Using Ultraviolet Light Equipments to lower bacteria externally as well as air-borne fragments in the airstreams of air-conditioning systems actually goes back to the early 1900s. There are 3 sorts of UV light: A, B, and C, each representing a different section of the Ultraviolet Light spectrum. Kind C, known as UVC, is the type made use of for the germicidal task. When UVC light is made use of for germicidal objectives, it is described as UVGI or ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. UVGI “shuts off” or kills microorganisms, consisting of viruses, germs, molds, as well as other fungi by interrupting their DNA. “Deactivated” implies the organism is not always eliminated but can no longer duplicate.

Yes, it can. When smell removal is a wish, we set up a Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) Grid together with our UV Light System. PCO operates at the molecular degree to break up common indoor smells in addition to various other organics including air-borne viruses, microorganisms, and also allergens( 3 ). PCO purifiers have the ability to remove air contamination much smaller sized than can be filtered, so they are ideal to round out a total indoor air top quality system.

No, source removal of contaminants remains the single best method for cleaning and decontaminating air-conditioning systems including the air ducts.

It’s not recommended. The application of UVGI in air-conditioning systems can be an effective means to reduce airborne pathogens but only if lamps are properly and strategically installed and are properly maintained.

The biggest reason to have Air Bulance install our UVGI system is the Lifetime Limited Warranty on the ballast and the two-year warranty on the bulb that comes with every install. Other companies typically offer only up to 1 year on the ballast and 1 year on the bulb.

Additionally, if installed in air-conditioning systems without proper training, UVC lamps can be largely ineffective and can create hazards or material decomposition that negatively impact the functioning of the system and put occupants and installers at risk.
