Where Hv is the dose (exposure) for a microorganism at a given bactericidal efficiency (BE, J/m3),
V is the room volume (m3), DEC is the decontamination efficiency coefficient (0.4 for closed recirculators),
TBRP is the total bactericidal radiation power of lamps (W), t is the irradiation time (1 h).

The technology is based on the physical method of microbial inactivation (viability control). No HEPA filters, ozone, ultraviolet light, or
other hazardous substances are used to decontaminate the air.
The air is decontaminated by exposing microbial cells and secondary/tertiary structures of virus proteins to constant electric fields of critical strength. The air flow passes through
constant electric fields created by transversely spaced air-permeable electrodes made of highly porous electrically conductive foamed metal plates. The electrodes are connected to a
high voltage power supply so as to have alternating polarity.
