HVAC maintenance
UVC germicidal light kills mold on coil surfaces, leaving them clean and maintenance-free
Steril-Aire, Inc.
While serving as senior construction project manager at a K-12 school district in Los Angeles County, Kenneth Gilleland, PE, needed to find a way to reduce HVAC operational and maintenance costs. It took about six hours per air handler to perform annual coil cleaning, plus the cost of cleaning chemicals required for the job and the foot wear-and-tear on the roof membrane. In addition, many of the HVAC systems operated at Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) values of 7 to 10.
By installing UVC Emitters from Steril-Aire, Inc. in the rooftop and split systems, the district found an effective way to address this challenge.
“UVC germicidal light kills mold and organic buildup on the evaporator coil surfaces, while maintaining or returning the coils to constantly clean condition,” says Gilleland. “The UVC devices are virtually maintenance-free, except for the annual light tube changeout recommended by the manufacturer. This takes only a few minutes per air handler — much faster than chemical washing — potentially saving thousands of hours in labor that can be applied to other tasks. In addition, maintenance crews are no longer exposed to harmful cleaning chemicals.”
