Advantages of Using the Robot Duct Cleaning Technology
Back in the 1980’s the use of robots was becoming quite widespread for many and diverse applications in the industry. They became popularized on TV and in movies and were being newly tasked with many jobs to cut down on labor costs and increase precision in the production of many items. This included using the robot duct cleaning technology in residential, industrial and business office applications.
About the same time that robots were coming into their own, there was a new awareness of some of the problems posed by building HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems. You might recall the big scare that occurred surrounding what was newly termed Legionnaire’s Disease, when so many people got sick while attending a conference of the American Legion in Philadelphia in 1976. It was later determined that the bacteria responsible for making so many people ill had been lurking in the building’s air duct system.
If not completely and regularly cleaned of dust and debris, air ducts can become host to a variety of problem causing bacteria and fungi that, left untreated, can cause illness to those exposed to the environment within the building. Some of the symptoms can include tiredness, fever, chills, loss of appetite and headache, among others. The air duct cleaning industry then found a new employment for robotics that was a big help in educating clients. They started using small robots with cameras to travel throughout the air duct systems and make a video of just was up … Read more
