UVC lamp - for IVAR.SL, SLI 600 - L=675mm IVAR.UVC

Product detailed description

This UVC lamp is specifically designed for integration into IVAR.SL and SLI 600 fancoils. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial ventilation systems where microbial contamination in air streams or on heat exchanger surfaces is a concern. Installers working on HVAC systems in buildings such as schools, offices, hospitals or industrial facilities will encounter these units in applications requiring enhanced air quality and reduced biological growth. The system operates continuously during fancoil operation, ensuring ongoing disinfection without the need for frequent chemical cleaning.

The device is typically installed in the air ducting near the heat exchanger, ensuring maximum exposure of the air stream and surfaces to UVC radiation. It is suitable for both new installations and retrofitting to existing fancoils, provided the unit model matches the required specifications. The lamp is intended for use in controlled environments where access is restricted to trained personnel, due to the potential hazards of UVC radiation.

Brand	IVAR

Installation and connection

Install the UVC lamp in the designated mounting position within the fancoil housing, ensuring that the lamp is aligned with the airflow path and positioned to irradiate the heat exchanger surfaces. Secure the lamp using the provided fixing points to prevent vibration-induced loosening. Connect the electrical supply according to the manufacturer’s wiring diagram, ensuring all connections are made in a de-energised state and protected against accidental contact. Verify that the fancoil housing is fully closed after installation to prevent UVC exposure to personnel. Common installation errors include incorrect alignment of the lamp, which reduces coverage, and failure to secure electrical connections properly, risking short circuits or fire hazards.

Compatibility and accessories

This UVC lamp is compatible with IVAR.SL and SLI 600 fancoils. No additional accessories are typically required for standard installation, though it is important to ensure that the fancoil model is correctly identified to avoid misapplication. No related products are listed for this item.

Technical background for designers

The lamp emits UVC radiation at a wavelength of 253.7 nm, which is effective at disrupting the DNA and RNA of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and spores. The device is constructed using durable materials resistant to thermal and mechanical stress. Integration into the system requires consideration of the lamp’s positioning relative to airflow patterns and heat exchanger geometry. The efficiency of the lamp depends on consistent exposure time and intensity, which are influenced by the fan speed and air volume. Long-term performance can be affected by dust accumulation on the lamp surface or heat exchanger fouling, which may reduce irradiation effectiveness.

Service and operation

Routine inspection should include checking the lamp’s physical condition for cracks or discoloration, verifying electrical connections for signs of wear or overheating, and ensuring that the housing remains sealed to prevent UVC leakage. Replace the lamp if it shows signs of reduced output or physical damage. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief.

Frequently asked questions

Can the UVC lamp be retrofitted to existing IVAR.SL or SLI 600 fancoils?
Yes, the lamp can be installed on already commissioned fancoils, provided the model and dimensions match the original specification.

Does the lamp require any additional power supply?
The lamp is connected to the fancoil’s electrical system and does not require a separate power source.

What types of microorganisms are affected by the UVC radiation?
The lamp inactivates bacteria, fungi, spores and other microorganisms present in the air stream or on heat exchanger surfaces.

Is the UVC lamp automatically activated with the fancoil?
Yes, the lamp operates when the fancoil is in use, ensuring continuous disinfection during operation.
