With the installation of ventilation systems, there is an increasing need for air disinfection using UV lamps to ensure effective destruction of microorganisms. Bactericidal filters or UV sections for ventilation and air conditioning ducts clean the air from harmful bacteria and viruses, which promotes health and prevents premature wear and tear of the equipment. While conventional filters only trap large particles, UV radiation with a wavelength of 254 nm effectively destroys microorganisms, even when the system is in constant operation.
Selecting a filter for disinfection
In order to select the right UV germicidal section for ventilation disinfection, it is important to take into account the room volume, ventilation parameters, required cleanliness level and duct cross-section. These data will help to calculate the required UV power for quality disinfection. UVL offers a wide range of UV sections adapted to different ventilation parameters.
| Model bagian UV | The bactericidal dose (J/m3) | Capacity (m3/hour) at 99% SA efficiency | Section cross-section (mm) | Power consumption ( kwatts) |
| UVL-Aero 4 | 256 | 3 400 | 600x600 | 1.3 |
| UVL-Aero 6 | 256 | 5 200 | 600x800 | 2.0 |
| UVL-Aero 8 | 256 | 3 910 | 900x900 | 2.5 |
| UVL-Aero 10 | 256 | 14 400 | 900x1200 | 3.2 |
| UVL-Aero 14 | 256 | 19 500 | 1200x1200 | 4.5 |
| UVL-Aero 18 | 256 | 26 500 | 1400x1400 | 5.8 |
| UVL-Aero 20 | 256 | 28 200 | 1500x1500 | 6.4 |
| UVL-Aero 24 | 256 | 32 500 | 1600x1600 | 7.8 |
| UVL-Aero 28 | 256 | 36 000 | 1800x1800 | 9.0 |
| UVL-Aero 32 | 256 | 42 250 | 1800x2000 | 10.3 |
Advantages of the UV kit for self-installation in a ventilation system
An economical alternative is the self-installation UV kit. It is convenient for those who wish to select and install the lamps themselves in the ventilation duct. The kit usually includes the lamps themselves, power supplies, fixtures and wires, as well as selection instructions for the specific characteristics of the room and ventilation system. However, it is worth considering that standard UV lamps designed for water treatment are less effective in ventilation, as air cooling reduces their power. In this case, amalgam lamps from UVL, which retain their effectiveness under air cooling and are easy to dispose of, are suitable.
Advantages of self-installation of the UV kit
- Disinfection is safe for people and animals.
- Compact installation, which does not require additional space.
- Versatility - suitable for supply, exhaust and recirculation air.
- Economy: the cost of the kit is lower than ready-made analogs of high capacity.
- High performance: amalgam lamps are more compact than mercury lamps, which allows you to reduce their number with the same efficiency of disinfection.
Bactericidal UV sections and kits for ventilation provide clean and safe air. Self-installation is an affordable method of protection suitable for both private and commercial spaces.
