What is a UVC purifier used for?

What is the use of an air purifier with UV-C lamp?
Ultrasteril answers you.

An air purifier aims to reduce household pollution.
It is usually equipped with a dust filter to rough out the largest particles. The air then passes through a catalyst to increase UVC exposure to destroy health-damaging photogens .
Exposure to UVC at a specific wavelength and for a given time will destroy the DNA of reproductive cells to be able to eliminate bacteria, spores and viruses at 99.9% in the air. The air comes out clean and sterile!

How does a UVC device work?

UVC air purifiers destroy microorganisms . Filtration roughens the ground by retaining some of the particles and UVC rays are responsible for destroying bacteria, spores, molds, oxidizing odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and viruses.

These devices use special UVC lamps , with a precise wavelength of 254nm. These rays attack cells at the molecular level by rendering their DNA inoperative , thus destroying their genetic code . Microorganisms can no longer reproduce and therefore are unable to affect their host .

Maintenance and lifespan?

The two wearing parts are the filters and the UVC lamp .

The filters are replaced 3 to 4 times a year depending on use.

The lifetime of the lamps , to have optimum germicidal efficiency, is 4000 to 10,000 hours which is equivalent to approximately 1 year with continuous use.

Precautions to take with UVC

Generally speaking, ultraviolet rays are dangerous and harmful to the human body with prolonged exposure.
UVC can cause premature aging of the skin and can cause cancer.
They are also dangerous for the eyes .
It is for this reason that UVC rays should not be used in direct view , so always ensure that no one is present during the treatment.
All our air sterilizers are protected, so there is no risk of contact with UVC rays.

Good to know

All our devices meet the IP20 standard .
This standard guarantees that no UVC rays come out of the device. On the other hand, the air, spring sterilized.
This makes it possible to use the destructive power of UVC without any risk to your health and that of the people present in the room.

What are UVs?

These are electromagnetic waves that are invisible to the naked eye, they are also known as “black light”. UV rays have more or less long electromagnetic wavelengths but are always lower than that of light, which is what makes them invisible to the naked eye.
