Thermo King 推出公共巴士空气净化系统
这一解决方案帮助美国人以更安全、更健康的公共通勤方式重返工作岗位
作为可持续交通温控解决方案的领导者，Thermo King推出了一款新型公交车空气净化解决方案，能够在公交车运行时持续净化空气。Thermo King的空气净化溶液经过独立测试，已被证明在抑制某些病毒方面有98%的有效性，包括导致COVID-19*的病毒替代品。
“我们的公共交通客户理解，乘客可能会对恢复正常生活和乘坐公共交通感到担忧，”Thermo King Americas总裁Karin De Bondt说。“客户和消费者在市场上面临各种各样的空气净化索赔。我们提供经过第三方专家测试和验证的成熟解决方案，为驾驶员和乘客在交通过程中提供更安全、更健康的空气质量。”
关于Thermo King空气净化解决方案的更多信息：
- 利用创新的石墨烯增强光催化氧化（GPCO）装置配合预滤光片。
- 预过滤器收集颗粒物，而GPCO装置产生氧化剂，随着空气通过时使各种病原体失活。
- 石墨烯的特性提升了溶液的性能和安全性，超越了前一代光电催化氧化产品所能达到的水平。
- 该方案允许在乘客在场时运行， 且不 排放臭氧等有害副产物 ，并 去除甲醛等有害挥发性有机化合物。
关于独立考试的额外背景：
- Thermo King的空气净化方案在模拟公交车每小时空气变化的气流速率下进行了测试。
- • 独立实验室检测了多种污染物，包括病毒和挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）。
- 虽然实验室没有专门针对COVID-19进行测试，但使用了MS2噬菌体，这是一种常用来替代已知导致COVID-19的SARS-CoV-2病毒的替代物。
- 所有检测结果均由一位第三方行业专家处理和验证，该专家同时也是ASHRAE研究员及 ASHRAE流行病工作组成员。
- Thermo King的解决方案在开机后20分钟内被证明具有98%的有效性。
- Thermo King空气净化方案应配合美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）及其他卫生部门的指导方针使用，如佩戴口罩和保持社交距离。
Thermo King’s exclusive Air Purification Solution is integrated in the bus heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit. The solution leverages a filter, paired with an innovative cleaning technology, to capture and deactivate certain viruses like the virus that causes COVID-19*, bacteria and volatile organic compounds as the air is exchanged. It was tested extensively by an independent laboratory following guidelines of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“Public bus transit is a major driver of economic stability in cities across the U.S., with millions of people who rely on it every day,” said De Bondt. “As passengers feel confident about resuming public transport, they will have greater access to jobs and schools, supporting economic mobility across socioeconomic groups. Resumption of public transport also lowers the carbon footprint, supporting more sustainable cities.”
In 2019, Americans took 9.9 billion trips on public transportation, with 87% of these trips having a direct economic impact on local economies. According to the American Public Transportation Association, at the height of the pandemic in 2020, some cities experienced a nearly 90% decline in bus ridership.
Trane Technologies has been at the forefront of helping to create safer, healthier, and more efficient environments for homes, buildings and transportation around the world. In 2020, the company introduced the Center for Healthy and Efficient Spaces (CHES) and convened an external advisory council to support these efforts.
