Systemair Topvex with DELTRI+ filter

Swedish ventilation company Systemair and Belgian filter manufacturer Deltrian have joined forces to launch a new generation of virucidal filters for air handling units (AHUs).

The DELTRI+ filters are Eurovent Certified and contain advanced plasma technology capable of neutralising or destroying 99 per cent of all viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, as tested by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology and an independent laboratory. The filters are already available in most of Europe and many other markets worldwide.

With DELTRI+, building owners can improve existing units before considering more extensive upgrades to their ventilation systems. Compared with other methods utilised for virus prevention, the DELTRI+ filters are said to offer a more straightforward solution that is easy to apply and manage. Furthermore, for facility managers, the filters enable additional safety when exchanged. 

Jurgen Alexius, owner and CCO of Deltrian, said: “We are proud to cooperate with one of the world’s leading ventilation companies in launching DELTRI+. Systemair’s technical expertise and long-term market knowledge have proven invaluable in the development of this solution. We are delighted to say that DELTRI+ can capture and inactivate viruses. Its effectivity is proven in dry and wet environments, open and closed circuits alike. In addition, the filters reduce the risk of transmission and proliferation of viruses and bacteria in the air. While it does not replace other preventive measures, we consider it a hands-on contribution to support a return to a more normal life.”

Lena Eklind, group technical director at Systemair, added: “Operators do not need to worry about significantly increasing energy costs with this solution. Despite its virucidal functions and being classified ISO16890 ePM1 90 per cent, the filter holds a Eurovent Certified Performance A+ energy class rating, ensuring a low-pressure drop and market-leading dust holding capacity with the best possible energy efficiency.”
