Thanks to Tea.co's interventions, The Last Supper has been equipped with a new air conditioning and purification system.
“We also worked at night, slowly, to reduce vibrations during the works, respecting the schedule thanks to the fundamental collaboration of everyone, including that of the Dominican friars,” declared Chiara Rostagno, the museum's director.
A work that will last.
With the new systems, which will supply 10,000 cubic metres of clean air per day, monitored by 90 sensors, the lifespan of Leonardo’s famous work has been extended by a further five hundred years; furthermore, it will be possible to increase the number of daily visitors (up to 33%), thereby reducing queues at the entrance. Thanks to the work carried out by Tea.co, the air inside the refectory will be free of particulates and will contain a drastic reduction in nanoparticles, with levels 90% lower than those in the outside air, This is thanks to the doubling of the AHUs (Air Handling Units), which now operate in pairs and can function independently in the event of a fault.
In addition to dust filtration thanks to the new extraction systems, other improvement measures have been developed thanks to the engineers' work.
