The following calculation graphic can provide an initial clue for positioning your project. Your ventilation engineer can provide you with precise results based on your specific project. Appropriate documents and calculation tools are provided in certification training courses.
In principle, the following rule of thumb can be adopted:
Central positioning (location A on graph)
Controlled living room ventilation, smaller objects
A PURVECTOR is installed right after the ventilation system, central for all ventilation lines
Decentralized positioning (location B on graph)
Medium objects
Several PURVECTORS, each in front of several outlets or ventilation duct diverter installed decentrally
Arrangement in front of every single outlet
Large-scale projects
Of course, the locations can be combined. There is no overlay of PURVECTION that would resolve or limit performance. installation options
Purvectors can be easily and safely installed in any existing and new ventilation system without switching off or disrupting ventilation operations. The most effective installation option for large rooms is direct positioning in front of the ventilation outlets (position C). Flow tests have shown that correctly positioned and dimensioned swirl outlets (sources of supply) ensure the best efficiencies for general well-being and optimal purvection.
In smaller rooms, a Purvector can also be used to operate several outlets (position B). For example, the Purvector can be positioned in front of several outlets on the same channel or in front of a channel branch that serves different rooms. For smaller properties or residential buildings, the Purvector can also be positioned centrally (position A) with controlled comfort ventilation.
Installation
general information
Purvectors can be easily and safely installed in any existing and new ventilation system without switching off or disrupting ventilation operations.
Without arrival and departure times, a Purvector is installed in approx. 15-45 minutes per piece. This depends entirely on the accessibility of the installation location and the number of Purvectors to be installed. Our principles are mathematically based on the average installation time of 30 minutes per piece. Special local conditions are not calculated with this assumption. Our calculation bases are used for an initial global cost estimate and are not binding. The licensed specialist installer in your region will be happy to provide you with binding installation offers.
All Purvectors have the same performance in terms of the neutralization performance of pollutants, foreign odors, bacteria and viruses specified by PURVECT AIR. The efficiency of neutralization in the room itself depends on the correctly adjusted ventilation capacity. This means that a poorly designed and executed ventilation system, which cannot achieve its intended ventilation of the individual rooms, also affects the performance of the Purvectors. Purvectors will improve air quality, even in rooms that are not well ventilated. In this case, additional Vento-Purvectors can be installed, which supplement the existing ventilation independently of it and provide support for the necessary purvection, but the necessary amount of fresh air must be provided through burst ventilation.
All Purvectors are designed for 24/7 operation and, under normal ventilation system control conditions, generally require no maintenance or service.
Purvection area of action
Purvectors can significantly and decisively improve air quality by optimising the balance of natural resources in indoor air. However, this requires that natural resources are available at all times. The physical process of purvectorization given by nature does not change the air composition in any way, as shown in the graphic below, but effectively neutralizes the pollutants, foreign odors and pathogens present in the room air.
Purvectors do not replace coarse and fine dust filters, but must be installed in addition to them.
Purvection does not replace or reduce a functioning ventilation system or periodic burst ventilation; it must be used in addition to these measures. Purvection has no influence on rising CO2 levels, due to the lack of a sufficient supply of fresh air, or due to the lack of fresh air. Even though the room air always smells relatively fresh due to the lack of fresh air supply and the continuous neutralization of foreign odors, the basic building blocks in sector A will still change unfavorably and must be corrected by appropriate measures.
Purvection does not produce any pollutants, such as ozone, nitrogen oxides or other pollutant emissions. The pollution-free Purvection is scientifically proven. Thanks to stable balance optimization in real time at all times, pollution-reducing performance is guaranteed safely and at all times.
The air we breathe consists of:
Standardised measurement methods to prove the effectiveness of Purvection on site, using mobile measuring devices and methods
The performance of Purvectors has been confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart, under practical conditions. To ensure that this highly efficient indoor air improvement can also be demonstrably implemented on every single project, PURVECT AIR has developed a measurement method that is simple, reproducible and standardized at any time, which, using additional measuring devices and measurement methods, provides an effective and reliable proof of PURVECTION.
With this standardized measurement method, the existing room air is first measured, analyzed and logged using various measurement methods. The Purvectors are then put into operation and the room air is measured again in the same way and under the same conditions. The two measurement results are compared with each other and so a precise assessment of the air quality improvement in the corresponding project, on site, can be proven by Purvection.
With various measuring devices and measurement methods, an accurate assessment of the air quality in the room air, before purvectorization and during purvectorization, can be determined and compared with each other.
PURVECTORS installation sites
Die Purvectoren können an verschiedenen Orten eingebaut werden. Durch die sehr langanhaltende Purvection, welches ein wesentliches Leistungsmerkmal von PURVECT AIR ist und in jahrelanger Grundlagenforschung entwickelt wurde, können Purvectoren an verschieden Orten, in neuen und bestehenden Lüftungsanlagen eingebaut werden. Es ist das Resultat der markanten und effektiven Leistungsfähigkeit, der 10 genau aufeinander abgestimmten physikalisch/ technischen Faktoren, wie PURVECT-Elektroden, welche sich in Menge, Form, Grösse, Material, Positionierung, welche die Purvectionsenergie in der richtigen optimierten Balance, in einen Strömungsoptimierten Luftstrom in der Art übergibt, dass den richtigen Ladungsträger die Purvectionsenegrie übergeben wird.
Die Schadstoff- und Keimreduktionsrate, auch mit den besten Grob- und Feinfiltern, beim Praxis bezogenen Messpunkt, also direkt beim Nutzer gleich null. Die von der Filterindustrie angegeben Werte basieren auf einem Messwert gemäss den entsprechenden Normen, wie in der nebenstehenden Grafik als theoretischer Wert angegeben.
Die Purvectoren ersetzen keine handelsübliche absorbierende Filtertechniken, sondern ergänzen diese ausgezeichnet. Filter wirken wie ein Katalysator und eliminieren den in der Aussenluft vorhanden Selbstreinigungseffekt vollständig. PURVECT AIR nützt diesen von der Natur gegebenen physikalischen Selbstreinigungsprozess optimal ohne Nebenwirkungen und Ozon- Abspaltungen.

installation options
Purvectors can be easily and safely installed in any existing and new ventilation system without switching off or disrupting ventilation operations.
The most effective installation option for large rooms is direct positioning in front of the ventilation outlets (position C). Flow tests have shown that correctly positioned and dimensioned swirl outlets (sources of supply) ensure the best efficiencies for general well-being and optimal purvection.
In smaller rooms, a Purvector can also be used to operate several outlets (position B). For example, the Purvector can be positioned in front of several outlets on the same channel or in front of a channel branch that serves different rooms.
For smaller properties or residential buildings, the Purvector can also be positioned centrally (position A) with controlled comfort ventilation.
Remaining virus load - risk of infection
For all of our neutralization performance figures through Purvection, the measurement results relate to the practice-oriented measurement point set by the Fraunhofer Institute, in the room itself, directly, virtually on the user's wet. These practice-oriented measurements, carried out by the Fraunhofer Institute, are not comparable with the measurement point defined by various standards (referred to here as a theoretical measurement point).
Since this test arrangement does not comply with applicable standards, but is based on practice where neutralization from pollutants, germs and foreign odors also takes place, we have carried out comparable test measurements in which, according to the current state of the art, we can compare different systems with each other.
At this point, we would like to emphasize once again that Purvection does not replace existing filter technologies, even though, on the graphic below, the system performance of a Purvection is 5,000 times better than the tested HEPA filter. The PURVECTORS must be installed as a supplement. Since it must be considered that a HEPA filter is an absorption filter and thus absorbs suspended particles, the Purvection neutralizes this other part.
The measurement results in this investigation are based on SARS-CoV-2 surrogate virus Phi 6. If there is another particulate matter concentrate, the measurement result will certainly be in favor of the HEPA filter. This is why fine dust filters and Purvection complement each other and are not mutually exclusive.
Filter technology and UV-C lamps
An absorption filter system, as well as ozonation with a downstream catalyst or a flow irradiated with UV-C lamps, in a closed section of a ventilation system, cleanse the flowing air cleanly and effectively (measurement point A).
However, it mixes immediately after it flows into the occupied room, which is mixed with pollutants, zero and foreign odors. Depending on the size of the room, the number of infected people, the cause of the odour and the amount of pollutants present, the originally purified air is mixed in such a way that the effectiveness is zero. In the test setup at the Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart, performance was reduced as shown above.
Purvectorization
With the downstream and supplementary Purvectors, which, depending on Project size, installed centrally, decentrally or directly in front of the ventilation outlets (optimal swirl outlet), the air improvement is fully active even when mixed with polluted room air and thus protects the room directly from pollutants, pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, as well as foreign odors.
Purvection protects 1,000 times more effective than a surgical mask worn correctly at all times.
Purvection always and at any time works directly in the room and not, like the systems described above, only in a fixed section of the ventilation system.
Like a clean room zone, free from pollutants — safely protected against pathogens at all times.
The risk of infection
In public areas where different people come together, the risk of infection through aerogenically transmitted infections is particularly high. The germs released jump over several rows of seats or several display shelves in supermarkets or in meeting rooms and open-plan offices, where everyone is arranged sitting together.
PURVECT AIR prevents this disease transmission. The risk of infection is 1,000 times lower compared to protection with a surgical mask, provided that you always wear it correctly and do not remove it when drinking and eating in public restaurants. As soon as you remove the mask, the protection is exponentially greater.

Installation expertise
First-time publisher set
PURVECT AIR offers first-time installation kits in which the necessary drills are available.
Together with a normal toolbox and a drill, the Purvectors are easy to install. Provided that the ventilation line is correctly designed according to the size of the room.
In other words, installing Purvectors is relatively easy and no problem for a skilled person. However, knowledge about the ventilation system, performance and the appropriate location requires the right background and expertise. We therefore recommend installation by a specialist. Our licensed system providers are happy to recommend specialist companies in your area.
Service and maintenance work
Basically service and maintenance-free
Purvectors are generally designed to be service and maintenance-free. Purvectors, however, are installed at various locations and under various conditions, which are subject to maintenance costs. This maintenance work must be carried out and then also affects the Purvectors, even if they generally do not need to be serviced.
These high-level maintenance tasks can occur in the following cases:
- Installation of Purvectors in ventilation lines, which are installed, for example, in kitchens and the like, in an area very heavily soiled with fats and oils, which must be cleaned at regular intervals for fire safety reasons and their safety. This then also applies to cleaning the Purvector wings and the Purvector electrodes.
- Installation in ventilation lines, where the internal safety concept requires regular maintenance/cleaning of the systems.
- Installation in ventilation systems which require occasional or regular cleaning through ozonation. In areas where Purvectors are installed, there is no need to ozonize. Every day, the Purvectors take over the complete emission-free (without ozone) of the downstream lines, such as ozonization. If ozonation is nevertheless carried out in this area, the Purvector wing must be removed during this time, as plastic parts are generally damaged by ozone.
- If the existing coarse and fine filters are not replaced regularly and therefore do not provide their intended filter performance, or incorrect manipulations, contaminants during the construction phase which have not been cleaned before start-up or construction during operation which contaminates the ventilation lines with dust particles, the Purvector blade can also become contaminated with dust particles. In such cases, the ventilation line and Purvector must generally be cleaned
BPURVECT AIR recommends concluding a service and maintenance contract for Type 4 Purvectors and PURVECT AIR 3 and 4 control systems and their sensors.
In summary:
Purvectors of type 1, 2 and 3 require no service or maintenance. Occasional cleaning as part of ventilation line cleaning, particularly in terms of fire protection, is recommended. The ventilation system and its service and maintenance costs, as described above, can have a direct effect on the cleaning costs of a Purvector. The cleaning required for a Purvector depends on the accessibility and size of the ventilation line and is carried out in approximately 15 to 30 minutes per Purvector (object-specific conditions not taken into account).
Basically:
Purvectors must not be installed in EX zones. Not even outside EX zones, if explosive gas mixtures are still being removed in the ventilation lines. Ask us directly for specific special applications. Special applications are excluded without written approval from PURVECT AIR. PURVECT AIR assumes no liability for this.
