The need for air disinfection exists both in public spaces and in medical facilities. UV-C air sterilizers are suitable for this purpose, as they require little maintenance and achieve a high inactivation rate for viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. Dinies Technologies GmbH is one of the leading manufacturers in this market and offers different modules for various applications. We have summarized everything you need to know about UV-C disinfection and Dinies solutions here.

Air disinfection in public areas

At the latest since the COVID pandemic, air disinfection in public spaces has been assigned central importance. This applies in particular to buildings with a high volume of through traffic. Here, germ contamination not only leads to sick leave and a reduction in well-being, but can also reduce productivity - which in turn can be prevented by the use of air disinfection systems.

How UV disinfection works

Disinfection with UV light uses short-wave UV lamps that achieve targeted germ reduction with the help of a high proportion of UV radiation. The DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens is thus permanently damaged so that they cannot multiply any further. In contrast to chemical disinfectants, the inactivation rate is significantly higher - for most UV systems it can be as high as 99.9%.

In addition to UV chambers and UV lamps, UV air purifiers, which can vary in size and rated power, are the most suitable for this purpose. They are installed directly in the affected rooms and have a fan that draws in the room air. This air then passes the UV tube inside the unit and is disinfected in the process. 

Possible applications in public facilities

Especially in public faclities, many different people come together who may have previously come into contact with corresponding pathogens. This increases the risk of infection - which in turn can be reduced with UV-C air sterilizers. The following places can be mentioned as examples of ideal application areas in public spaces:

  • Schools, kindergartens and daycare centers: safety distances and the wearing of masks cannot always be ensured in facilities with children and young people. In addition, there is a lack of ventilation and increased through traffic. UV-C air disinfection modules can provide a flexible solution to minimize any risk of infection.
  • Law firms and offices: Law firms, offices and meeting rooms are also visited by a large number of people on a daily basis. Studies have previously shown that up to 80% of respiratory-related sick leave is due to viral infections. UV-C air sterilizers reduce viral loads and contribute to energy savings by reducing minimum fresh air requirements.
  • Offices and public institutions: Especially in offices and public institutions, through-traffic is high - and the ability to track infection pathways is rather limited. Even a few UV lights in effective areas (such as waiting rooms, corridors and entrance halls) can significantly minimize the risk of infection.

Air disinfection in medical facilities

Medical facilities represent a specialized area of application for disinfection modules. Here they can be used in addition to other sterilization methods (think of steam sterilization or surface disinfection) to minimize the spread of pathogens.

Possible applications in the medical field

There are also numerous applications for UV-C air sterilizers in the medical field. The following facilities can be mentioned as examples, in which patients and employees should be particularly protected:

  • Medical offices: Medical offices require continuous and automatic air disinfection, as they can be considered an interface between the public space (such as the waiting room) and the medical facilities. UV-C modules are not only low-maintenance but, unlike chemical disinfection, can be used when people are in the room. This keeps the medical office safe despite patient traffic.
  • Care facilities: Nursing homes often contain elderly people who need special protection due to a compromised immune system and pre-existing conditions - without the use of a lot of chemicals. Another advantage of UV-C air disinfection can also be used there. It contributes to a healthy indoor climate and can reduce odors.
  • Hospitals: It is not uncommon to find both an increased incidence of bacteria and viruses as well as an increased number of people with a weakened immune system in this environment. In addition, different groups of people come together, ranging from patients to employees to visitors. Incidentally, UV-C systems are also used in treatment rooms to provide greater protection and safety.

Dinies UVG80 air sterilizer - the compact version

The Dinies UVG80 air purifier is one of the absolute bestsellers in the field of disinfection for a reason. It impresses with an included wall and stand bracket, so that the installation is very simple. The room air is continuously and naturally disinfected up to 99.9% without chemicals, without exceeding a volume of 35 dB.

The manufacturer pays a lot of attention to an attractive design of this air sterilizer. It is made of powder-coated aluminum and equipped with a stand made of polished stainless steel - this creates a high-quality and sleek look.

Simple and effective disinfection

The UVG80 air sterilizer from Dinies is also technically impressive. It is recommended for a room size up to 40 m² (for disinfecting bacteria and viruses) or 15 m² (for disinfecting mold and spores). The air capacity is 70 m³ and is achieved with a strong rated power of 70 W. Not only continuous operation, but also operation with people in the room is possible without any problems. Between 12,000 and 16,000 operating hours are specified for the integrated 58 W lamp - maintenance is correspondingly low.

The Dinies UVG80 air purifier is recommended for these areas

Due to its small dimensions and flexible mounting, the UVG80 air purifier from Dinies can be used in many areas. In addition, its sleek design matches virtually any decor without sacrificing air disinfection effectiveness. In particular, the following locations and facilities can benefit from the device:

  • Medical offices
  • Hospitals
  • Waiting rooms and offices
  • Kindergartens and daycare centers
  • Rooms with an increased risk of infection due to a large number of people

Dinies UVG120 air purifier - protection for employees, customers and guests.

The Dinies UVG120 air purifier is even more powerful. It is designed for rooms with an area of up to 80 m². The built-in emitters minimize the germ load of the ambient air up to 99.9% and work environmentally friendly as well as free of chemicals. This makes the device absolutely safe not only for people, but also for animals and plants.

Dinies UVG120 air sterilizer is made of powder-coated aluminum in white color and is suitable for temperature ranges between 15°C and 32°C. A bracket for ceiling mounting is included. In addition, the two required UV-C tubes are also supplied directly.

Simple disinfection for larger rooms

The devices of the UVG120 series are of course also technically convincing. They are recommended for a room size of 80 m² (bacteria and viruses) or 30 m² (mold and spores), so that even large areas can be easily covered. The air performance is 138 m³ in total, which is almost double the volume of the UVG80 unit. At 45 dB, however, a slightly higher volume must be accepted - but even this value still corresponds to a normal room volume without street traffic in front of the window.

In addition, there is a rated power of 145 W and two integrated 58 W lamps, which can also run for between 12,000 and 16,000 operating hours. The low-maintenance air purifier can be combined with a wall-mounted or floor-standing bracket, further expanding the possible areas of application.
