What:
The ultraviolet germicidal lamps or IAQ UV Lights used for disinfection are short wave low-pressure mercury vapor tubes that produce ultraviolet wavelengths that are lethal to microorganisms. These wavelengths are in the region of maximum germicidal effectiveness and is highly lethal to virus, bacteria and mold spores.
Why:
UV air duct disinfection may be used in residential, commercial and industrial applications. An Ultraviolet air duct disinfection fixture can be applied for two types of applications in HVAC equipment, either treatment of the air stream or surfaces within the air handler. With the proper system design and installation the moving air can be disinfected with germicidal ultraviolet light.
Ultraviolet lamps sanitize air that is passed directly in their path to destroy pathogens that come in contact with the UV rays. Musty, moldy type odors can be eradicated, along with tuberculosis, cold and flu viruses, smallpox, and other airborne diseases. Read more
