2. Device description

2.1 Overall design

The mini UV laboratory dryer consists of a lamp unit

(Fig. 2) and a transport unit. The following

section describes the transport system and the

lamp unit.

2.1.1 Transport system

The electrical control system and operating

elements are located in the transport system. By

pressing a switch, the power of the UV lamp can be

reduced from 100% to approx. 50%. Iron-doped

lamps can only be operated under full load.

The supply connections are located on the rear side

of the device. Fans are used for sufficient cooling of

the electrical components and UV bulb.

The transport speed can be set from 1 - 10 m/min

(according to the table) by turning the

potentiometer in the front plate. It is recommended

to check the speed using an appropriate measuring

instrument.

Figure 1.

Transport system with lamp unit

2.1.2 Lamp unit

A UV bulb with a power of max. 140 W/cm is used

as radiation source. The lamp unit is provided with

integrated excess temperature protection which

switches the system off in case of insufficient lamp

cooling.

Figure 2.

Lamp unit

Upon delivery, the UV bulb is not mounted.

Before using the dryer for the first time, the

bulb must be built in according to the

mounting instructions indicated in this

operating manual.

It is recommended to dismount the bulb

before transporting or storing the UV dryer.

2.2 Application

The UV curing system is exclusively designed for

curing of suitable, UV-sensitive materials such as

colors, paints, adhesives and casting compounds.

The use for other drying processes such

as drying of solvent containing materials

is not allowed. Risk of explosion in case of

high solvent concentration!

U S E R G U I D E |U V C - 5 C O N V E Y O R 8

3. Safety instructions

The mini UV laboratory dryer BE 7 complies with

the state of the art and recognized safety rules.

Nevertheless, it may give rise to risks.

Danger: High voltage!

The UV bulb is operated with an ignition voltage of

approx. 2800 V - 4500 V. Always press the main

switch to disconnect the device from the electrical

system and pull the plug before carrying out any

work on the system, especially before replacing the

UV bulbs! Danger to life! After switching off, wait for

approx. 3 minutes to let the capacitors discharge!

Safety information!

Use the mini UV laboratory dryer only if it is in

perfect condition and observe the operating

manual.

3.1 UV radiation

3.1.1 Indirect effect of the UV radiation,

generation of ozone

Ozone is generated by UV radiation with a

wavelength of less than approx. 200 nm as

a consequence of the dissociation of

molecular oxygen. Ozone in a specific

concentration is a toxic gas. Ozone can

damage the mucous membranes.

Concentrations of 0,1 to 0,2 ppm for several

hours can cause headache, pains in the

chest and dryness and irritation of the upper

respiratory tract.

Therefore, make sure that the ozone-

containing air is extracted and guided to the

outside. The ozone rapidly dissociates into

oxygen.

3.1.2 Effect of UV radiation on the skin

Everybody knows the effect of an acute

overdose in form of a sunburn which

normally remains an unpleasant memory.

Along with intensity of radiation, the

spectrum is very important for damage.

Spectra of the UV bulbs

Most of the UV bulbs used emit approx. 30% UV

radiation, 15% visible light and 55% infrared (heat).

The UV radiation is emitted in different spectra. The

UV radiation of the UV bulbs can be classified in:

UV-A (315-400 nm), UV-B (280-315 nm), UV-C

(100-280 nm). The percentage of each wavelength

range depends on the doping of the UV bulb and is

indicated in the respective data sheet.

Figure 3.

Skin Incision

Different spectra have different effects on the skin

UV-A

•Direct pigmentation

•Damages the collagens in the skin

•Increased risk of melanoma due to

formation of free radicals

•Low risk of erythema (sunburn)

UV-B

•Indirect pigmentation

•Strong erythema effect (= high risk

of sunburn)

•Formation of anti-rachitic

cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)

UV-C

•Very deep penetration into the skin

•Sunburn caused by UV-C abates

the next day (=no long-term

damages due to sunburn and its

consequences)

9 U S E R G U I D E |U V C - 5 C O N V E Y O R

3.1.3 Effect of the UV radiation on the

eye

Long-wave UV radiation is absorbed

almost exclusively by the lens body. A part

of it can get into and affect the posterior

eye chamber. Short-wave UV radiation is

absorbed by the cornea. Overexposure of

the conjunctiva and cornea causes

inflammation of the conjunctiva and

cornea.

The transitions and penetration depths are fluid. For

a more precise determination, the degree of

transmission of the individual parts of the eye must

be specified based on the wavelength. Besides, the

permeability of the eye depends on the age. At a

young age, the anterior part of the eye is more

permeable for optical radiation than at an older age.

For further information on the dangers to the eye

caused by optical radiation, we recommend the

report of the employer's liability insurance

association "Risk of damage to the eyes", edition

07/2002.

3.1.4 Protective measures

In general, protective measures against UV

radiation are not difficult to take since this

is a "non-volatile noxious agent" obeying

the simple laws of physics regarding

diffusion. The so-called indirect risks of

short-wave UV radiation resulting from the

generation of ozone can easily be reduced

by placing an exhauster near the radiation

source.

The general protective measures include:

•Marking of locations where especially powerful

lamps of the UV-C range are installed.

•Careful check for metallic objects with a smooth

surface in the radiation area which can generate

direct and wide-ranging reflections (cover or

paint them).

•Use of light-proof protective housings which can

only be removed or opened using a tool and

which are equipped with interlock switches.

•Loading doors for materials or similar openings

easy to open where radiation can escape should

be equipped with interlock switches.

The employees should be informed about

the installed UV radiation sources and

protective measures. We recommend

reading the publication series of the

German Federal Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health "Protection against

ultraviolet radiation" (ISBN 3-88314-352-9).

3.2 Mercury

UV bulbs contain a small quantity of mercury. If they

are damaged, mercury vapors may escape and

come in contact with skin.

Leave the room and air it thoroughly.

Afterwards, remove the mercury residuals

using a binding agent and dispose of it. We

recommend using the UV safety set from

the manufacturer.

Hazard description

In all stages of service life, electrical hazards may

occur which endanger the entire staff of the system

operator and service personnel. In case of a short

circuit in the device, the electric arc may provoke a

fire/an explosion. In case of fault (e.g. insufficient

cooling), the lamps or the housing may become

overheated. The hot surface may lead to an ignition

/ explosion of the ambient air.

Protection aim

Avoiding the fire and explosion hazard.

Protective measures

Only regular maintenance work can prevent the

components from burning.

When electrical / electronical components are used,

there can always be a short circuit igniting the

component.

Regular maintenance can minimize the risk but

cannot eliminate the risk completely.

Residual risk

Only regular maintenance work can prevent the

components from burning. Protective measures

against fire and explosion hazards in connection

with the IR radiation and vapors are explained in

detail in the operating manual and in the calculation

and are not looked at closely in this document.

4. Installation of the system

The device must only be commissioned

and operated by qualified persons.

Qualified personnel within the scope of

safety-related instructions are persons

who are allowed to install, ground and

mark devices, systems and electric circuits

according to the safety standards.

Due to high voltage required for the operation of

lamps, the covers of the ballast and the hood of the

dryer must not be opened by unauthorized persons.

Wear UV safety goggles when performing any

measuring and inspection work.

To avoid overheating of components, first, switch off

only the lamps at the end of the workday.

Figure 5.

Rear side UVC-5

The power supply cable (230 V/50 Hz) is located on

the rear side of the mini laboratory dryer. Before

The lamp unit of the mini UV laboratory dryer can

be mechanically adjusted by means of screws. For

safety reasons, the height should only be adjusted if

the device is off. Using suitable protective devices,

the surrounding area is protected against UV

radiation to the greatest possible extent. Due to the

design, UV radiation is emitted at the inlet and

outlet. Avoid unnecessary light emission by

positioning the height adjustment to the lowest

possible position. Take appropriate protective

measures to protect the device environment against

UV radiation (e.g. protective curtain, cover, etc.).

Make sure that the supply air and exhaust air

U S E R G U I D E |U V C - 5 C O N V E Y O R 12

openings are not covered. The lamp case can be

dismounted in order to facilitate lamp replacement.
