Stringent hand hygiene prevents the spread of coronavirus and washing correctly with soap and water is proven more effective than hand sanitisers. Easy access to facilities at the point of need is essential to encourage frequent handwashing and removes the need to move around buildings unnecessarily to find clean running water. This is critical in the temporary field hospitals set up to treat Covid 19 patients, as well as workplaces of other essential workers. As the country emerges from lockdown, it will be vital that people continue to be diligent about cleanliness.Sunamp's mobile handwash units will use RAL certified heat battery technology aimed at cutting carbon emissions to provide large amounts of hot water when and, crucially, where it is needed most, whether on temporary wards, in the workplace or out in the field.The mobile handwash units will not require any plumbing or electrical expertise to become operational. On arrival on site, they can simply be plugged in for 2 -- 3 hours to charge the battery, then the unit can be moved into position where the stored energy will be released as heat providing instant hot water on demand. Multiple units will be smartly controlled to be charged by a standard wall plug. There will be no trailing wires. The water supply will either be held in a storage container concealed as part of the unit, or from a pipe attached to cold mains water where it is readily available. Wastewater will be collected in a container to be safely disposed of.Sunamp's mobile hand washing units will be developed to:* Provide instant hot water for improved comfort and efficacy for hand sanitisation, or for cleaning implements and utensils at the point where it is needed* Be fully mobile - suitable for use with and without either a plumbed-in water supply or nearby energy supply* Be easy to use by dispensing with the need for plumbing or electrical expertise* Minimise the risk of legionella disease -- water is stored at cold temperature and is heated instantly and only as required* Meet demand -- the units will supply enough clean hot water to allow one person per minute per basin to thoroughly wash their hands in hot water without the need for connection to an energy supply* Require minimum maintenance - heat batteries have a proven lifecycle of over 40,000 cycles, more than 50 years of normal use

严格的手部卫生可以防止冠状病毒的传播，用肥皂和水正确清洗被证明比洗手液更有效。在需要时方便地使用设施是至关重要的，以鼓励经常洗手，并消除不必要地在建筑物周围移动以寻找清洁自来水的需要。这对于为治疗新冠肺炎患者而设立的临时野战医院以及其他重要工作人员的工作场所至关重要。随着国家从封锁中走出来，人们继续努力保持清洁至关重要。Sunamp的移动的洗手装置将使用RAL认证的热电池技术，旨在减少碳排放，在最需要的时候提供大量热水，关键是，无论是在临时病房，在工作场所或在外地。移动的洗手单位将不需要任何管道或电气专业知识成为运作。到达现场后，它们可以简单地插入2 - 3小时来给电池充电，然后可以将单元移动到存储的能量将被释放为热量的位置，根据需要提供即时热水。多个单元将被智能控制，通过标准的墙上插头充电。不会有拖线。供水将保存在作为装置一部分隐藏的储存容器中，或者从连接到冷自来水的管道中获取。废水将被收集在一个容器中进行安全处理。Sunamp的移动的洗手装置将被开发为：* 提供即时热水，以改善手部消毒的舒适度和功效，或在需要的地方清洁工具和器皿 * 完全移动的-适合使用或不使用管道供水或附近的能源供应 * 易于使用，无需管道或电气专业知识 * 最大限度地减少军团菌病的风险-水储存在低温下，并立即加热，只在需要时 * 满足需求-该装置将提供足够的清洁热水，允许每个盆每分钟一个人在热水中彻底洗手，而不需要连接到能源供应 * 需要最低限度的维护-热电池具有超过40，000次循环的可靠生命周期，正常使用超过50年
