Indoor Air Quality - The Dilemma

The quality of indoor air can be greatly overlooked in a commercial building, because of the emphasis on insulation to combat energy loss. This results in biological and chemical concentrations continually rising within the building.

Commercial buildings face a myriad of Indoor Air Quality issues, from not bringing in enough outside air to poor air being brought in from outside odours, biological contaminates and VOC off-gassing to name a few.

The Science of Ultraviolet

The sun delivers specific UV wavelengths that destroy and deactivate biological and chemical contaminants that are in the atmosphere. SPC Sanuvox proprietary Ultraviolet lamps produce the same UV wavelengths as the sun.

UVC (germicidal 254 nm) and UVV (oxidising 187 nm) produced using pure fused quartz glass that are combined into one single UV lamp/emitter.

UVC energy attacks the DNA of a living cell, penetrating the cell membrane and breaking the DNA structure of the microorganism, inhibiting reproduction. UVC is effective in destroying biological contaminants and odours such as mold, bacteria and viruses.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends this method for destroying viruses such as tuberculosis.

UVV (Vacuum UV) is used for oxidisation; this is the portion of the lamp that reduces chemicals and odours, such as cigarette smoke, VOC’s, diesel fumes and formaldehyde, amongst others. Both UV wavelengths work together to destroy thousands of biological and reduce chemical contaminants that continually circulate within the building.

Depending on the application, SPC Sanuvox will use UVC, UVV, or a combination of both wavelengths to achive the desired results. SPC Sanuvox offer both UV object purification and UV air purification.

SPC Sanuvox divides the commercial line into 2 categories:

a) UV Object Purification (HVAC coil, walls, etc)

b) UV Air Purification

SPC Sanuvox UV Object Purifiers named appropriately the “CoilClean series”, are high-intensity 19mm UVC (germicidal 254nm) quartz lamps mounted to anodised aluminium parabolic reflectors. These systems are designed to bask stationary objects (usually an A/C COIL) with UVC light preventing and destroying mold and other microbial growth on the object. Although very effective in keeping a stationary object clean, UV lamps shining on an object will have little effect on any other Indoor Air Quality concerns outside of the object that is being treated. UV CoilCleaners will have little effect on the air moving in the duct. By treating the air in the duct with UV Air Purifiers (see UV Air Purifiers) they will also keep the coil clean by reducing the biological containments in the air.

SPC Sanuvox UV Air Purifiers are specially designed to drastically improve the air quality in the building or facility. SPC Sanuvox proprietary systems make it possible to deliver high amounts of UV energy to the air-stream while at the same time increasing the “dwell time” between the air and UV purifier.

SPC Sanuvox UV Air Purifiers use proprietary duel zone (UVV 187nm and UVC 254nm) high-intensity or UVC (254nm) high-intensity 19mm quartz lamps to destroy biological and chemicals in the air.
