UV Lights Prevent Contamination in Cannabis grow facility owners and managers take painstaking measures to maintain their growing areas free of mold, mildew, fungus, and other biological contaminants.

The APCO® air treatment system,  manufactured by Fresh-Aire UV®, has received an Environmental Claim Validation to UL 2998, an environmental claim validation procedure from UL Environment confirming the ultraviolet/photocatalytic oxidation (UV/PCO) indoor air purification product emits zero ozone.

Despite being recognized for significantly improving airflow and heat-transfer efficiency levels and lowering the costs associated with HVACR systems, ultraviolet light in the 253.7-nm germicidal C-band wavelength (UV-C) is often misunderstood and, therefore, under-utilized by HVACR contractors, mechanical engineers, and end users.

Since the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive was passed more than 10 years ago by the European Union (with many countries passing their own versions of the law), IAQ in data centers has become a major issue.

As data centers evolve, so do the comfort systems that protect these facilities’ vital infrastructure. One common solution lies in air handlers, which come in many configurations, shapes, and sizes.

UV-C and air-purification are crucial technologies when it comes to eliminating odors, molds, bacterias, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Besides improving air quality, the hidden value of UV-C is its ability to improve airflow, boost heat exchange efficiency, and reduce maintenance needs. It accomplishes this veritable HVAC hat trick at an average equipment cost of less than 15 cents per cfm.
