1. How does ultraviolet light sterilize?
The principle of ultraviolet sterilization
is to use ultraviolet photons with a wavelength of 100-400nm to irradiate
microorganisms and various bacterial viruses to destroy the structure of DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the body, causing them to
die immediately or lose their ability to reproduce.
2. What are the applications of ultraviolet
sterilization?
Ultraviolet sterilization technology is
used in water, air, surface treatment, and many other industries, including UV
curing. Application markets include Wastewater Recovery, Sewage Treatment,
Water Reclamation, Municipal & Drinking Water, Semiconductor Ultrapure
Water, Aquarium, Swimming Pool & Spa, Food & Beverage, Life Sciences,
Healthcare, Food Processing, HVAC, Agriculture, Commercial Kitchen, waste gas
treatment.
3. Why is ultraviolet radiation used in
sterilization?
Green:
UV radiation does not require the use of chemicals
to effectively protect the environment; toxic chemicals require specialized
storage and handling, do not use such chemicals, and do not need to be
concerned about excessive consumption and the resulting by-products.
Economic benefits:
Projects require less start-up capital and
lower operating costs.
Efficient production:
UV radiation can treat objects directly
without the need for storage tanks, long-term storage, or exposure.
High compatibility:
UV radiation is highly compatible with
other water and air treatment equipment and does not cause changes in taste,
odor, pH, conductivity, or chemical properties.
4. How can UVC lamps be used for air
sterilization?
At present, there are two methods for air
sterilization. One method is to directly irradiate the surface of the object
with UVC lamps for sterilization; Clean air after killing. Such as air
conditioning sterilization.
5. What are the advantages of UVC for air
sterilization?
Ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 254nm
can effectively kill all kinds of influenza, viruses, bacteria, and other
harmful microorganisms. It is recognized as a non-toxic, no harmful residue,
and low-cost efficient sterilization method.
6. Can UVC ultraviolet rays kill the new
coronavirus COVID-19?
The new coronavirus is a single-helix RNA
(ribonucleic acid) virus. 254nm ultraviolet photons irradiate the new
coronavirus, which can destroy its RNA structure and cause it to die
immediately. Research shows that UVC irradiation can kill 99.99% of the new
coronavirus.
7. Why is it so important to sterilize air
conditioning and fresh air systems?
A large amount of dust and water vapor has
accumulated in the air-conditioning system and ventilation ducts, which are
breeding grounds for various viruses and bacteria. These bacteria and viruses
are spread in different rooms through the flow of air, causing a huge and
uncontrollable infectious disease pandemic, which has been confirmed by many
bloody lessons. By adding a UVC ultraviolet sterilization system to the fresh
air and air conditioning system (HVAC), bacteria and viruses can be effectively
killed, and the unique photolysis effect of UVC wave light can be used to
remove odors in the air.
8. How are UVC lamps used for water
treatment?
The working principle of the ultraviolet
sterilization system is to irradiate the flowing water with ultraviolet rays.
Placing the UVC germicidal lamp in the cavity can sterilize within 1 second. UV
radiation in the 254nm band at a dose of 30 mj/cm2 is sufficient to kill most
aquatic microorganisms.
9. Are UVC rays harmful to the human body?
When the human body is irradiated by UVC
exceeding a high intensity and time, it will cause harm to the human body.
Long-distance short-term exposure will not cause harm to the human body. Strong
UVC radiation can cause skin burns and eye discomfort. It is, therefore,
necessary to avoid prolonged and high-intensity UV irradiation.
