Reducing effect of viruses and enhancing air quality with HVAC solutions 

Air pollution is a serious health hazard in India with a rapid rise in PM 2.5 and other air pollutants in various cities of the country.

As soon as the states eased restrictions post Covid-19 second wave, tourists thronged to the hills and other beach destinations and threw caution to the wind by not following Covid-19 safety protocols. As a result, speculation ran rife that eventually, Covid-19 third wave might strike the country. 

Amidst all this chaos, the hospitality industry recently gained momentum, which was on halt earlier due to restrictions imposed by different states in previous months to stop the Corona virus infection spread. As per the recent reports, the hospitality sector observed a boom in the number of bookings and visitors. Most of the top tourist destinations are pre-booked. 

The hospitality sector has started to provide appropriate solutions so that all the Covid-safety protocols are followed in the first place. The first and foremost thing they are focussing on is the maintenance of hotel rooms and other areas. By now, we all are aware of the importance of keeping our environment fresh and clean. Air pollution is a serious health hazard in India with a rapid rise in PM 2.5 and other air pollutants in various cities of the country. Like outside, indoor air carries numerous contaminants like Nitrogen dioxide, Formaldehyde, Aerosols, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), chemicals etc. These contaminants serve as breeding grounds for different airborne microbes and are the root cause behind allergies, cold and flu. 

Thus, it’s extremely important to provide a proper ventilation system, and so the hotel management is also working on this concern by installing proper ventilation systems in the hotel rooms and corridors. 

Global leaders like Mitsubishi Electric India offer advanced environmental systems that can create a sustainable environment for all. To safeguard people from extreme temperature and pollution and enhance indoor air quality amidst pandemics, the company created an exquisite range of products that has a Lossnay Ventilation System. 

Lossnay ventilation system offers a lot of benefits including clean and fresh air, improved air quality and comfort, increased indoor climate control, energy-efficient heat recovery, reduced energy bills etc. It is a ventilation system that provides fresh clean air coming directly from outside excluding the air available in the room, removes both moisture, stale indoor air and effectively recovers heat not only from outgoing stale air but also from damp areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. There is a notable technology called ‘Lossnay Core’ that allows fresh air intake with the least amount of loss in indoor temperature. This technology provides comfort with the help of the heat-exchange-unit’s cross flow, plate fin structure. Additionally, a diaphragm is also present, which is composed of a specially processed paper that completely separates the exhausted and induced air supplies. This design makes sure that only fresh air enters the room without getting contaminated by pollutants in the environment. 

Lossnay provides standard filters and optional filters that remove 95 percent airborne particulates (2.0µm or more). Recirculating the air through an air purifier will remove particulate matter, without reducing chemical pollution and volatile organic compounds pollution and decrease in oxygen concentration. Lossnay not only helps in removing particulate matter, but also helps in reducing chemical and volatile organic compounds in the room, maintaining oxygen level all by throwing conditioned stale air outside and bringing in the filtered fresh air with partial conditioning. 

Lossnay ventilation system works towards enhancing the air quality, hence it is ideal for cities troubled with pollution and smog, both commercial as well as residential use. The Lossnay technology provides the perfect solution for increasing the quality of air and getting rid of harmful pollutants, which is the need of the hour. 

ACs with Lossnay Ventilation can help in reducing the effect of the various airborne viruses and help improve indoor air quality. 

Mitsubishi Electric Air Conditioners have recently introduced the most powerful and multistage air filters – Plasma Quad Connect. These filters effectively prevent viruses, bacteria, molds, allergens, dust & PM2.5 to give you clean and healthy air. It is a high-performance air purifying device which can even be installed on existing units, contributing to a better air quality in your room.
