With the increasing demand for air quality control, integrating UV disinfection technology into ventilation and air conditioning systems has become essential. Bactericidal UV sections effectively eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and other airborne microorganisms, promoting a healthier indoor environment while reducing equipment wear and contamination buildup. Unlike conventional air filters that trap only large particles, UV-C radiation at 254 nm actively neutralizes microorganisms, ensuring continuous and efficient air disinfection.
Choosing the right UV disinfection section for ventilation
Selecting the appropriate UV germicidal section requires considering:
- Room volume and airflow capacity
- Ventilation system parameters
- Required air purity level
- Duct cross-section and installation feasibility
| 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 |
By calculating the necessary UV power based on these factors, optimal disinfection efficiency can be achieved. UVL offers a variety of UV disinfection sections, designed for different ventilation configurations and airflows.
Affordable self-installation UV kits for ventilation systems
For those seeking a cost-effective and flexible air disinfection solution, self-installation UV kits offer an excellent alternative. These kits allow users to customize and install UV lamps directly into their ventilation ducts.
What’s included in a self-installation UV kit:
- UV disinfection amalgam lamps
- Power supplies and wiring
- Mounting fixtures
- Installation guide for selecting the right setup
While standard UV lamps used in water disinfection may lose efficiency in air systems due to cooling, amalgam lamps from UVL are specially designed to maintain their effectiveness even under lower air temperatures. These lamps are also environmentally friendly and easy to dispose of.
Key benefits of self-installed UV disinfection kits
- Safe for people and animals – UV light operates within the ventilation system, preventing direct exposure.
- Compact and space-saving – No need for additional room or structural modifications.
- Versatile applications – Suitable for supply, exhaust, and recirculation air systems.
- Cost-efficient – Lower installation costs compared to pre-assembled UV disinfection units.
- High-performance efficiency – Amalgam UV lamps are more compact and more powerful than conventional mercury lamps, requiring fewer units for the same disinfection level.
Conclusion
Bactericidal UV sections and self-installation UV kits are a practical and cost-effective solution for air disinfection in residential, commercial, and industrial ventilation systems. Self-installed UV kits provide an affordable alternative, offering effective protection against airborne pathogens while ensuring energy efficiency and long-term performance.
