FAQ – Questions and answers
How long can the disinfectant be kept for?
When unopened and when adhering to the prescribed storage conditions, the product can be kept for a maximum of 12 months. Refer to the information on the label. When opened and when adhering to the prescribed storage conditions, the product can be kept for a maximum of 6 months.
Can any type of compressor be used?
Yes, in principle. However, it is recommended to use an oil-free compressor. When using conventional compressors with lubrication, a reliable oil trap and filter must be used. The following must be guaranteed:
- Clean compressed air with no rust residues, condensate or oil content. Even the smallest quantities of oil, rust or other impurities may impair the effectiveness of the disinfectant.
- Effective supply quantity >100 l/min
- Set pressure 3-6 bar
- The compressor must be adequately able to operate continuously.
Where should vehicle disinfection be carried out?
Disinfection should be carried out in well-ventilated internal areas or outside (not in the rain) at an ambient temperature of 20-25 °C. Direct sunlight and an internal vehicle temperature of over 25 °C are to be avoided.
What must I pay attention to when disinfecting the air conditioning or the vehicle?
The vehicle’s passenger-compartment air filter should be removed prior to disinfection and be replaced by a new one after disinfection has been carried out. The mist should also be fed directly into the air intake ducts in order to ensure adequate distribution of the medium throughout the air-conditioning system. The vehicle manufacturer’s instructions must be observed. In general, the vehicle must always be thoroughly cleaned before disinfection.
How much air-conditioning cleaner is required for each application and each type of vehicle?
The consumption rates for air-conditioning cleaner are approximately as follows:
- Small car: application time 5 minutes; consumption 70 ml
- Mid-range car: application time 10 minutes; consumption 100 ml
- Van/SUV/minibus: application time 12 minutes; consumption 120 ml
Step-by-step instructions for vehicle disinfection
Positioning the vehicle
Position the vehicle in a cool, well-ventilated location. It is important to always keep an eye on the temperature range during use! If it is too hot, for example, an insufficient quantity of mist will be able to form in the vehicle.
Removing the filters
Remove the air filter, pollen filter, etc., and dispose of them. Tip: the location of the filters can be found through the RMI (e.g. InData or InData Pro).
Filling the disinfectant
Befüllen Sie ihre Sprühpistole mit dem Desinfektionsmittel. Die benötigte Menge schwankt je nach Fahrzeuggröße und Stärke des Geruchs.
Connecting the compressor
Schließen Sie das Gerät an einen ölfreien Kompressor an. Der Kompressor muss über eine ausreichende Dauerlauffähigkeit mit einer effektiven Liefermenge >100 l/m und einem eingestellten Druck von 3-6 bar verfügen.
Feeding in disinfectant
Öffnen Sie die Motorhaube, entfernen Sie den Innenraumfilter. Reinigen und desinfizieren Sie den Pollenfilterkasten. Schalten Sie die Lüftung auf Stufe 1 ein und sprühen Sie das Desinfektionsmittel durch die Luftansaugöffnung der HVAC-Anlage in den Innenraum ein. Mittel einleiten. Ca. 1 Minute lang einwirken lassen.
Disinfection
Nun folgt die Desinfektion des Innenraums, der Zuluft Klimaanlage, des Armaturenbretts und der Seitenteile. Schalten Sie das Gebläse auf mittlerer Stufe bei ca. 20 °C ein, öffnen Sie alle Luftdüsen und stellen Sie die Lüftung auf Umluft. Stellen Sie eine Spannungsversorgung des Bordnetzes her oder lassen Sie den Motor laufen. Öffnen Sie die Druckluftversorgung und lassen Sie das Desinfektionsmittel einströmen.
Switching off the device
As soon as a visible mist has formed, switch the device off and remove the spray gun. Close the door and let the ventilation run for a further 2-5 minutes.
Airing out the vehicle
Next, open all doors and the boot in order to briefly air out the vehicle. Now you can install new filters in the vehicle. In just 15 minutes, you have successfully disinfected the air conditioning and the vehicle itself!
