Science behind UV C
The C wavelength of the UV spectrum (UVC – 253.7nm) targets the DNA of microorganisms, destroying their cells and making replication impossible.
Directed at a cooling coil or drain pan, UVC energy destroys surface biofilm, a gluey matrix of microorganisms that grows in the presence of moisture. This Biofilm being a very poor conductor of heat inhibits the cooling efficiency of the HVAC coil thereby affecting the performance of the HVAC unit.
