The UPC/EC PCO filtration and disinfection solutions from SODECA are designed for spaces with high foot traffic, where air quality is crucial for the health and well-being of the occupants. In such environments, such as hospitals, offices, stores, libraries, or waiting rooms, the constant rotation of people increases the risk of contaminants accumulating in the air and on surfaces, requiring systems capable of continuously purifying the surroundings. The PCO (Photocatalytic Oxidation) technology is specifically designed to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment in these types of spaces.
This technique combines the action of UV-C light with a titanium dioxide catalyst to accelerate the natural decomposition of microorganisms, harmful particles, and organic pollutants present in the air and on nearby surfaces. In addition, the UPC/EC PCO units also work on the ventilation ducts through which the air is distributed. They are capable of disinfecting up to 40 meters of ducts, eliminating contaminants, bacteria, or viruses that may be present inside these channels and ensuring that the air delivered through them is clean.
These solutions from SODECA are also equipped with multiple filtration stages, including pre-filters and HEPA filters, which guarantee the removal of particles of various sizes, from coarse dust to ultra-fine microorganisms. Additionally, to ensure the removal of all pollutants, the UPC/EC PCO units integrate a positive and negative ionization module that groups suspended particles not trapped by the filters, facilitating their elimination through sedimentation. This way, even the most challenging contaminants are effectively treated.
Along with all these features, SODECA's PCO technology solutions can also include, upon request, particle sensors for automatic air quality control, adjusting operation according to the presence of contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or CO2. However, the system is not limited to eliminating contaminants; it also addresses persistent odors, ultra-fine dust, and allergens that may cause respiratory discomfort.
Low Noise Level
All of this cleaning and disinfection process is carried out quietly, keeping in mind that in some buildings, despite the constant flow of people, a calm environment is required, such as in hospitals or libraries. To achieve quiet operation, the UPC/EC PCO units from SODECA are equipped with EC TECHNOLOGY motors and a 25 mm acoustic enclosure made of high-quality soundproofing materials. The EC Technology motor optimizes system operation, reducing noise, while the acoustic enclosure further minimizes vibrations and sound generated by the equipment. This allows the units to operate efficiently without interfering with the tranquility of quiet environments.
Energy Efficiency
On the other hand, the use of EC TECHNOLOGY motors also plays a key role in the energy efficiency of this SODECA solution. These motors optimize energy consumption and reduce operational costs without compromising performance. They also feature an automatic control system that allows for airflow regulation, programming on/off times, and maintaining constant operation according to the specific needs of each space, enhancing the efficiency of the equipment.
In conclusion, SODECA's UPC/EC PCO filtration and disinfection units are a reliable solution to keep the air and surfaces free from contaminants in spaces with high foot traffic, without neglecting the comfort of the occupants or energy efficiency. The effectiveness of PCO technology has been tested in accredited laboratories according to the EN 14476 standard.
