & ARMY BARRACKS TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT Killing virus...

Killing viruses & bacteria with heat-9

An effective disinfection requires high temperatures. But to avoid thermal shock to the room and the objects in it, the temperature needs to be increased smoothly. Master’s purpose-built EKO heaters do just that. Most other heaters on the market are incapable of reaching these high temperatures smoothly and are therefore unfit for thermal disinfection. • Compact and lightweight • EKO 3 delivers 800 m3/h of hot air using only 2.8 kW at 240 V (single phase) • Connection to the external digital remote thermostat THK, specific for this application, included in the package • Overheat thermostat •...
