UVGI

Microorganisms are always present in indoor air and many can remain airborne for long periods of time. Everyday activities such as talking, coughing and moving around can release airborne microorganisms and odour causing compounds which are then carried by natural air movement or mechanical ventilation. In busy shared spaces this can lead to a build up of airborne contamination and stale air.

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation has long been used as a method of treating air within enclosed spaces. When airborne microorganisms are exposed to the correct level of UV energy at the germicidal waveband, their structure is disrupted so they can no longer function as normal. Because direct exposure of UV light to people must be carefully controlled, many systems are either fully enclosed or only operate when areas are unoccupied.

AIRsteril UVGI upper room units are designed to provide ultraviolet germicidal irradiation of air in the upper part of the room while normal activity continues below. The unit is mounted high on the wall and uses carefully controlled optics so that UV energy is directed across the upper room zone rather than into the occupied area. As warm air rises through thermal convection, airborne microorganisms and odour causing compounds are exposed to UV energy before the air circulates back into the occupied space, helping to reduce airborne contaminants and support improved air quality across the room.
