® UV-AIRE Air Purification System The Whole House Solution Field Controls offers a complete line of UV-Aire products for any home or business, with a variety of duct-mounted UV-Aire models designed for forced-air heating and cooling systems. UV-Aire germicidal lamps continuously attack airborne mold, bacteria and viruses as they circulate through your ductwork. For homes and businesses without a forced-air system, Field Controls manufactures two portable models.
® UV-AIRE Air Purification System Indoor Air: High Concentrations of Biological Contaminants With tighter building construction in recent years, the quality of indoor air has declined dramatically. The air circulating in the ductwork of the average home or office can be concentrated with contaminants including molds, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites. We fill our lungs up to 20,000 times each day.
® UV-AIRE Air Purification System Facts About Indoor Air • According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air in homes can be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air.1 • The National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine reports that exposure to indoor pollutants is a key contributor to the asthma problems of this nation.2 • Health effects may show up immediately, or after years of exposure to poor indoor air quality.
® UV-AIRE Air Purification System How The In-duct UV-Aire Works UV-Aire uses the energy from a specially designed, high-intensity UV-C lamp to reduce microorganisms in the entire home as they cycle through the HVAC system. Mounted inside the ductwork, the UV-Aire sterilizes or kills most contaminants as they pass the lamp. Ultraviolet Treatment Zone Coils and filters are breeding grounds for mold and bacteria. Installing the system here significantly reduces indoor air contaminants and new growth.

® UV-AIRE Air Purification System Independent Lab Testing For many years, ultraviolet light has proven effective in sterilizing medical equipment, purifying water, and processing food. Currently, the use of UV lights is gaining industry acceptance in HVAC applications. Microbe Management, Inc., a testing agency in Greenville, NC, has conducted three separate tests to examine UV’s effect on indoor air quality.
® UV-AIRE Air Purification System Single Pass Test: UV Deadly for Airborne Microbes This study introduced a common bacterium into a galvanized air duct equipped with a UV light to determine how effective the lamp would be in reducing the bacteria with one exposure, or a “single pass.” The tests were conducted at two speeds: 1125 cfm and 2250 cfm in an 18” x 18” duct.
® UV-AIRE Air Purification System Correlating The Lab Test With Other Bacteria UV Energy Required To Kill Bacteria Most, if not all bacteria can be destroyed by the use of UV light. The main factors in disinfection are the amount of UV power the lamp produces and the length of time the bacteria is exposed to the UV light source. The energy required to kill microorganisms is a product of the UV light’s intensity and exposure time. This energy is measured in microwatt seconds per square centimeter.
® UV-AIRE Air Purification System Installation 1. Insert the unit downstream from an A-coil in the supply plenum or downstream from the air filter in the return plenum. Mount base on duct Return Air Plenum using the enclosed Supply Air Plenum mounting screws. 2. Insert lamp through hole. Place bracket over end of tube and tighten wing nut. 3. Replace cover on unit and tighten side screw.
