Ultravation has over 20 years of experience in air disinfection
We created our company specializing in indoor air quality products in 2000. Today, we're improving indoor air with installations in thousands of homes, businesses and institutions.
As the awareness of air treatment technologies has increased, including interest in UV-C light and photocatalytic oxidation as technologies for disinfection, we are pleased to announce that we have had the efficacy of some of our most popular products confirmed by an independent testing lab, to reassure potential customers that Ultravation engineering and effectiveness calculations and measurements are accurate and dependable.
INNOVATIVE BIOANALYSIS, INC.
Independent testing confirms UVPhotoMAX™ efficacy against pathogens
Viral challenge studies were designed by the independent testing firm Innovative Bioanalysis, Inc., of Costa Mesa, California, to determine the efficacy of Ultravation products used for air and surface disinfection. The validation of the results is confirmed through tightly controlled conditions processes, all performed in accordance with industry and ASHRAE recommendations and guidelines.
UV effectiveness in disinfecting the HVAC airstream
Ultravation UV lights virus inactivation:
99.99% within 2-seconds*
Actual live virus (not surrogate) position: 6 inches away from UV lamp.
PCO RESULTS ON REMOTE SURFACES IN OCCUPIED SPACES
UVPhotoMAX PCO air purifier virus inactivation success:
99.99% within 30 minutes*
Actual live virus (not surrogate) position: 82 inches from purifier
Ultravation UVPhotoMAX Air Purifier Independent Testing
Pathogen Reduction
Deliberately tested under extreme conditions
Tested in conditions designed to exceed probable real-world scenarios.
High HVAC Airspeed
Airspeed across the purifier was 75% faster than typical HVAC air travel, resulting in very short UV virus exposure time.
High virus concentration with real—not surrogate—virus
38.3 million individual organisms were concentrated on test sheets, far exceeding the probability of the natural occurrence of the virus on a surface in nature.
Additional UV brings faster reduction of airborne pathogens
Take advantage of the benefits that adding a second UV lamp to the IAQ system brings to freshening the air.
- DOUBLE the exposure time of airborne pathogens with germicidal UV in a second location (in the area of the cooling coil).
- INCREASE HVAC efficiency by UV-sterilizing the cooling coil, preventing bio-growth on its wet surfaces.
- SAVE energy! Optimized cooling coil efficiency reduces the running time of the air conditioner.
- PREVENT HVAC spawned allergens from bio-growth.
Disclaimers:
1) Innovative Bioanalysis, Inc. makes no claims about performance except for the specific unit tested and for the specified experiment parameters.
2) Ultravation IAQ devices are not medical devices and Ultravation makes no claim that they prevent or cure any disease. Ultravation does not claim or suggest this product replaces any other precaution that should be taken against airborne pathogens. All guidelines that the CDC, EPA and other official authorities might recommend should be followed.
