Fresh-Aire UV has introduced the Fresh-Aire UV Mini UV CE, an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) light system that’s now Certified Europe (CE) compliant and features an advanced power supply with a lifetime warranty.
The Mini UV CE’s active power supply with a digital filtering process accommodates every mini-split heat pump brand including all inverter models rated for the Code of Federal Regulation’s (CFR) 14 SEER or greater. Its CE compliance makes it marketable internationally and ready for Europe’s growing mini-split market.
The patented Mini UV CE also offers several enhancements versus the original Mini UV introduced in 2012 and winner of the 2013 AHR Innovation Award for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The new advanced active power supply design more than doubles the UV lamp life to a two-year effective service life.
The Mini UV CE’s miniaturized components, consisting of two, 9-inch-long by 3/8-inch-deep UV lamps and a 6-inch-wide by 1.5-inch-high by 1-inch-deep, 120 or 208-230-VAC active power supply, fit inside all ductless A/C brands, including the tightest compact mini-split spaces in both commercial and residential applications.
The Mini UV CE inhibits mold and other biological growth on blower and evaporator coil surfaces and sterilizes germs, viruses, allergens and other pathogens that can flourish in HVAC systems from condensation moisture and be distributed throughout a building. UV-C lights also save energy and reduce maintenance costs because surface areas free of biological growth promote heat transfer and operate more efficiently.
The estimated 45-minute installation time for new and retrofit applications requires dropping the condensate pan to gain access to interior surface areas. The Mini UV CE includes industrial-grade adhesive clips for mounting the two lamps inside any ductless unit. The power supply is small enough to fit inside most ductless system line set areas. The prewired clips of the power lead and lamp cables snap into the power supply.
The Mini UV CE’s other features are:
- 98-percent effectiveness in reducing microbial growth
- bi-annual UV lamp can be replaced within minutes
The Mini UV CE is sold through North American and international wholesale HVAC distributors. For more information on the Mini UV CE or other Fresh-Aire UV products, please visit the website, call (800)741-1195 or email [email protected].
