Reduce your costs with Steril-Aire.

Your HVAC system is a breeding ground for mould and bacteria that can cause sickness, increased labor costs and energy inefficiency.

Harmful biofilm builds up in HVAC coils and drain pans, where the cool, wet conditions are ideal breeding grounds for mold and bacteria. This gluey matrix degrades both performance and IAQ, circulating microorganisms implicated in allergies, asthma and disease. Once a Steril-Aire solution is installed, biofilm is eliminated. Our high-output lamps deliver the UVC intensity required to sustain this germicidal action over time. Savings on operating costs alone can deliver payback in as soon as 6 months.

Cost reductions:

- Save up to 15% or 20% on your energy bill. Energy savings of 15 to 20% and higher are routinely documented in facilities using Steril-Aire technology. Keeping the coils and other components free of organic buildup restores heat exchange efficiency and airflow uniformity, and reduces pressure drop across the coils, The result: reduced energy consumption.

- Air handlers will run more efficiently and last longer. Without biofilm clogging up the works, air handler efficiency skyrockets. Customers report 30% increases in total cooling capacity, with improved heat transfer and air volume.

- Steril-Aire cleans coils continuously. Your coil cleaning days are over. No more steam. No more toxic chemicals. No more labor time and cost. Our UVC system makes your HVAC unit selfcleaning and keeps it that way, from coils to drain pans to the nooks and crannies your maintenance team could never reach.

- Reduce potential liability from sickness caused by HVAC-bred microbes. Bad Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has hidden costs and liabilities. Airborne allergens and disease-causing microorganisms pose risks, reduce productivity, and increase absenteeism The good news for facility owners: a healthy, green building not only reduces potential liability. It can be a selling point for tenants or employees.

Humidity Issues in Manufacturing.

Many manufacturers struggle to maintain consistent humidity levels in their facilities during the hot summer months. 2021 forecast to very extremely humid it is time to ensure your manufacturing process is not disturbed.


In a number of factories, steam and humidity are everyday byproducts of various industrial processes; if not properly maintained, excess humidity levels can cause a number of issues, resulting in delays, safety risks, and additional expenditures.


Even reliable air conditioning may not be enough to achieve the relative humidity needed as the percent relative humidity rises as the room temperature falls.


Common Issues Caused by Humidity

Different manufacturing facilities experience different humidity-related issues depending on the specific equipment and products being utilized. Specifically in machine shops, excess humidity can result in a buildup of condensation, mist, or mold, all of which can damage products, equipment, and even the facility structure itself. 


Safety Issues:

Condensation may also form on shop floors, making for a dangerous, slippery environment. Electrical and electronic equipment can quickly become saturated as well, posing serious safety and quality risks. Electrical products exposed to high humidity levels often experience corrosion and reduced insulation resistance, which can ultimately cause short circuits.


Labelling Issues:

Labelling the surface that the label is being applied to is damp or has condensation on it because the temperature difference between the package and the air in the room. The air needs to be around 40-45% relative humidity so that the surface of the package remains dry and the label sticks. Getting the stickers on fruit, bottles, anything that needs a sticker or a label onto.


Drying Cycle Issues:

Products requiring specific drying cycles are also prone to humidity-caused issues; if the moisture level of the air becomes too high, drying times can be severely delayed, holding up production, increasing energy use, and resulting in lost productivity.

As a final example, take dry food packaging plants: When exposed to excessive humidity, food product quality is at risk, which can endanger consumer health and wellbeing. Plus, many bugs and insects seek out humid conditions, thriving in areas with humidity levels between 70-80%

Dehumidifiers help Museums Preserve Collections

Maintaining optimal climate for a museum collection can be complicated. There are many things to take into consideration: general climate, comfort of the visitors and types of items in the collection.



Conservation of historical items is vital. Natural history specimens, textiles, paper, books, manuscripts, print or any other ethnographic material are subject to a natural process of decay.

They are all organically based, and therefore susceptible to mould growth and rapid deterioration, particularly in a warm, moist environment. By removing the moisture from the environment the damaging effects can be eliminated when relative humidity is kept under control.



Air Solutions provides the solutions to this problem using desiccant dehumidifiers. Desiccant dehumidifiers are used world wide protect film, tapes, documents, books, and artefacts in archives, museums, and libraries. With dehumidification we physically remove the moisture from the air:



Benefits:

  • Elimination of mould, which can appear and cause damage to certain organic materials such as books, canvas and dried fauna and flora.

  • Prevention of the reappearance of salts on the surface of dried animals (reducing the effects of their disinfection), as well as on the surface of old pieces of metal, to stop bronze disease for example.

  • If the visitor area is treated, humidity control in museums and libraries is a factor of comfort. Low humidity in winter can cause excessive cold.

  • Prevention of unpleasant odours from mould.







Dehumidification for Sports Facilities

Sports facilities are at a greater risk of high humidity. This is due to their warm temperature and the high number of people often in a compact area.

Uncontrolled humidity in these environments can cause many issues, including fog, mould, odours, bad ice (Ice Skating) or structural degradation. Not to mention the high energy costs. This is why dehumidifiers have become essential in sports facilities.

The principle operation of a desiccant dehumidifier is very simple, in that moisture is absorbed onto a desiccant wheel as air passes through and the air leaves as dry air. A small heater reactivates the wheel in another air stream and drives off the moisture which has collected on the drying side of the dehumidifier. As all the moisture is removed as water vapour by the desiccant wheel, the dehumidifier can operate effectively even at very low temperatures and still maintain the desired humidity conditions

Air Solutions specialises in bespoke air treatment solutions with over 30 years industry experience. Our solutions have helped customers from very diverse backgrounds ranging from archives to power generation facilities. Our vast range of experience lets us provide the best solution for your application.

 

Pool Dehumidification for Comfort and Wellness

Humidity is a major concern for all indoor residential or commercial swimming pools. The most effective way to control pool room humidity is to use a combination of temperature control, ventilation and a dehumidification system to reduce air moisture and condensation.

Dehumidification systems are designed to remove the moisture content within the air as the air passes through a refrigerant coil or desiccant wheel. e air is then dry and ready to absorb the moist air from within the pool environment, this process is repeated until the room meets the desired temperature or humidity level.

We are the New Zealand agent for Dantherm pool dehumidifiers. Dantherm is a global company that specialises in pool dehumidication. The of their most popular pool dehumidiers is the CDP range as it is fully automatic with electronic control and a built-in adjustable hygrostat. A clear display indicates the current status of operation. Defrosting is incorporated in the electronic control.

We have a range of pool dehumidiers available to us so through the design process we will select the dehumidier that best suits your pool surroundings and design. Dehumidiers are cost-effective, energy-effecient, user-friendly and close to silent in operation. Installation is flexible on the wall or floor.

Applications

Indoor air pollution may be more dangerous than outdoor air.

When it comes to air pollution we restrict our minds to vehicle emissions, smog, factories and fires, all pollutants that happen outdoor. We find it difficult to believe that the air we breathe indoor can be harmful to our health.

Portable and free-standing gas heaters (called 'unflued' gas heaters) release air pollutants – including oxides of nitrogen and carbon dioxide – and moisture inside your house, increasing illness from air pollution, and encouraging growth of mould.

Domestic fires and wood burners are an important source of indoor and outdoor air pollution. Wood burners heated 33 percent of North Island homes and 47 percent of South Island homes, according to the last available data, however, burning wood as a heat source has declined over time. Open fires and old wood burners might look great, but they’re not good for you.

The pandemic caused us to spend more time indoors, spurring many of us to cook and clean. Two activities that are known to increase our exposure to volatile chemicals. Volatile chemicals are emitted from conventional cleaning products, fragrances, poor ventilation or faulty architecture and all contribute to poor indoor air quality.

All these factors can in time lead to a broad range of health issues, both short-term and long-term. Short-term ailments include eye, skin and throat irritation, fatigue, headache, and muscle pain. While long-term chronic effects such as respiratory malfunctions, heart disease and lung cancer can be linked to air quality.

Sterile-Zone uses real science to create pure air that will keep you, your family or your workers breathing easier. Its three-stage purification destroys allergens and pollutants to bring a new level of air cleaning.

Steril-Aire's effective technology prevents the spread of Coronavirus

Steril-Aire UVC systems are very effective against the spread of viruses and will provide excellent pandemic protection. 

2020 has highlighted our vulnerability, and eliminating the threat of future pandemics is an essential priority. Steril-Aire’s very high output UVC works by destroying the DNA and RNA of microorganisms and is therefore effective against all types of viruses including Flu’s, Colds, Corona Virus/SARS, Measles and German Measles

The droplet nuclei for these viruses can remain airborne for hours or days depending on airflow and humidity (Virus micro-organism size is typically 10 – 500 millimicrons – millimicron = That’s 1000th of a micron). They can also enter the biofilms growing on cooling coils and potentially mutate unless the coil is treated with UVC.
