ATLANTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — In conjunction with the PinkCabin Aircraft Cabin Innovation Summit right here this week, Air-Clenz SystemsTM (Air-ClenzTM) introduced right now the outcomes of unbiased analysis by the University of New Mexico Department of Mechanical Engineering (UNM) on the worth of including Air- ClenzTM expertise to passenger seats on a Boeing 737-800. The analysis confirmed that Air-ClenzTM can considerably cut back and in some instances cease cross an infection amongst seated passengers in comparison with the usual HVAC system for that plane. The stage of discount ranged between 50% and 100% based mostly on flight length and the particular infectious airborne pathogen evaluated.
Stuart Sheldon, CEO of Air-ClenzTM defined that “Many Airlines are quick to share that cabin air within their aircraft is changed every 2–3 minutes. Unfortunately, even with the use of excellent HEPA filters and with cabin air changes every 2-3 minutes, it is not nearly quick enough to suppress the spread of highly infectious airborne diseases in the cabin. As an example, we can contract certain variants of COVID within 10 seconds of inhaling a nearby person’s infectious breath, cough, or sneeze. Air-ClenzTM is the only known technology that can quickly stop, capture, and clean a seated passengers’ exhaled breath, cough, or sneeze. In most cases Air-ClenzTM accomplishes this in 10 seconds or less and before the exhaled, infected air spreads throughout the cabin.”
The proprietary Air-ClenzTM strategy might be utilized in all forms of muti-seated venues, comparable to buses, trains, vehicles, theaters, school rooms and auditoriums. In addition, Air-ClenzTM has additionally tailored its expertise to be used with laptop displays, laptops, and TVs. Air-ClenzTM was granted US patent 11,324,850 in May of 2022 and lately acquired Notice of Allowance {that a} second patent will difficulty quickly. Multiple extra patent functions are pending all over the world.
Professor Svetlana Poroseva, PhD, UNM analysis staff chief, said “the UNM computational fluid dynamics-based research on aerosol transport in an aircraft cabin has been ongoing over the last two years. The research model covers a 60-seat coach section of a Boeing 737-800 and assumes that two sick passengers board the aircraft and sit with the other 58 passengers in that section. The study analyzed how 368,000 particles exhaled by sick passengers spread in the air, deposited on the cabin surfaces including the passengers, and inhaled by other passengers during 5 min of a flight in the cruise conditions. UNM first simulated a case (hereafter, the Base Case) with the aircraft’s HEPA ventilation system. After this Base Case evaluation, the team modeled three different modalities utilizing Air-ClenzTM incorporated into the cabin which were then compared to the Base Case simulations.” UNM initially modeled the Base Case in 2020 and revealed their findings in Physics of Fluids Journal in 2021.
“Once we knew the number of airborne inhaled particles for each of the four modalities, we calculated the number of infected passengers for different infectious airborne viruses and bacteria with different durations of exposure,” stated Air-ClenzTM Chief Scientist Anita Broach, PhD. “We considered SARS-Cov-2 (“COVID”), Influenza H1N1 (flu), Rhinovirus RV15 (common cold), Norovirus, Adenovirus type 4, M. tuberculosis, Bordetella pertussis, Bacillus anthracis, M. pneumoniae, etc., and for 1-hour, 2-hour, and 6- hour flights.”
Each of the Air-ClenzTM modalities: Modality A with out filter, Modality A with filter, and Modality B successfully lowered the variety of newly contaminated passengers in comparison with the Base Case. More particularly, Modality A with out filter lowered the variety of newly contaminated passengers by 33% -50%, whereas Modality A with filter lowered the variety of 50%-100% of newly contaminated passengers relying on the infectiousness of the illness and the length of the flight. Modality B lowered this quantity by greater than 89 % for a most of 1 newly contaminated passenger for the extremely infectious ailments throughout longer flights. While Modality B gave the bottom variety of newly contaminated passengers, it appears that evidently this modality often is the hardest one to be carried out in trendy plane. Therefore, Modality A with filter seems to be the perfect steadiness of simple set up and strong safety offered towards cross-infections.
Kevin Karem, PhD – a profession virologist, and an Air-ClenzTM Scientific Advisory Board Member -explains the significance of the distinctive strategy, “Stopping a breath, cough, or sneeze before it disperses into indoor room air is a very smart approach to reducing airborne cross infection. Air-ClenzTM stops the forward motion of exhaled air and then quickly captures, cleans, and returns it to the room. This approach appears to have significant promise in reducing the spread of indoor airborne infectious disease.”
Air-ClenzTM will exhibit prototypes of its expertise on the 2022 PinkCabin Aircraft Cabin Innovation Summit, hosted by Delta Air Lines and attended by most of the finest airways, plane producers, unique gear producers, suppliers, and design homes.
About Air-Clenz SystemsTM
Air-Clenz SystemsTM (www.Air-Clenz.com ) based mostly in Atlanta, Georgia, was launched by success-proven inventors, scientists, and collaboration companions making an attempt to unravel main international challenges attributable to the coronavirus pandemic, with an eye fixed to benefiting the worldwide inhabitants at massive.
Air-Clenz SystemsTM proprietary expertise and strategy is directed on the fast seize and cleansing of airborne particles from exhaled air earlier than they will disperse inside an indoor room and be transmitted to others.
