UVK
Viruses, bacteria, mold, spores, fungi, etc., can rapidly multiply in damp, dark HVAC systems and spread throughout the building via air conditioning systems, making the indoor environment infectious. Our UV germicidal devices installed in air ducts inactivate pathogenic microorganisms “on the spot.” Building managers should consider installing this technology in their buildings.
Principle of operation
By installing the lamps parallel to the airflow, we can ensure a longer contact time (residence time) between microorganisms and the UV-C light:
To destroy microorganisms, a radiation dose of 10–100 Ws/m² is generally required, although the radiation sensitivity of individual organisms varies greatly. The D10 dose value can range from 7 Ws/m² (Escherichia coli) to 1000 Ws/m² (fungi). The D10 value is the UV radiation dose that reduces an initial number of germs by 90%. The effect of UVC radiation on coronaviruses is well known. The D10 dose for these viruses is approximately 40 Ws/m2.
Advantages of using the equipment:
- Easy to integrate into existing air duct systems
- Configurations can be designed to achieve the desired dose
- Disinfection without chemicals and ozone
- Innovative control ensures safe operation
- Creates healthier indoor air quality
- Destroys health-damaging pathogens.
- Prevents the development of sick building syndrome.
- Improves well-being.
- Reduces HVAC system maintenance costs.
