With this independent, third party verification, UV Resources has demonstrated that its GLO™ family of Upper-Room UV fixtures meet ozone emission concentration limits of less than 0.005 ppm (5 ppb). The UL 2998 ozone emission standard is 10 times less than current levels permitted under...
UV Resources, a leader in UV C decontamination and HVAC efficiency solutions, today announced that its airstream disinfection systems have been certified by Intertek to meet UL 2998, a zero ozone verification standard. The UL 2998 standard reaches beyond enforced limits to ensure the company’s 253.7...
The Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UV-C) wavelength is an invaluable tool for an HVACR system. By leveraging germicidal energy to keep refrigeration coils free of microbial growth, facility managers also enjoy the benefit of reducing the spread of airborne infectious agents. However, some facility managers may...
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...
Light in the Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) spectrum has proven effective in killing virtually all known microorganisms, making it the ideal solution for cleaning HVAC cooling coils and decontaminating the upper air in public spaces such as schools and hospitals. The potency of UV lamps, however, means...
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...
