ABOUT THE PRODUCT
HOW IT WORKS
When a bio-lm (a coating of microbial growth) covers a coil, it acts as an adhesive, attracting dirt and coating the ns of the coil.
This results in an odor emanating from the equipment and a loss in energy efciency as the equipment must work harder to provide
the same air temperature. Installed on the air conditioning’s evaporator coil, the AUV24V keeps the system running at top efciency,
saving you electricity, and preventing the coil from becoming a source of bad air quality and bad odor.
The UVC (254 nm) wavelengths produced by AprilAire UV units and systems are the same as the ultraviolets produced by the Sun. The
UVC attacks the micro-organisms on a molecular level deactivating the contaminants. Unlike conventional UVC Lamps on the market,
AprilAire UV units and systems use a process designed to deliver the maximum UV dosage to the moving airstream or surface.
CAUTION: Never expose eyes or skin to an operating UVC Lamp.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND KIT
• Step Down Transformer (AC) to convert a regular outlet (120
VAC) to 24 VAC if the necessary power (20VA minimum) is
not available from your HVAC System: 120 VAC to 24 VAC
