Do I Need Commercial UV Light for my Business?

Reduce Energy Usage and Extend the Life Of HVAC Equipment

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) provides many benefits for buildings. All Time Air Conditioning’s UVGA systems minimize biological contaminants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air, leading to better indoor air quality. They also lower maintenance requirements and save energy, making them a smart investment for businesses in a variety of industries, including hospitality, retail, medical, industrial, and corporate businesses.

Disinfecting Air Handler Cooling Coils

Air handlers in commercial spaces are prone to a problem known as biological fouling. This issue usually arises as a result of mold. The excess moisture inside of systems like these provides the perfect conditions for mold to grow. Surprisingly, hvac systems can experience a reduction in efficiency of 37% from just a 0.002-inch biofilm. Traditional methods for cleaning and eliminating mold are costly and require a lot of work. They also rely on harsh chemicals, which pose a risk to both the workers using them and the surrounding environment.

UVGI, on the other hand, provides continuous sterilization of cooling coils. It works around-the-clock in a way that is safe, efficient, and affordable. The Tubular Rack System, Rack System, and Standard “L” System from All Time Air Conditioning all prevent the biological fouling of the coils. By reducing energy usage and minimizing maintenance requirements, an investment in these tools can quickly be recouped.

Commercial air systems that are on the smaller side (up to 7.5 tons) can opt for any of the AHU Series 1 products for disinfecting their coils.

Reducing VOCs And Odors

In commercial spaces, medical facilities, offices, or places where animals are cared for, unwanted odors are prevalent. Along with creating nasty odors, VOCs are sometimes toxic. Indoor air pollutants like acetone, formaldehyde, and toluene can pose a health danger for anyone who spends significant time in the space.

All Time Air Conditioning ‘s technology, which was initially designed to be used with duct-mounted whole house air purifiers, has been modified so that it can be used in larger commercial air handlers through the use of the Rack System. This unique technology, which has won awards, combines activated carbon, titanium dioxide, and UV-C light to neutralize and adsorb the molecules of volatile organic compounds as the air makes its way through the air handler. This technology does not produce ozone. Smaller HVAC systems can often get by with an system that is mounted in the ducts.

VOC molecules are trapped and held by carbon cells. Here, they are neutralized through a process known as photocatalytic oxidization (PCO). The reaction that occurs cleans the cells, as well, meaning that they usually won’t ever have to be replaced.

Disinfecting Airborne Pathogens

When it comes to health, airborne infectious diseases are some of the most significant dangers associated with HVAC systems. At clinics, yoga studios, eldercare facilities, hospitals, and similar businesses, airborne pathogens can easily be spread through the building via the HVAC system. This poses a severe health risk for the clientele, which could be a significant liability for the owners of these facilities.

Luckily, All Time Air Conditioning has a way to solve this problem. Our airborne disinfection system kills pathogens in the air around-the-clock using unique high-output UV-C lamps.

UVGI can also be used to sterilize surfaces in rooms. Medical facilities, such as veterinary clinics and hospitals, as well as facilities that process food, can use treatments like these to reduce the spread of biological pathogens. All Time Air Conditioning ‘s Environmental Surface Disinfection System (ESDS) is ideal for disinfecting surfaces in areas where organic contaminants are present or where biohazards need to be carefully controlled.

Effectiveness Against Coronavirus(SARS-CoV-19)

When it comes to influenza, swine flu, bird flu, or the new novel coronavirus. UV Light has shown to be very effective in losening the DNA bonds in these viruses causing them to fall apart all while causing no harm to people or pets. There is growing data to support the usage of UV light to fight the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne viruses. If you would like to prevent the spread of viruses between your employees at your business than you need to be sure your air is being purified all the time not just some of the time.
