Bactericidal irradiator this device is designed for disinfection of air and surfaces by direct ultraviolet rays of bactericidal effect (with a wavelength of 253.7 nm). Exposure to ultraviolet rays kills (inactivates) viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, yeast, spores and other infectious microorganisms.
Bactericidal irradiators are commonly referred "bactericidal lamps" because these types of lamps are used in irradiators.
Irradiators are widely used in medicine. Recently, they have also become popular for household applications (apartments, houses, etc.). Based on this, the irradiators can be divided into 2 types of use: medical and domestic. Medical irradiators are mainly fixed. They are fixed on the wall or ceiling. There are also mobile medical irradiators on wheels. Household irradiators, on the contrary, are designed for mobile operation. They can be transferred from room to room, thereby disinfecting one device all the rooms in the house in turn.
Safety measures
when the bactericidal irradiator is switched on, it is recommended to use special glasses to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation. During the operation of the irradiator, people and animals need to leave the treated area. It is also necessary to take out of the room all the houseplants. The irradiator is absolutely impossible to watch and try him under the sun. This can cause burns to the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes. After operation of the bactericidal irradiator may be the presence of ozone odor. In large quantities ozone is toxic to humans and requires ventilation of the room. Excessive ozone enrichment of air depends on the type of ultraviolet radiation source (lamp) used in the irradiator. The lamps can be used both ozone and non-ozone. But it should be understood that non-ozone bactericidal lamps also contribute to the formation of ozone. In this case, the amount of ozone is permissible for humans, and after such lamps can not ventilate the room. After the operation of ozone lamps — ventilation is a must!
