Function description
How the ThermoNox® heat treatment eradicates pests without the need for chemicals
The ThermoNox® treatment is based on the inactivation of living cells through thermal denaturation. Stored product pests, moths, woodboring beetles or bed bugs are effectively killed by heating a room or building to a pre-determined temperature. This treatment eliminates all adult insects, but also eggs, larvae and all other stages of the insect life cycle.
The temperature has to be maintained at a minimum of 122–140 °F (50–60 °C) for a pre-determined period of time.
At the same time, this target temperature must not be exceeded, as extreme heat could potentially damage furniture or machinery.
The ThermoNox® treatment can be useful in a number of different situations
Carefully-controlled warm-up process
Warming the air gradually minimizes wasteful energy consumption and reduces potential damage and stress on structural parts throughout the heating process.
Recirculating air and convection
The ambient air is warmed by recirculation through powerful heaters. As such, thermal bridges are avoided and an optimal distribution of temperature can be achieved. Recirculating the air ensures that the entire structure is heated in a homogenous way.
Strict control of the target temperature range
The temperature is regulated by three thermostats that directly interface with the heating units. Using precise heat regulation, we are able to safely treat highly sensitive electronics and instrumentation.
Treatment under hazardous conditions
Our ThermoNox® heaters can be used in locations even if there is a risk of dust explosions due to the materials handled at this location. The maximum temperature is limited by a special circuitry within each heater. Our ThermoNox® heaters are highly versatile and can be used in all building types and structures.
Pest control without poison.
