UVC for HVAC applications – Knowhow for treating COV-2

Puravent News and PR from Puravent - Published 18 November 2020 Article giving alternative methods of infection control for a variety or workplace types and sizes
The topical background to using UVC for HVAC systems is that with the onset of cooler weather the widely recommended option of supplying 100 % fresh air ventilation in order to make buildings safe from the COV-2 threat is looking increasingly expensive. That fresh air is going to need a huge amount of heat to maintain some semblance of comfort for the occupants.
Air purification using UVC is another option to make those buildings safe and it does not require heating masses of fresh air.

The applications for UVC air purification fall into a number of groups. There are many applications in buildings that do not have any form of mechanical ventilation, which in the scheme of things are older buildings, and smaller buildings, possibly containing offices and meeting rooms of various types. This is the easiest fix. For these type of applications we generally supply stand alone air purifiers.

In the absence of a centralised ventilation system complete with air handling units, some buildings have ceiling void space which lends itself to a localised ventilation system either to bring in air from outside or to recirculate air from the room with air purification before return to the room.
