This Air Purifying Germicidal UVC Lamp is designed to destroy 99.8% of all known bacteria, germs, mould, fungi and viruses including corona viruses.
It uses an interesting combination of a Philips UVC lamp combined with an air purification fan system. The device draws air into it aided by a quiet fan and the UV-C light sterilizes the air in the room.
It uses the Ultra-Violet ray wavelength of 253.7nm which can kill or destroy the DNA of viruses’ and remove pollutants.
The device can work in 2 different modes depending on if the room is occupied or not.
Using In an Unoccupied Room: Open Lid Mode
This mode is designed for maximum speed air purification. The lid on the device remains fully open and UVC light and disinfection is maximised *.
How long does it take to clean a 35m2 room (3m floor to ceiling) in Open Mode?
In this mode it can disinfect a room in just 1 hour and 10 mins.
If the device is placed at a height of 2.1m, it can clean ~ 1.5m3 of air per minute disinfecting 107 m3 of air in 71 minutes).
Using In an Occupied Room: Closed Lid Mode
This mode is designed for use with people in the room and ensures protection from any UVC light. The lid on the device remains closed to reduce any UV light.
A small fan then draws air through the closed lid, then natural air convection helps sterilize the room.
How long does it take to clean a 35m2 room in Closed Mode?
If the device is in closed position it allows air in and out through small holes and a small fan draws ~ 0.16 m3 of air into the box every minute. It can dissipate 107 m3 of air in 11 hours meaning its perfect to be left on overnight for cleaning and disinfection.
How powerful is the lamp?
