A BIT OF LIGHT CLEANING: BARKELL LAUNCH
UV COIL DISINFECTING SOLUTION
Barkell, the UK’s leading air handling specialists,
have announced the launch of LightGuard, a
UV coil cleaning solution, to aid companies
concerned about the safety of occupied buildings
in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
UV disinfection systems are coming to the forefront
of the battle against COVID-19 and being deployed in
airports, hospitals, personal hygiene systems and now
air handling units.
LightGuard uses UV-C radiation at a wavelength
of 264nm, invisible to the human eye but extremely
e ective at disinfection. UV-C can inactivate
microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi by
preventing them from infecting and replicating.
The UV-C lamps used by LightGuard are installed
SOCIAL DISTANCING IN STYLE: A CREATIVE
APPROACH TO FLOORING DESIGN FOR THE
CHANGED WORKPLACE
Milliken launches a design-led
carpet tile collection to assist
social distancing and promote
mental and physical wellbeing
in the workplace.
To support the safety and
cultural needs of the new
workplace, Milliken has created ‘Social Factor’: a collection of informational
carpet tile graphics that can be easily inserted into an existing carpet tile layout.
As the lockdown begins to ease in some countries, Milliken designers have taken
up the profound challenge of creating an aesthetically pleasing floor covering
collection to facilitate a safe return to work. Milliken research has supported the
theory that the floor plane can play a vital role in supporting the requirements
of new workplace design. Carpet can e ectively be used to define boundaries,
create zones, provide wayfinding, set navigation, direct tra ic and provide a
measuring tool through graphic messaging, colours and patterns.
Social Factor uses Milliken’s proprietary patterning technology to bring safety
messages to life with vibrant and imaginative design treatments. Social Factor
floor tiles not only provide an e ective way to design important new safety
elements into the o ice layout, they also help promote a spirit of positivity and
sense of security.
Designs include distancing and directional arrows, footsteps, chair positioning
and hand-washing icons. They provide a highly visible and easy to follow guide
for employees returning to work.

downstream
of the cooling
coil and use
a photon
concentrator
which focuses
up to 95% of
the UV energy produced onto the coil. Installation is
simple and the lamps are low energy, providing an
all-round cost e ective solution. The lamps require
replacing only once a year, slashing maintenance
costs due to removing or greatly reducing the need for
normal coil cleaning regimes.
Adam Childs, Managing Director at Barkell, states:
“As business owners consider a return to work,
many are facing a ‘new normal’, where cleanliness,
hygiene and indoor air quality are critical to minimise
risk to sta and customers. A LightGuard UV-C coil
cleaning system can be fitted in just about any new or
existing air handling unit and will e ectively disinfect
the surfaces of the equipment, removing harmful
organisms before they potentially enter the airstream.”
UV-C is e ective against many types of bacteria (eg
listeria, tuberculosis, MRSA, E-coli, legionella), fungi
(eg yeast, mould) and viruses (adenoviruses, Influenza,
Norovirus and Coronavirus). HVAC disinfectant
solutions which rely on UV light are proven to promote
the following positive e ects:
Reduced microbial contamination within HVAC
systems by more than 90%
Lower respiratory illnesses among occupants by
more than 40%
Natural solution to the problem of drug-resistant
and chemical-resistant infectious diseases
The lamps prevent the build-up of biofilm, a sticky
microbial mass found on HVAC coils, drain pans,
and ductwork. It is secreted by communities of
microorganisms, bacteria, moulds, and fungi that
naturally gather in HVAC systems.
LightGuard is o ered in partnership with Biozone
Scientific International, a US-based leader in UV
solutions.
