近日，奧的斯已委托開展電梯氣流的研究，關注其如何影響乘客之間傳播疫情的風險，以及如何通過以科學為基礎的安全協(xié)議減輕這些風險。這項研究將由普渡大學機械工程學教授Chen Qingyan（Yan）Chen博士領導，他的對傳染病通過室內(nèi)空氣系統(tǒng)的傳播及其預防方法的研究而受到了廣泛的認可。

“自新冠肺炎疫情開始以來，我們一直在為我們的客戶提供基本服務，并開發(fā)創(chuàng)新的解決方案來應對新的挑戰(zhàn)，其中包括乘客的安全問題。” 奧的斯營銷與銷售副總裁Robin Fiala說道，“在我們的努力下，這項研究將推動行業(yè)安全協(xié)議的發(fā)展，幫助我們的客戶在保證乘梯者的安全的方面做出更明智更有科學依據(jù)的決策。”

Otis Commissions Study on Elevator Airflow Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Otis Worldwide Corporation has commissioned a study into elevator airflow, how it affects the risk of transmission of the COVID-19 virus among passengers, and how to mitigate those risks through science-based safety protocols. The study will be led by Dr. Qingyan (Yan) Chen, who is widely recognized for his research into the spread of infectious disease through indoor air systems – and how to prevent it.“Since the start of this pandemic, we have been providing essential services for our customers and developing innovative solutions to address their challenges, including passenger safety concerns,” said Robin Fiala, Vice President, Otis Marketing & Sales. “This study will build on our efforts to advance industry safety protocols and enable us to help our customers make more informed, science-based decisions about how to keep their tenants safe.”
