THE ONLY CERTIFIED

ANTIMICROBIAL
AIR HANDLING UNIT
FOR THE FIRST TIME, ALP ACTIVE ANTIMICROBIAL
TECHNOLOGY APPLIED TO THE AIR HANDLING UNITS
(A.H.U.).
Another important goal achieved for ALPactive Antimicrobial: the owned and tested technology,
globally certified for its antimicrobial efficacy, applied to the A.H.U., has received a new patent to be
the first modular system in the world totally antimicrobial.
The extraordinary efficacy of this technology is starting when the air comes in the unit: a significant
progress for indoor air quality guaranteed by ALPactive Antimicrobial technology.

Now you can realize a certified and patented antimicrobial AHU thanks to ALPactive Antimicrobial
technology.

Patent for antimicrobial AHU.

No. 0001387064 dated 25/03/2011

Some special aluminium profiles with an high mechanical resistance intended for the bearing frame are available which can be easily connected
through polyethylene joints having fire resistance according to European standards. All the main system is realized with ALPactive Antimicrobial
technology.

The products range includes also thermal bridging profiles treated with ALPactive Antimicrobial technology. All the profiles are provided with
accessories for the correct locking of the panels and relevant pneumatic gasket in compliance with the most strict European standards. The internal
profiles, included the corners, are rounded to grant the maximum connection point between profile and panel to avoid the pathogens and/or
particulate deposit .

The aluminium sandwich panels are pre-insulated composed of an internal core of expanded polyurethane insulation foam with 45 mm of thickness
and faced on both sides with 0.5 mm aluminium foils. As regards to the fire reaction, they are in compliance with European standards. The density
is 45 kg/m3 and the foam is dangerous agents free.
The aluminium facing on the internal side of AHU panels is treated with ALPactive Antimicrobial technology.

The particular production process of the components grants an excellent homogeneity in terms of thermal insulation, thermal conductivity and
assures an high mechanical resistance under stress, a loud acoustic insulation value and an extraordinary easiness for maintenance thanks to its
internal rounded profiles system which perfectly joints all the inner surfaces.

THE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTATION.

The efficacy of ALPactive Antimicrobial technology has been awarded by important scientific organizations according to the
International standards ASTM E2180 and ISO 22196:2007.
The Ministry of Health and the Health Superior Council in Italy have carried out a long and accurate experimentation whose
result has been a declaration in such terms in a variety of conditions the use of ALPactive Antimicrobial is useful to restrain
the environmental microbial load. And some laboratory tests have proved that ALPactive Antimicrobial, applied into the
system, can break down the microbial load present in the air of 77,23% compared to the traditional plants.

Other tests, performed on real installations functioning for more than 5 years, have been published in some prestigious
medical journals. Leading certification bodies, such as FDA in the States, EFSA and CTFA have approved the efficacy and
validity of this technology in such application sectors like protected environments, scientific and research area and food,
pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
