Background This product study evaluates the effectiveness of the UV-Aire air purifier in reducing the levels of bacteria with a single pass through a simulated air duct system. This device is designed to irradiate the air as it circulates through the home, so the single pass evaluation is the worst-case scenario use of this device. The air in the home will pass through the heating and air conditioning system many times a day, as the air is circulated throughout the home. Knowing the effe

ORGANISM APPLICATOR: An atomizing humidifier spray nozzle mounted at the center of the test duct intake was used to distribute the organism into the air stream. The application flow rate was 0.45 gallons per hour. UV DEVICE: A Field Controls UV-Aire air purifier model UV-18 was mounted onto the center of the side of the test duct 6 feet from the exit end of the chamber. The lamp is a UVC germicidal lamp (non ozone producing) 18 inches long with a UV output rating of 73 2 μW/cm

Testing Procedure The testing was performed in two stages. The first stage operated the test chamber with the lamp off. (See table 1) This developed the control data or the base line bacterial levels for the comparison. The second stage operated the test chamber with the lamp on. (See table 2) Two airflow rates were used to evaluate the lamp effectiveness based on exposure time. Airflow velocities through the ducts of a typical residential heating and cooling system range from 300 t
