UV rays
A wide variety of microorganisms in water can cause illness, especially for young and old, who may have weaker immune systems. The UV light provides purification without adding chemicals that can produce harmful by-products and add an off-taste to your water. Additional benefits include ease of installation, low maintenance, and small footprint. UV rays have the ability to inactivate bacteria, viruses and protozoa. Each organism type requires a specific dose of UV for inactivation.
Philips uv lamp benefits
– Security of effective disinfection over the useful lifetime of the lamp.
– High system efficacy because it is not required to over-design the purification system to maintain effectiveness of disinfection.
– Good environmental choice because of lowest amount of mercury.
Features
– Short-wave UV radiation with a peak at 253.7 nm (UVC) for disinfection purposes.
– Protective inside coating ensures almost constant UV output over the complete lifetime of the lamp.
– Special lamp glass filters out the 185 nm ozone-forming radiation.
– Warning sign on lamp indicates that the lamp radiates UVC
– Cap base G5
– 4 watt lenght 15 cm
– 6 watt lenght 22,5 cm
– 11 watt lenght 22,5 cm (G11 T5)
– 16 watt lenght 30 cm
– watt 4 – 6 -11- 16
Application
– Deactivation of bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms in the water
– with well water, reverse osmosis system for residential and industrial use
Which are the factors that can be influnce the right operation of the lam
– The water hardness
– iron
– sediments in the water
For this reason it is necessary…
– water softener to redure the water hardness
– water systems to reduce iron in the water
…and we recommend always the installation of:
– an housing with a reeled polypropylene cartridge before the uv system to protect it
