UV Lamps

Germicidal ultraviolet lamps emit radiant energy in 253.7nm (C-Band ultraviolet or UVC) wavelength. The UVC energy photo-chemically reacts with the DNA and RNA of microorganisms - viruses, bacteria, mold and spores - sterilizing them. Germicidal UV lamps have an effective life of approximately 8,000 - 12,000 hours continuous use. American Air & Water, Inc. offers a 1 year pro-rated warranty on all germicidal UV lamps.

The lamp will continue to emit blue light well after 12,000 hours, however their germicidal output deteriorates rapidly after that. For maximum germicidal effectiveness American Air & Water strongly recommends annual lamp replacement.

Note: UV lamps contain mercury therefore must be properly disposed of as a hazardous waste in accordance with local, state and federal regulations or the lamps should be recycled. Please dispose of the used UV lamps properly or send them to American Air & Water and we will collect and send the lamps to a lamp recycling facility.

High Output Germicidal UV Lamps

The GML High Output germicidal UV lamps are specially designed to produce the highest amounts of UV radiation - above 90% of the total rated energy is at 253.7nm. This is the most lethal wavelength to microorganisms (see graph).

GML HO germicidal lamps are used extensively in air and surface purification applications in the food processing and beverage industries as well as medical and laboratory sterilization applications.

These lamps are specifically designed for air and surface irradiation in HVAC systems. They are an ideal choice for mounting close to the coil and drain pan areas to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew in these areas.
