The enclosed ventilation system, developed by Dr. Steven WANG, can be placed on hospital beds to protect healthcare workers by effectively blocking and filtering viruses. It has a pipe frame made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with extraction ports. The system is equipped with a transparent PVC hood and high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.Dr Wang’s research team will join HK Tech 300, CityU’s flagship innovation and entrepreneurship programme, to help transfer the technology into product and to promote its application in Hong Kong and beyond.
Other members of Dr Wang’s research team are Deng Wei and Wang Hongbo, PhD students of MNE. Faculty members at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London helped conduct numerical simulations for Dr Wang’s system. With the assistance of Professor Michael G Irwin, Daniel C K Yu, Professor in Anaesthesiology from the Department of Anaesthesiology at the University of Hong Kong, the system is being tested in Gleneagles.
