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....
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...
Knowledge of UV-C goes back well over 100 years, having gone through various phases of development. Here are some pivotal points in the century-long history of the various applications of UV-C. ...
The 2017 AHR EXPO was one for the books, and UV Resources is pleased to have cast its germicidal light on Sin City during the three day show. It had a cleansing effect on the roughly 60,000 HVAC/R manufacturers, distributors and contractors who attended to...
Brace yourselves. Flu season is upon us, and roughly 20 percent of the US population will experience flu-related symptoms, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. For many of us, especially the elderly and those suffering from medical conditions, these symptoms can...
Roughly 55 million students and seven million staff attend the 130,000 public and private schools each day in the United States. At any given time, each of those people are susceptible to various types of illness, many of which are communicated through the air. Ironically,...
HVAC systems can be a blessing or a curse when it comes to disease transmission and infection control. In fact, according to ASHRAE, the transmission of infectious airborne diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and the common cold can be accelerated or controlled by a building’s...
Clean air is not only good for your lungs, but also for your brain, according to new research from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's Center for Health and the Global Environment. To help conserve energy, building engineers have made significant progress over...
