In-Duct Ultraviolet Light Disinfection

Ultraviolet light is a specific part of the electromagnetic spectrum of light that offers bactericidal effects. Ultraviolet light is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C rays. It is the wavelengths in the UV-C spectrum, specifically 265 nm, which offer the greatest germicidal potential. When a micro-organism is exposed to UV-C, the nuclei of the cells are altered due to photolytic processes. This process prevents further replication and causes cell death. AirGlow is an in-duct ultraviolet light disinfection system that can be installed in any HVAC system. The AirGlow can help reduce and/or eliminate...

SPECIAL FEATURES The following information is required to size an AirGlow for duct air treatment: The AirGlow can be utilized for two distinct purposes. To reduce or eliminate airborne organisms, the AirGlow would be positioned parallel to the airflow to maximize contact time on the organisms. To improve energy efficiency, the AirGlow would be positioned parallel to the cooling coils. Used in this configuration, biofilm production on the coils is prevented or reduced, in turn, limiting the decrease in both heat transfer and airflow. - Duct or plenum size - Length of compartment or duct with AirGlow...

Promate™ Observation Port/ Sight Glass Assembly A Sight Glass Assembly allows for visual inspection of the lamp, without the need to remove the AirGlow® from the duct.
