UV has been proven under numerous studies for its ability to destroy the DNA of germs: viruses, mold, spores, fungi, and bacteria. It works at different levels depending on what one wants to accomplish. Example 1: In the commercial world, i.e. hospitals, clean rooms and food processing plants, the objective would be to have instantaneous kill. Therefore, UV lights would blanket the air passage system and the airflow directed over and between lamps, which provide for maximum killThis process is expensive. Example 2: In residential applications, the objective is to create a cost effective and continuous method of cleaning the air.

of air pollutants is a function of space, time and the intensity of UV. Because UV has been proven to work in a cumulative manner, the polluted air is cleaned over time and subsequent passages over the UV lamp - the same way like we wash our hands more than once a day to periodically get Germs are constantly growing in our indoor environment and pollute the air weUV technology gives us the opportunity to clean the indoor air continuously in a costWestinghouse Electric, General Electric, Penn State University and Harvard School of Public Health conducted laboratory tests on the effectiveness of UV lightUV light has also been used in wastewater plants and commercial settings for over 60 years. Recent studies are proving the UV effective against biological terrorist attacks and for reducing sickness due to airborne pollutants. Q. Have indoor airborneWe have changed our homes in such a way to accelerate growth ofSelf defrost refrigerators, air conditioned and energy

tight homes, are a few examples for environments that provide breeding grounds for accelerated growth of mold and bacteria that mix with the air weAirborne house dust is a by-product of our living indoors, from dead skin, to hair, to paint flakes, to dust mite feces. live indoors up to 95% of the time, more house dust is produced. Q. Is UVC similar to ozone?Ozone is a chemical; UVC is electromagnetic energy, or rays. Ozone, as a chemical, can mix with the air and travel by air currentsbest home hvac units into the breathable air space. reduce ac unit noiseOzone oxidizes or alters the chemicalac unit for a tent structure of material it contacts. UVC does not mix with the air, but travels by wave energy. To be effective, that energy has to be in the

Further, the UVC energy degrades within a few feet of the Q. Do microorganisms have to be within sight of the UVC to be killed? A. Yes, if UVC rays are being used. To be killed by UVC, germs mustGerms can be affected by reflected UVC, but it takes longer and must be closer to the reflected light source. Few materials, (primarily polished aluminum and magnesium oxide)The common mirror will not. Q. Where in our home should we place UVC? A. Standing indoor air has such volume and is so dispersed throughout the rooms of the home, it becomes impossible to effectively clean it. But there is one place in most homes where 100% of the air can be conditioned every 12 to 15 minutes. That area is in an operating central heating and cooling airflow system (HVAC). So if we need to clean and purify the breathable air, it should be done within the HVAC unit. within this system that the UVC lamp should be placed to take advantage of the one point where the total air can be cleaned.

For best results, simply keep the germicidal UV lamp free of dust and replace it once a year to keep the system running at peak How do I know when it is time to replace the germicidal UV lamp? A. The UV lamp should be replaced once every year but also there is an indicator or sight-glass located approximately six inches from the American-Lights� chassis, that will glow while the UV lamp is

Q: If UV is harmful, is it safe to look at the light through the sight-glass? A. Germicidal UV light (UVC band) cannot pass through glass. There is no harm to look at the sight-glass to see if the unit is properly operating. an indicator and there is no need to look through it to see if the lampJust observe from a short distance. use ozone generating air cleaners?
