- How does it work
How the new Cyclo UV systems work:
- They emit UVC ultraviolet light (254 nm) whose radiation helps reduce microorganisms.
- They produce UVV light radiation (185 nm) which helps break down chemical volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odours.
- They use a process that delivers a maximum dose of UV to the moving air stream, thus helping reduce foul-smelling contaminants, which is not the case with conventional UV lamps on the market.
What is ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light is part of the light spectrum which is classified into three wavelength ranges:
- UV-C, from 100 nanometers (nm) to 280 nm
- UV-B, from 280 nm to 315 nm
- UV-A, from 315 nm to 400 nm
What is germicidal ultraviolet?
UV-C light is germicidal – i.e., it helps reduce bacteria, virus and other pathogens.
Unlike many UVA air purifiers on the market, Cyclo UV air purifiers work with UVC light.
