Despite being recognized for significantly improving airflow and heat-transfer efficiency levels and lowering the costs associated with HVACR systems, ultraviolet light in the 253.7-nm germicidal C-band wavelength (UV-C) is often misunderstood and, therefore, under-utilized by HVACR contractors, mechanical engineers, and end users.
To help clear up common misconceptions and improve your understanding of how UV lamps operate, I’ve outlined these UV myths and facts.
