Improve Air Quality in Your Home with UV HVAC Systems

post 124
Maintaining clean air in your home is important as indoor air pollution is recognized as one of the top five environmental health risks.  The best way to improve the air quality of your home is to control pollutants, eliminate the source and ventilate your home with fresh air.  Ventilating your home with clean, outdoor air is not always an option, however, as many areas experience high levels of pollutants and allergens in the air or adverse weather conditions. 

Ultraviolet light has been known to kill germs for more than 100 years and continues to provide disinfection properties to many surface, water and air sterilization processes.  UV germicidal technology is used to disinfect surfaces in hospitals, surgical equipment, food establishments, water treatments, industrial air emissions and many other applications. UV lamps are installed in HVAC systems in commercial properties and residential homes to improve the air quality for better health.

UVC Air Sterilization Lamp Suppliers

UV light is used to kill many germs and airborne disease causing microorganisms in UV air purification systems, often installed in HVAC systems to treat large areas.  Some smaller, free standing units may treat the air in one or two rooms, whereas an HVAC UV air sterilizer will treat a whole house. This is important for people with weakened immune systems or sensitivity to airborne pollutants like people with asthma or respiratory illnesses.

LightSources is a leading supplier of UVC germicidal lamps, found in many sterilization applications worldwide.  The LightSources Group provides high quality, high tech UV germicidal solutions with a wide selection of UV germicidal lamps, quartz sleeves and components.  We offer a wide selection of:

Where Can I Find High Quality Ozone Lamps?

uv curing bulbs

Ozone occurs naturally from ultraviolet light although the ozone layer filters most of the UV light emitted by the sun.  Ultraviolet (UV) light refers to wavelengths emitted at frequencies higher than visible light. Ultraviolet, or beyond violet, refers to light frequencies in the range of 100 to 315 nm, whereas visible light is in the range of 400 to 700 nm.

UVC germicidal lamps deliver powerful UV radiation at an effective 254 nm, proven to sterilize and disinfect against many germs and viruses. When UV light is emitted in shorter wavelengths in the range between 160 to 240 nm, ozone will be produced.  Photolysis of oxygen, O2, is the process which disrupts the oxygen molecule, creating valent oxygen atoms which attach to individual oxygen molecules, creating ozone, O3. 

Quartz glass ozone lamps emit UV rays in the range of 185 nm to effectively decompress the oxygen in the air and create ozone.  Ozone disinfectant lamps are used worldwide in a number of water and air sterilization systems, eliminating harmful germs and foul odors.  UVC ozone lamps improve air quality by eliminating harmful contaminants, microorganisms, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including ammonia, sulfides and mercaptans.

High-Quality Quartz Glass Ozone Lamps

LightSources is a leading global supplier of UV lamps and lighting solutions including UVC germicidal solutions. We offer a wide selection of UVC germicidal lamps including ozone lamps and custom designed solutions.

Benefits of UV Curing Polymers

post 107

There are a few different methods used for drying polymers in many commercial and industrial applications. Air drying, applying quick drying chemicals and ultraviolet (UV) light are common methods used to dry polymers.  UV curing is becoming more popular as an effective method of curing polymers which provides many benefits.

UV curing lamps are designed to emit the proper wavelength of UV radiation which causes an instant photochemical reaction to certain polymers. UV light can instantly cure glues, epoxies, polyurethane, lacquers and many polymers. UV curing is  quick and effective providing many cost-saving benefits and advantages over other methods.


UV Curing Provides Advantages over Other Methods

Instant curing - UV curing is instant, which improves cycle times and alleviates bottlenecks in material flow. Secondary operations and packaging are often a bottleneck area for product movement.  With instant UV curing, products can be cured while moving from one station to another for many cost-saving efficiencies.

Consistent process – UV curing dries polymers instantly for a consistent and reliable process. Unlike air drying, there are no irregularities due to evaporation and no chance of dust particles contaminating surfaces while drying. UV lamps improve product quality for less scrapped and returned product.

No chemical byproducts - unlike application of chemical drying agents, UV curing does not require the use of toxic chemicals providing a safe work environment.

UV curing lamps are in high demand to improve many commercial and industrial processes. Be sure to work with a reputable UV lamp manufacturer to obtain quality lamps for the best return on your investment.
