Disinfect air and water with low-mercury “green” lights
A high-output (800mA), low-mercury (≤ 8 mg) UVC lamp
for disinfecting air and water in commercial and residential
environments is introduced by American Ultraviolet Company.
These easy-to-dispose of “green” lamps, which
are also available as standard output (425mA) lamps, have
been tested and validated to effectively perform for 17,000
hours (two years) when operated on high-frequency electronic
ballasts also from American Ultraviolet Company.
“Specifiers
and facilities engineers have requested a low-mercury UVC lamp
that can be disposed of in normal land fills without being treated
as hazardous waste,” said John Andros, COO of the company,
in a press release. “Though previously available as soft-glass
germicidal standard output (425mA) lamps, we now can offer our
customers low-mercury, (≤ 8 mg), high-output (800mA) lamps,
which are considerably more effective at quickly cleaning up
mold-laden and fouled coils, thus increasing HVAC operating efficiency
and equipment life, and, of course, improving indoor air quality
through pass-by disinfection of airborne viruses and bacteria.” |

High-output, low-mercury UVC lamps are available for numerous
germicidal products from American Ultraviolet Company, including
the CC, CC-R, DC, TB, and Mobile Room Disinfection Series commercial
units. UVC Germicidal Lamps provide safe, direct exposure to 254nm
UVC radiation, which, when given appropriate exposure time, inactivates
the DNA and RNA of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, mold spores,
yeast and protozoa), making them unable to reproduce.
Since 1960, American Ultraviolet Company has manufactured ultraviolet
equipment for the disinfection of air, liquids and surfaces throughout
the world. See www.americanultraviolet.com .
