Abstract

There is a pressing need to accelerate the development of advanced technologies to prevent Coronavirus in large gatherings. The present system is an integration of tunnel disinfectant spray system and solar setup which utilises the solar energy to power a pump which pushes the required amount of chemical mixture into the nozzles of the spray system in order to eliminate any incoming virus or bacteria on the clothes of a particular person without wetting it. Data was gathered for a mall in New Delhi related to occupancy levels before and after lockdown. A 47% and 35% spike in energy and disinfectant mixture to pump was evaluated on weekends. A 70% reduction in operating cost was registered for solar based system in comparison to non-solar setup. Optimum conditions by considering efficiency and cost effectiveness evaluated are 8 number of nozzles, nozzle angle 55 degrees spray pressure 200 bar, and pressure 200 bar.
