UV-C Applications

UV-C disinfection technologies are installed in many projects around the world.

Examples of installations appear below. They include the following product categories:

  • Upper Air products treat the upper portion of the air in a room with high intensity UV which is then circulated throughout the space
  • DIBEL (Direct Irradiation Below Exposure Limits) products directly treat the occupied space with UV levels below exposure limits
  • Closed System products fully enclose high intensity UV to treat air that is then circulated throughout the space
  • Open System products utilise high intensity UV to treat the space when unoccupied

The first priority in managing an educational establishment during a pandemic is ensuring the safety of students and staff. With this in mind, the city of Meru opted for upper air UV-C disinfection. UV-C light has been proven to effectively inactivate all tested pathogens.

The Long Island Aquarium wanted to provide continuous air disinfection in heavily trafficked areas.  UV-C DIBEL devices were installed throughout the facility to emit viricidal UV light with LEDs. The  devices provide continuous inactivation of pathogens with direct irradiation below exposure limits throughout the day.

The installed UV-C fixtures disinfect workspaces in a short amount of time in the absence of people, either after office hours and/or in-between client occupied scheduled times.  The fixture has a sensor that pauses disinfection when motion is detected. The fixture is wired to a control safety circuit.

These fixtures were installed in dental suites and are used throughout the day during periods of occupancy. The fixtures use LEDs to emit continuous germicidal UV light below exposure limits directly in the suites while occupied.

Vauban Clinic is located near Paris in an area with an active and intense cluster of COVID-19. The clinic wanted to minimise infection by installing UV-C disinfection luminaires in patient reception rooms. The technology’s operating principle is extremely simple; it continuously emits powerful UV-C in the upper part of the room, disinfecting the entire volume of air in a matter of minutes utilising natural air convection.

Multiple UV-C DIBEL products were mounted at entry points and outside public restrooms at Southbury Town Hall. The devices emit UV-C light at levels below human exposure limits defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®).
