The Importance of Proximity and Intensity When Irradiating Pathogens

The Importance of Proximity and Intensity When Irradiating Pathogens

Intensity plays a role in the effective irradiation of airborne contaminants. Due to the size of certain microorganisms they require higher doses of UVC to become inert. The Inverse square law states that light is less effective the farther away from the source. We have designed all our products to maximize the intensity inside the unit by using multiple UVC

Why UVC LED Bulbs are Not Yet a Substitute for Traditional UVC Bulbs

Why UVC LED Bulbs are Not Yet a Substitute for Traditional UVC Bulbs

AIR is focused on providing innovative technology using only the highest-quality materials. UVC LED bulbs have potential to be a substitute for traditional mercury UVC bulbs however, they still have many drawbacks. LED bulbs lack the equivalent intensity of traditional mercury bulbs. This becomes an issue when using them to irradiate pathogens as intensity plays a critical role. Approximately 50

Why is Dwell Time Important?

Why is Dwell Time Important?

Dwell time plays a critical role in the effective irradiation of pathogens. Larger microorganisms require longer exposure to UVC for them to be successfully irradiated. If the Dwell time inside the equipment it too short, pathogens can remain active and cause potential contamination. Air Sniper equipment has been designed to generate proper dwell time using multiple UVGI chambers inside the

Why Air Sniper Equipment Does Not Use HEPA Filters

Why Air Sniper Equipment Does Not Use HEPA Filters

There are many air sanitization units that use HEPA filters. HEPA filters capture pathogens rather than kill them. HEPA filters are not cost-effective as one unit can include multiple filters that require frequent replacement. This is not a practical solution for facilities if there are many units installed within the facility. The removal of dirty HEPA filters from the units

Important Characteristics for Optimal UV Sanitization

Important Characteristics for Optimal UV Sanitization

AIR engineers used their extensive knowledge of UV technology to ensure our products are effective at irradiating pathogens. Reflectivity – UV is not reflective in the same way that light is reflective. This means that UV reflective material is required within the units to ensure irradiation of pathogens. Proximity – To achieve maximum irradiation of pathogens the UV bulbs must
