Hand dryers with air filtration and background UV air purification
May 6, 2022
How the latest low energy hand dryer technology is playing an important role in washroom infection control.
Technology has enormous potential to support our infection control strategies to keep public spaces safe. Nowhere is this need more important than in busy public washrooms where viruses and bacteria can pose a risk to users both by contaminating surfaces and circulating in the air.
To fight these dual threats, LowEnergyHandDryers.com has introduced the Diamond Dryer PURE to its range of high performance automatic hand drying solutions. As an exclusive distributor and installer of this advanced hand dryer, along with a suite of touchless washroom products, we are ideally placed to help building owners, facilities managers, fit-out contractors and specifiers to optimise infection control in public washrooms.
Diamond Dryer PURE brings together two types of air purification in a single hand dryer unit:
HEPA filtration
Air is filtered through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, a mechanical air filter that works by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles. HEPA filters are widely used in devices such as vacuum cleaners and proven in their ability, which is why they are so useful when installed in a hand dryer. The filters are easy to replace periodically to ensure they maintain their filtration performance.
UV light sterilisation
By incorporating an ultra-violet (UV) light within the hand dryer, it acts as an air sterilisation device when in stand-by mode. As air enters the hand dryer, it passes a UV-C tube which sterilises air by removing airborne contaminants, including bacteria and viruses including Covid-19. It works in the background to be continuously treating the air within the washroom, and the only maintenance that is required is a change of UV-C tube. These are long lasting so need replacing only every three years, with the dryer operating for 60.000 drying cycles prior to a “change filter light” advising a change.
These two processes work together to enable the Diamond Dryer PURE to destroy 99.9% of airborne germs and viruses within the washroom. Used in conjunction with other infection control devices, including touchless toilet flushes, automatic taps and hands-free soap dispensers, this makes the Diamond Dryer PURE a must-have for the safest public and workplace washrooms.
The benefits of the Diamond Dryer PURE go way beyond its virus and germ-killing potential. Aesthetics, fast-drying, operational reliability and low energy consumption are also optimised to tick all the boxes for building owners and managers.
The slimline design is consistent with the popular standard Diamond Dryer. Sized at just 272 x 136 x 123 mm, it is an automatic hand dryer that is elegantly small to make it ideal for washrooms with limited space.
But the Diamond Dryer PURE still packs a punch. A 320W brushless motor operates at 30,000 RPM to deliver a hand drying time of 12 seconds or less. It all adds up to an ultra-low energy, high-speed hand drying in a compact unit which comes with the peace of mind of a seven year guarantee.
