OXIRA - NOCTURNE

The OXIRA NOCTURNE work using ultraviolet irradiation. Air is sucked into the unit, the ultraviolet light treats the air, and then expelled out. With the NOCTURNE model, the UVC used is at 253.7nm wavelength, which deactivates the cells of viruses, bacteria, yeasts and fungi from the air. The distance between the UVC source and the microbes are the determining factors of neutralisation power, which is why OXIRA units are designed to be small so that the air passing through the OXIRA units will be at the closest range from the UVC light source for the most efficient neutralisation effect. 

The contact time and distance between the UVC light source and the virus/bacteria particles are the most crucial factors affecting the ability to inactivate the virus/bacteria. The compact design of OXIRA is to ensure that air passing through the UVC chamber in the unit are within extremely close range to the UVC tube for the best germicidal effect. Light intensity - distance relationship is governed by the Inverse Square Rule of physics. Imagine that UV intensity of the German-made UVC tube is 36 microwatts (µW) at 1 meter distance, the intensity is 360,000 µW when it is only at 1cm distance, meaning that the sterilization power is 10,000 times higher at 100 times closer distances. Moreover, with OXIRA’s state of the art reflective coating which can increase the intensity by more than 50%, the germicidal power of OXIRA is industry leading and other competitors cannot match. 

Wall mount and ceiling mount installation shall take into consideration the maintenance work in the future and so installation method to be adopted shall ensure that the unit can be taken off and reinstalled on the wall or ceiling easily;
