UV-C light in the 253.7nm wavelength (most common germicidal range) does not produce ozone. Most germicidal lamps, including those from UV Resources, are produced with doped quartz glass, which blocks the transmission of the 185nm ozone-producing wavelength....
There’s nothing exciting about the topic of dielectric grease - it’s about as mundane as you can get. But this silicone compound is of the utmost importance in protecting vehicles and electrical systems of all kinds, including HVAC/R ultraviolet lamp (UV-C) connections from costly corrosion...
Light in the ultraviolet-C (UV-C) germicidal spectrum provides nonstop protection for HVAC/R systems against efficiency-robbing mold and bacteria growth. Yet, only about 20 to 30 percent of building engineers enjoy this ongoing protection because they don’t replace their UV-C lamps. Nothing lasts forever. Like any lamp, UV-C...
Light in the Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) germicidal wavelength is a great means by which to improve a building’s energy efficiency and indoor air quality (IAQ), while also reducing maintenance. UV-C lamps installed either inside an HVAC system or on the wall in a room’s upper air...
A properly installed UV system is safe, simple and straightforward to operate. The UV-C industry employs several common-sense safeguards to protect HVAC service personnel from avoidable ultraviolet exposure. The bottom line, no one should be worried about being in a building with a properly installed...
Modern UV lighting for HVAC systems resembles fluorescent lamps typically found in commercial office buildings. Both types of lamps have similar form and operate using identical electrochemical processes: an electric discharge through argon gas strikes mercury vapor to generate a photon with a wavelength of...
UV light comprises a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum between 400 and 100 nm, corresponding to photon energies from 3 to 124 eV. The UV segment has four sections, labeled UV-A (400 to 315 nm), UV-B (315 to 280 nm), very high energy and destructive...
UV Resources offers EncapsuLamp™ technology. EncapsuLamp is a FEP encapsulation material (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) that hermetically seals UV-C lamps in case of breakage. Should an accident occur, broken glass and mercury will remain within the lamp protective shell protecting building occupants and facility managers....
