The weather turns hot: Avoid the risk of epidemic spread due to the use of air conditioning
According to the press conference of the 108th New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control in Beijing on May 18, 2020, 33 patients with concentrated fever in Xicheng District were clinically diagnosed with bacterial respiratory infections. The investigation, clinical manifestations and laboratory test results have been ruled out by the expert team and the cases of new coronary pneumonia have been ruled out. It is worth noting that most patients report fever related to the recent use of central air conditioning.

In fact, with the gradual increase in temperature, many homes and offices have turned on air conditioning, so how to use air conditioning is scientific and healthy? Xu Hejian, deputy minister of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, said at the press conference that it is recommended that the general public maintain air circulation and natural ventilation when using air conditioners, and do regular cleaning and cleaning. In public places, ensure that each room maintains independent ventilation, use new wind operation, and strictly use the centralized air conditioning ventilation system with air purification and disinfection devices as required to avoid the risk of epidemic transmission caused by the use of air conditioning.

Zeng Xiaopeng, director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, suggested that scientific and healthy use of air conditioning is particularly important. The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention has formulated guidelines for the prevention and control of air-conditioning and ventilation systems during the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, which has been updated to the third edition. Relevant departments can refer to the guidelines when using, and use air conditioners scientifically and safely.

Zeng Xiaopeng made 6 tips for the use of air conditioners in summer:

1. It is recommended to clean before using the air conditioner. Before using the air conditioner, it should be cleaned. The central air conditioner should be regularly tested, and professional disinfectants should be used to prevent respiratory tract infections caused by bacteria and mites accumulated in the air conditioner.

2. It is recommended not to turn on the air conditioner immediately when entering the room from outdoor in summer, to avoid the rapid contraction of the diastolic blood vessels, causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

3. Don't close the doors and windows for a while when the air conditioner is turned on. Let the air flow for a while and then close the doors and windows. When using the central air conditioner, the fresh air rate should be increased, and a certain amount of air circulation and natural ventilation should be maintained.

4. It is recommended that the air conditioner should be adjusted to about 26 degrees, so as to ensure that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor will not be too large.

5. It is recommended that the air conditioner be turned off for three hours after being turned on, and open the doors and windows for ventilation, and use natural ventilation.

6. People who work and live in air-conditioned rooms for a long time should pay attention to increase outdoor activities.

Attachment: Guidelines for the prevention and control of centralized air conditioning and ventilation systems during the epidemic of new coronavirus pneumonia (Third Edition)

The new coronavirus pneumonia is a new disease. Based on the current understanding of the disease, this guideline was formulated.

This guideline is applicable to the operation, management and use of centralized air conditioning and ventilation systems under the level II response during the epidemic of new coronavirus pneumonia.

1. Before using the centralized air conditioning and ventilation system, the operation and management department of the air conditioning and ventilation system should understand the type, air supply range, and fresh air intake of the central air conditioning and ventilation system.

2. According to the current epidemic situation in our city, the centralized air conditioning and ventilation system can adopt normal management. However, as a hotel and hotel for centralized isolation of medical observation points, temporary places for the distribution of overseas personnel, as well as airports, railway stations, subways and other sites with complex personnel structure and high mobility, it is necessary to meet one of the following requirements. use:

(1) The centralized air-conditioning ventilation system in all-air mode shall be closed and the return air system shall be operated with brand new wind. The premises (buildings) to which the central air-conditioning ventilation system belongs shall be operated for an additional hour before or after it is closed every day;

(2) The air-water centralized air conditioning and ventilation system must ensure that each room is independently ventilated;

(3) The centralized air conditioning and ventilation system that has been equipped with an air purification and disinfection device (to remove particulate matter, gaseous pollutants and microorganisms) should strictly follow the product instructions for use during operation to ensure that the operation effect meets the requirements of national health standards.

3. The filters, tuyere, air handling unit, surface cooler, heater (wet), condensate pan and other equipment and components of the centralized air conditioning and ventilation system in operation should be regularly cleaned, disinfected, or replaced.

4. When confirmed cases and suspected cases of new coronavirus pneumonia are found, the following prevention and control measures shall be taken:

(1) Immediately shut down the centralized air conditioning and ventilation systems corresponding to the active areas of confirmed cases and suspected cases;

(2) Immediately perform forced cleaning and disinfection on the centralized air conditioning and ventilation systems in the above areas.

5. Other considerations for the use of centralized air conditioning and ventilation systems include:

(1) The use of a centralized air-conditioning and ventilation system should ensure that all rooms in the building have air circulation and sufficient fresh air supply.

(2) During the epidemic epidemic period, priority should be given to opening windows to allow natural ventilation, and if possible, opening exhaust devices such as exhaust fans to enhance indoor air flow.

(3) Chlorine-containing disinfectants are corrosive to metals. It is recommended to prefer quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants to metal parts that need to be disinfected.

Six, disinfection method

(1) Filter

It should be cleaned first and then disinfected. It can be disinfected by spraying or wiping with quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant or 500mg / L chlorine disinfectant.

(2) Air outlet and air handling unit

It should be cleaned first and then disinfected. It can be wiped and disinfected with chemical disinfectant. The metal parts are preferably quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant, which is used for disinfection according to the concentration specified in the manual for surface disinfection. Non-metal parts are preferred with 500mg / L chlorine disinfectant.

(3) Surface cooler and heater (wet)

It should be cleaned first and then disinfected. May use quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant spray or wipe disinfection, disinfection according to the concentration specified in the instructions for surface disinfection.

(4) Condensate tray

It should be cleaned first and then disinfected. May use quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant spray or wipe disinfection, disinfection according to the concentration specified in the instructions for surface disinfection.

(5) Duct

It should be cleaned first and then disinfected. It can be spray disinfected with chemical disinfectant. The metal tube wall is preferably quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant, which is used for disinfection according to the concentration specified in the manual for surface disinfection. The non-metallic tube wall is preferably 500mg / L chlorine disinfectant.
