Steril-Aire

Although there are other methods of keeping HVAC systems operating at peak performance, they carry some serious downsides. Vapors from coil cleaning agents can contribute to poor air quality, and mechanical cleaning can reduce component life. Learn how UVC for HVAC extends equipment life. https://lnkd.in/d4DcQAay

Cheers to all the workers out there! Wishing you a happy and restful Labor Day, where you can take a break from your hard work and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation. In observance of the holiday, our offices will be closed and will reopen on Tuesday, September 3, 2024. 

Faced with a double-digit utility rate hike, hospital administrators at a McAllen, Texas Hospital searched for ways to save on A/C energy costs without compromising air quality or patient comfort. Seventeen of the hospital’s AHUs (ranging from 20 to 80 tons) were over nine years old, and its four 465-ton chillers were running at 99% capacity. After installing Steril-Aire UVC fixtures, the delta between coil water temperature entering and exiting one AHU increased by 11 degrees, indicating the coil became more efficient at removing heat from supply air. This type of gain in heat-transfer efficiency helped drive a 20% decrease in electrical usage. In fact, the increase in HVAC performance allowed engineers to move two of the hospital’s four chillers offline, where they now serve in a backup capacity. The two remaining chillers currently operate at 80% capacity, helping to account for upwards of $500,000 in annual energy savings. In all, 41 AHUs were retrofitted with Steril-Aire high-output UVC, generating a 10-month ROI. https://lnkd.in/guyt9wD5

Using the 253.7nm wavelength, Steril-Aire UVC Emitters: 1) do not create ozone and 2) yield the optimum germicidal effects to inactivate bacteria, mold and viruses. In fact, Steril-Aire UVC for HVAC products degrade the O3 molecule into safer inert gas.

Five units down, five to go! It's always exciting to visit a project site and see the progress being made, especially when it will inevitably help children. Thanks to Connecticut Children's, DPR Construction and F+F Mechanical for the opportunity.

Steril-Aire UVC Emitters extend the life of your HVAC systems and air handling units, reduce energy costs and water use while improving indoor air quality (IAQ). https://lnkd.in/gqrqZKbj

UVC provides a highly effective method of destroying or inactivating harmful microorganisms and pathogens that proliferate in HVAC systems. Decades of scientific and anecdotal evidence document the effectiveness of high-output UVC in HVAC systems to remove biofilm growth and reduce airborne pathogens. https://lnkd.in/gHj-F4nr

According to researchers, UVC for HVAC® systems improves cooling capacity and reduces energy use, while significantly “enhancing coil energy performance.”  C'mon, save some HVAC energy! https://lnkd.in/gfvmdvsm

Mount Ascutney Hospital and Health Center in Vermont used Steril-Aire UVC for HVAC (r) to reduce mold, bacteria & viruses in HVAC systems and reduce the spread of infections. Steril-Aire UVC systems were designed to ensure a minimum initial energy intensity of 1225μW/cm2 across the entire coil with correctly sized, properly spaced UVC emitters. They also provide sufficient dosage to reduce airborne pathogens.  See the transformation here https://lnkd.in/gkpDmNkQ
