UV Light: Mechanism and its Applications

Cleaning and sanitizing by exposure to sunlight were predominant even centuries ago. The germicidal properties of sunlight were evidently proved, and ever since they have been employed in various kinds of sanitizing activities. Its high frequency kills microorganisms, such as bacteria, wrecking them at a cellular stage, rendering them unable to multiply and reproduce, making them useful in the process of decontamination. Studies about UV light confirm that it would come after violet on the spectrum, giving it the name ultraviolet light. UV light is classified into three wavelengths: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-Whereas C light have the highest frequency in the wavelength; it is commonly used in the process of eliminating bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. The sunlight emits all three types of UV light naturally. But eventually, as the rays reach the earth, rays with the frequency UV-A and UV-B pass along through the atmosphere, and on the other hand, UV-C, which is of the highest frequency, is filtered off. Although UV-C light has the ability to kill microorganisms, it also has an adverse effect on human life and its cells as well. As a result, as a natural arrangement, it does not pass through the atmosphere.

Owing to its sanitizing capabilities, UV light is artificially produced using a UV lamp, so it can be put to different uses, like sterilizing and sanitizing. The mechanism of producing artificial UV light takes place inside a bulb made of quartz instead of glass, in which an inert gas is combined with mercury, wherein electricity reacts with the mercury and the lamp produces UV light, which can be controlled by suitable means and applied to different usages accordingly. A UV lamp helps to sterilize the coils in the air-conditioning equipment, which has evidently been proven to improve indoor air quality. Techtimia manufactures UV lamps that can be placed inside the air-conditioning units and also be retrofitted. Professional HVAC technicians at Techtimia help to install UV lamps in your HVAC equipment and at other places that are vulnerable to bacterial attacks. For various reasons, the effectiveness of germ-killing becomes reduced. At Techtimia, the replacement of UV lamps in the equipment or outside is carried out with care and technical skills.

Techtimia is responsible for the installation, maintenance, and servicing of products and associated fixtures in accordance with government regulations. When a UV lamp is only declared as a common electronic product, no specific FDA performance criteria apply. However, UV lamps intended for medical purposes, in accordance with medical purposes and advisory, such as disinfecting other medical devices or irradiating a part of the human body, and so on, must have FDA clearance, approval, and relevant authorization to market and use. Techtimia also deals in UV lamps, emitting short pulses of broad-spectrum light, specifically to emit UV rays that are employed in hospital environments to treat external façades, specifically in operating theatres and other similar spaces, but they are employed while there is no human occupancy.

Techtimia has expertise in servicing and repairing self-contained cold rooms in which the refrigeration system is a comprehensive set-up
