3 About the air purifier
Description of functions and specifications
Franz Ziel GmbH is a company based in Billerbeck (Westphalia) and that has more than 40
years’ experience in ensuring virus and germ sterility in pharmaceutical systems. We
developed the air purifier on this basis, whilst placing special focus on flexible and mobile
deployment.
Fig. 3-1: Air routing for air purifier
Air contaminated with aerosols, viruses and micro-particles is drawn in from below (grey
arrows) and first cleaned by a pre-filter (ISO ePM1 55%). The pre-filter ensures that coarse
dirt particles do not pollute the HEPA filter (H14), thereby enabling prolonged life of the
HEPA filter - that separates off significant amounts of germs, micro-particles, viruses,
aerosols and fine dust from the ambient air. Operating the device with filters that have
reached or exceeded their load limits is only possible for a transition period (see Section 6,
Page 36).
The filtered air (green arrows) is fed back to the surrounding area through the air grills.

English
The bacteria, germs and viruses filtered by the HEPA filter are reliably deactivated by
regular and long-lasting heat treatment. For this decontamination, two infrared emitters
generate the temperature necessary. The fan “presses” the hot air through the HEPA filter
using a specially tuned pulse method.
Differential pressure sensors check the pollution levels of the filters and indicate when they
need to be change. This way, consistent qualities of filtering and deactivation of germs,
bacteria and viruses are guaranteed.
The power setting for the device can be adjusted according to room size.
Power settings
The device can be adjusted to the room size using 6 power settings. The values for the
specific air flow (m³/h) per power setting are listed in the following table. The “For room
volume” columns show which setting is required for which room volume to attain the
relevant air exchange rate per hour.
