Germ-Killing Power of UV-C Light
For over a century scientists have known about the germ-killing properties of UV-C light. Because this frequency of light is filtered out by the Earth’s atmosphere microorganisms have no defense against it. It works by scrambling their DNA which prevents them from reproducing.
DNA Scramble
UV-C light works by penetrating the cell walls of microorganisms and scrambling their DNA. This prevents them from reproducing.
Clean Coils
Mold thrives in the cool, moist interior of the central air system. UV-C light is proven effective at sterilizing mold and other biological contaminants. Moldy coils shorten the life of the air system and waste energy by reducing efficiency. UV-C light kills the mold and reduces the need for system maintenance.
Indoor Air Quality
According to the EPA indoor air pollution is often five times worse than outdoor and represents a significant health risk. AHU Series 1 improves indoor air quality by sterilizing mold, bacteria, viruses, and allergens from the air as it cycles through the central air system.
Heavy-duty Power Supply
The auto-switching 120-277 VAC power supply is completely sealed for mounting in wet locations. In addition, the UV lamp cables incorporate a waterproof connector design with a 6’ lead to allow safe routing of cables within the air handler. The power supply is available with an optional 120 VAC plug.
