How does Blue Tube UV Light Technology disinfect?
UV technology combines the sterilization and oxidation power into a unified filter. As organic contaminants come into view of the ultraviolet light source, the UV light waves penetrate the membrane and nucleus of microorganisms. The UV light then breaks apart the molecular bonds of the DNA of the microorganism killing the microbe or inhibiting its’ ability to reproduce. The amount of UV exposure needed to accomplish this varies from microbe to microbe. Spores, and some environmental bacteria, such as mold and mildew, tend to be resistant and can survive much longer exposures than some viruses and other organic contaminants such as odors. top of page Question: How does Blue Tube UV Light work in Central Air Handlers Answer: There are two schools of thought on the use of UV Light for control of environmental contaminants in a central air handling system. They are: air-stream disinfection and surface disinfection. Air-Stream disinfection entails targeting the UV Light in the air-stream at
