As ASHRAE updates its recommendations on airborne Coronavirus, Magneto is ready to protect your loved ones!

Magneto Cleantech is ready with its patented technology Magneto Central Air Cleaner co-powered with UV-C to meet ASHRAE & CDC guidelines for airborne infection control.


Spreading like a common cold, the Coronavirus spread has struck India hard, making it the second

country after the United States that reported 1 lakh cases in one day. The devastating wave 2.0 across

India has been largely attributed to the airborne transmission of the virus. Previously, handwashing

and maintaining social distancing were the main measures that WHO recommended avoiding

contracting COVID-19, but unfortunately these measures do not prevent infection by inhalation of

small droplets or aerosolized particles exhaled by an infected person, traveling tens of meters in the

air carrying the viral content.


ASHRAE has been developing and disseminating guidance for control of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 since April 2020 and has stated that Coronavirus is “likely” to spread through the air in your HVAC. In March 2021, recognizing the current situation, ASHRAE revised its previous recommendations on the transmission of coronavirus. Considering the rapid transmission during the second wave, ASHRAE's latest published standards and revised recommendations state, “Airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is significant and should be controlled. Changes to building operations, including the operation of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, can reduce airborne exposures.”  

The statement clearly indicated that COVID-19 has now made its place in one of the major airborne diseases. However, coronavirus is not the only infectious disease India is battling against. India is home to the world’s largest number of patients suffering from Tuberculosis (TB). Started a decade before coronavirus, TB has been causing much suffering and lost productivity. As a result, India records approx 2.3 million TB cases every year. Additionally, since 2009, Swine Flu (H1N1), which was declared a pandemic after its outbreak, has been infecting several thousand Indians each year.


What ASHRAE recommended, Magneto already anticipated.


Since its inception in 2018,  Magneto Cleantech had already foreseen the growing need for a preventive measure in India’s battle against airborne diseases. The company’s focus has always been to build and deliver solutions that address the problem of airborne infections. Magneto CleanTech is a shining example endeavoring to solve the challenges posed by “Airborne Infectious spread in the Indian Subcontinent” much before Coronavirus came into the picture. It has disrupted the traditional approach of media-based filtration by developing Magneto Central Air Cleaner, a patented technology based on the principle of “Trap and Kill”.


Magneto Cleantech aims to positively transform the lives of Indians by delivering accessible, effective, and sustainable solutions to mitigate the risk of airborne diseases such as COVID 19, Swine Flu (H1N1), Influenza & Tuberculosis.


Mitigate the risk of Airborne infection with Magneto Central Air Cleaner – a commercial UV light-based air sanitization system.


Magneto Central Air Cleaner is based on a magnetic, filterless air purification process that works by harnessing the combined effect of impingement, polarisation, and agglomeration co-powered with UVGI. The UV C light sanitizer creates a dual polarity through an underlying dielectric mesh, trapping very fine particles and neutralizing bio-aerosols from the air. Its “Trap and Kill” process removes PM 2.5, disease-causing germs, allergens, and viruses in recirculating systems at 99.9% efficiency in indoor spaces.


How does the UV light sanitization component of the Magneto Central Air Cleaner work? 

The Magneto Central Air Cleaner provides UVC light sanitization based on UVGI technology that ruptures the RNA of the virus using the photonic energy of the rays. When the DNA/RNA of the microorganisms is ruptured, they cannot reproduce and are inactivated.

Magneto’s UV C light sanitizer emits UV-C rays at a wavelength of 253.7 nm to disinfect the air from the air conditioner in indoor spaces.

Magento Central Air Cleaner co-powered with UVGI combines the power of UVC light with its “Trap and Kill” process to destroy harmful microorganisms and pollutants at very high efficiency. The central air purification system meets the ASHRAE and EUROVENT guidelines. The UV C light sanitizer inactivates the coronavirus and other airborne pathogens with over 99% efficiency. The commercial UV light sanitizer technology is recommended by international bodies, including CDC, to mitigate the risk of transmission of COVID-19.

Applications of the Magneto’s Central Air Purification System against Coronavirus.


The Magneto Central Air Cleaner is built for smaller indoor spaces and commercial spaces to sanitize the indoor air that the occupants breathe. The central air purification system by Magneto can be integrated with any new or existing air conditioning systems in the indoor space.


The commercial UV light sanitizer by Magneto follows the recommendations of ASHRAE and CDC to control the spread of airborne Coronavirus.

Is UV Light a New Normal For Domestic Architecture?

Image
  Solar energy has existed as long as the sun for over 5 billion years, and it has been an essential element for the survival of various inhabitants, including animals, birds, and even microorganisms. From converting sunlight into heat for keeping themselves warm in winters to igniting a fire for cooking, people have been using solar energy for thousands of years in a variety of ways for domestic purposes. Apart from that, Solar radiation is the main source of Ultraviolet rays, is also a known solution for killing the vast majority of harmful microorganisms. The application of ultraviolet light for sanitation purposes has been recognized for over a hundred years. The Germicidal properties of UV rays were first discovered in 1877. Later in 1903, Niels Ryberg Finsen received a Nobel Prize for his use of Ultraviolet light to combat tuberculosis. Making its way upwards in the 1930s, the first UV light tubular lamp was discovered, contributing to the discovery of truly significant resea...

Office Air Purifiers: Inactivating Coronavirus Through Your HVAC Systems

Image
  The Coronavirus pandemic kept the offices sealed for a very long time. However, as the number of people returning to the workplace is increasing, the risk of coronavirus transmission is also increasing. The good news is that office air purifiers with UV light can help in the safe re-opening of offices. You've just arrived at the office after a long time working from home and you're unsure of how safe it is for you to be at a public space yet. You check the news and the delta variant & COVID-19 third wave are all over. You think about the hundreds of people who have been exposed to the virus and how they're all going to come to work and spread it. You fear that you will catch it too, questioning if it was the right decision to be here, not just for your own safety but that of your entire family. “Return to the workplace” and the threat of 3rd wave of coronavirus Every individual who is resuming work from the office must be going through this fear and concerned about th...

Protecting schools and universities from Coronavirus in the air with UV light sanitizers

Image
As India debates to open schools and universities, the pressing problem is how to clean Coronavirus from the air. A recommended measure is UV light sanitizers to ensure healthy indoor air.  When the schools and colleges finally open, millions of students and staff attend public and private education institutions each day in India. At any given time, they are susceptible to various types of airborne illnesses. The transmission of diseases communicated through the air includes tuberculosis, influenza and the common cold. Coronavirus is the newest entrant to the list. Studies report that airborne disease transmission can either be controlled or accelerated by the school or universities’ HVAC equipment.  Source   When the schools and colleges start reopening, those facilities will have to adopt active infection protocols to control the spread of Coronavirus. One such measure that is being recommended by international bodies such as ASHRAE is UV light sanitizer, UV light air ...
