PUREAIRE UV MAKES THE AIR SAFER TO BREATHE

PureAire UV air sterilization systems will improve indoor air quality for building occupants by reducing airborne biological contaminants and toxic VOCs. We offer practical solutions for all industrial, medical, retail, corporate, and hospitality applications.

 


 

 

AIRBORNE DISINFECTION

Airborne infectious diseases are one of the most serious threats to health related to HVAC equipment. In settings such as hospitals, clinics, yoga studios, elder care and veterinary facilities airborne pathogens can be spread by the air system threatening the health of patrons and exposing facility owners to liability risks.

 

ROOM DISINFECTION

Another application for high-output germicidal UV light is sterilization of room surfaces. It is critical for facilities such as hospitals, veterinary clinics, and food processing centers to limit the spread of biological contaminants as much as possible. The Environmental Surface Disinfection System (ESDS) from PureAire UV Commercial Series addresses the need for surface disinfection in spaces that are prone to biological contamination or where biohazards must be kept to an absolute minimum.

 

Save on HVAC Maintenance, Energy, & Equipment Life

UVGI saves energy by sterilizing microbial growth on cooling coils which robs efficiency and shortens the life of HVAC equipment.

Every building can benefit from ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). Installing a PureAire UV system will result in significant energy and maintenance savings. These systems also improve indoor air quality for building occupants by reducing airborne biological contaminants and toxic VOCs. We offer practical solutions for all industrial, medical, retail, corporate, and hospitality applications.

The PureAire UV Difference

COIL DISINFECTION

Biological fouling (usually caused by mold) is a common problem in commercial air handlers. The cool, moist interior of the air system is an ideal breeding-ground for mold. A biofilm of only 0.002” can reduce efficiency by 37%! Unfortunately the conventional cleaning procedures used to kill mold are expensive, labor intensive, and use harsh chemicals which are themselves a source of environmental contamination and a health risk to maintenance workers.

The good news is that UVGI is proven to sterilize cooling coils continuously, 24/7, safely, and cost-effectively. The PureAire UV Commercial Series Standard “L” System, Tubular Rack System, and Absorptive Photocatalytic Oxidation (APCO) Rack System are all designed to stop biological fouling on the coils and will quickly pay for themselves in energy and maintenance savings.

The PureAire UV Commercial Series Standard “L” System and Tubular Rack System are both ideal for coil disinfection. The APCO Rack System reduces odors and VOCs in addition to disinfecting coils. Smaller commercial air systems (up to 7.5 tons) can use one of our AHU Series 1 products for coil disinfection.

ODOR/VOC REDUCTION

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are the source of nearly all odors. Unpleasant odors in a business, medical, or animal care facility can be a real problem. VOCs are not only the source of unpleasant odors, they can also be toxic. Chemicals like formaldehyde, acetone, and toluene are significant health risks and contribute to indoor air pollution.

APCO technology from PureAire UV, which was initially developed for residential whole-house duct mounted air purifiers, has been adapted for larger commercial systems with the APCO Rack System. This award-winning technology uses a unique combination of UV-C light, activated carbon, and titanium dioxide to safely adsorb and neutralize VOC molecules in the air as it passes through the HVAC system. APCO technology produces no ozone.

APCO carbon cells trap and hold VOC molecules so they can be neutralized by a process called photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). The PCO reaction also keeps the cells clean so they should never need to be replaced.

 


 

Standard UV System (TUVC)

The PureAire UV Standard Commercial UV System features high-quality water-resistant lamps with convenient “L” mounting brackets. Also included is our heavy-duty multi-voltage water-resistant power supply which comes with a lifetime warranty.
Choose normal-output lamps for surface and air treatment or optional high-output lamps for intensive air treatment.

Tubular Rack System (TUVC-TRS)

This is our most popular commercial product. The PureAire UV Tubular Rack System offers easy, flexible installation and includes all the clamps and mounting hardware necessary for mounting. It’s designed for use with standard 1/2″ EMT tubing or use our optional custom steel tubing.

Choose normal-output lamps for surface and air treatment or optional high-output lamps for intensive air treatment.

APCO Rack System (TUV-C-APCO)

Our most advanced commercial product adds our award-winning APCO gas-phase air purification technology to the Tubular Rack System. APCO cells contain activated carbon infused with titanium dioxide which reacts with UV-C light to capture and catalyzes odor-causing and potentially toxic VOCs. Proper use of the APCO Rack System can reduce the amount of outside air needed for ventilation according to ASHRAE Standard 62.1.


 

SMALL SYSTEMS

Not all commercial HVAC applications are large. We also make germicidal UV systems for PTACs, Fan Coils, Mini-splits, and smaller air handlers. Our magnet-mounted Tight-Fit Kit is ideal for PTACs and Fan Coils and our Mini UV is designed specifically for Mini-split AC systems. Furnaces and air handlers up to 7.5 tons can benefit from an APCO, AHU Series 1, or Blue-Tube UV system. The APCO Mag System is particularly well-suited for roof-top package units.

We also make Ice UV systems for ice machines of all sizes.

 

Tight-Fit Kit

The PureAire UV Tight-Fit Kit makes it possible to realize all the benefits of germicidal UV light in limited space applications including most of the fan coil units and PTACs found on the market today. The kit provides a means for locating the UV light within these units for optimum UV exposure particularly where space is limited.
