Field Controls UV500C UV-Aire® Portable Ultra-Violet Air Purifier (for rooms up to 500 square feet)
Quick Product Overview
The UV-500C provides concentrated UV power in bedrooms, living rooms, offices... where it's needed most. These portable models utilize a high efficiency fan with multi-speed control to circulate and treat indoor air. The UV-500C is recommended for rooms up to 500 square feet. Enhance your UV protection by combining the concentrated power of the UV-Aire portable units with one of the Field Controls UV-Aire in-duct models. The combined use of portable and in-duct models is an extremely effective whole-house solution.
With tighter building construction in recent years, the quality of indoor air has declined dramatically. The air circulating in the ductwork of the average home or office can be concentrated with contaminants including molds, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites. We fill our lungs up to 20,000 times each day. Over time, these contaminants can cause inflammation of the mucous membranes, upper respiratory problems, asthmatic conditions, headaches, and flu-like symptoms.
Filtering systems offer little or no help because these airborne contaminants either pass through the filter or simply collect on the filter medium, creating a breeding ground. Now, with the UV-Aire® Air Purifying System, a solution is available to directly address the problems associated with poor indoor air quality.
Filter Systems Alone Don't Solve the Problem
The majority of indoor air is conditioned by forced-air heating and cooling (HVAC) systems. Standard fiber air filters are entirely ineffective in trapping germs, as most particles are simply too small, passing through the porous filter. New, high efficiency style filters will only capture airborne bacteria down to a certain size. These high efficiency filters are nominally effective, trapping small airborne contaminants on the filter, creating a breeding ground where germs can continue to grow and multiply.
HVAC systems are a dark and damp breeding ground for mold and bacteria, particularly at the system filter and air conditioning A-coil. The buildup of matter on the A-coil and filter can significantly reduce the efficiency of the appliance by constricting and reducing air flow. This means increased cost to the homeowner in addition to the risk of airborne pollutants.
The Solution is Air Purification with Ultra-Violet Light
UV-Aire uses the energy from a specially designed, high-intensity UV-C lamp to reduce microorganisms in the entire home as they cycle through the HVAC system. The UV-Aire sterilizes or kills most contaminants as they pass the lamp. The process requires very little maintenance and costs just pennies a day to operate. The UV-Aire could be one of the best health and comfort investments a homeowner ever makes.
