UVC Germicidal Lamps Validated for Two- Year Performance

Lebanon, IN, March 22, 2007-

American Ultraviolet Company is proud to announce their low-pressure standard, and high output quartz, UVC Germicidal Lamps have been tested and validated to effectively perform for 17,000 hours (two years), when operated on high frequency electronic ballasts from American Ultraviolet Company (including the company’s Sapphire™, CC, CC-R, DC, TB, and Mobile Room Disinfection Series units).

This significant improvement in lamp life performance allows our customers to operate their HVAC fixtures for two years between lamp replacements. Therefore, our customers’ annual maintenance cost for replacement lamps, and the labor to change them out, is virtually cut in half.

UVC Germicidal Lamps from American Ultraviolet Company provide safe, direct exposure to 254nm UVC radiation, which, when given appropriate exposure time, inactivates the DNA and RNA of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, mold spores, yeast and protozoa), making them unable to reproduce. The resulting benefits include increased HVAC operating efficiency, longer blower life and improved air quality.

Since 1960, American Ultraviolet Company has manufactured quality ultraviolet equipment for the disinfection of air, liquids and surfaces throughout the world - wherever a clean and sterile environment is required. American Ultraviolet Company is headquartered in Lebanon, Indiana, and all equipment is manufactured entirely in the USA. Offices are also located in Shelton, Connecticut; Bernardsville, New Jersey; Cary, North Carolina; Kannapolis, North Carolina, Beaufort, South Carolina, Andover, Minnesota and Torrance, California.
