Summer is finally here. Three months of warm, sunny days, ice cold beverages and microbial proliferation await you. That’s right. One negative side effect of the warm weather is humidity. As you know, HVAC systems perform their “cooling” operation by removing heat and moisture from...
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...
If you are still performing mechanical cleanings of your building’s HVAC/R components, you are likely wasting money and time with this temporary attempt to increase system efficiency. Most facility maintenance crews undertake these labor-intensive cleanings more than once per year, and to what end? The...
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...
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. ...
Over the past couple of decades, light energy in the Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) wavelength (253.7 nm) has been harnessed to kill and prevent the growth of, virtually all known microorganisms living HVAC/R components, such as cooling coils, plenum surfaces, drain pans and on air filters. The...
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...
