What is UV-C Light?

UV-C is the frequency used in germicidal UV lights. UV-C light technology can be used in AHUs, ducts, ice machines, and in-room disinfection. UV-C lights help sterilize microbial growth, reduce maintenance & energy costs, kill airborne germs, improve indoor air quality and disinfect chemical-free.

Do UV-C lights kill airborne germs?

UV-C light disrupts viruses, bacteria, mold and allergen’s DNA which prevents them from reproducing, effectively killing them. Our Airborne Disinfection System is equipped with high-output UV-C lamps to kill airborne pathogens 24/7. Learn more about how UVGI technology can help fight infectious diseases here.

Do UV-C lights kill germs on the surface of the coil?

The environment of an air handler is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. A biofilm of only .002″ can reduce efficiency by 37%! UV-C light kills 99.9% of microbial growth on coils and sterilizes coils continuously 24/7 365.
