A complete range of UV-C coil cleaning solutions provides proven and reliable performance for both commercial and industrial HVAC applications, whether in retrofit or new construction projects. These systems are designed to maintain coil cleanliness, promote healthier indoor air quality, and optimize system performance, making them essential for efficient, long-lasting HVAC operation.
The use of UV-C energy in coil cleaning ensures a healthy air supply by destroying bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms that thrive on the moist surfaces of coils and drain pans. This process prevents the “blow-off” of contaminants into the air supply, ensuring that the air passing through the system remains clean and uncontaminated. As a result, the airflow is not only cleaner but also cooled more effectively, supporting a healthier indoor environment.
In addition to improving air quality, UV-C coil disinfection contributes to better comfort by preventing the formation of biofilm on coil fins. When coils are free from microbial buildup, they maintain efficient heat transfer, which enhances both temperature and humidity control. This ensures more consistent comfort levels throughout the building.
From an operational standpoint, maintaining a coil free of microbial growth leads to significant energy savings. A clean coil operates more efficiently, allowing for maximum heat exchange and reduced system strain. In some systems, this can translate to energy consumption reductions of up to 15%. Furthermore, the use of UV-C energy significantly reduces the need for manual coil cleaning, cutting down on maintenance costs and system downtime. Continuous UV exposure keeps coils clean automatically, eliminating the expense and disruption associated with traditional cleaning methods.
Typically installed downstream of the evaporator coil, UV coil systems continuously destroy bacteria, mold, and organic buildup that collect on cooling coils and surrounding components. This not only maintains a healthy air supply and improves temperature and humidity regulation but also delivers measurable energy savings and reduces maintenance requirements.
Among the available product options, the V-MAX™ Grid Coil Cleaning System is designed for medium-to-large air handling unit installations. Its scalable, flexible design accommodates any plenum size, with lamps that easily mount on vertical supports. The ballast can also be conveniently mounted within the support strut, simplifying installation. The system offers negligible pressure drop and low power consumption with universal voltage compatibility. V-MAX Grid systems are available with 21”, 33”, 48”, and 61” lamps, featuring both 90° booted and straight connector options with extended lamp leads for versatile configuration.
The V-MAX™ Coil Cleaning System is engineered for in-duct use, where lamps are mounted parallel to the airstream for optimal UV exposure. This design promotes efficient disinfection within ductwork while maintaining low power consumption. With prewired lamp connections to minimize installation time and universal voltage compatibility, V-MAX Coil systems are available in the same range of lamp sizes as the Grid version, offering flexibility for a variety of HVAC setups.
For smaller air handling units or compact spaces, the V-RAY® Coil Cleaning System provides a light commercial solution that delivers high UV energy levels to neutralize mold, bacteria, and viruses in tight spaces. Its versatile mounting options allow installation in any orientation without the need for complex racking systems. The ballast can easily be mounted on a vertical strut to reduce installation costs, and like other models, it features negligible pressure drop, low power consumption, and universal voltage operation. V-RAY systems are available in 21”, 33”, and 61” lamp sizes.
The V-MOD® Coil Cleaning System takes a modular approach, featuring a patented plug-in connection between fixtures to simplify installation and reduce field wiring. This flexible “plug-n-play” design makes it suitable for both existing and new HVAC equipment, offering proven UV-C effectiveness in a compact form factor. V-MOD reduces operating costs by lowering both energy use and maintenance demands, while also replacing potentially hazardous chemical or manual cleaning methods. Its adaptability allows it to be installed in tight or limited-access systems, ensuring consistent performance without compromising safety or efficiency.
Together, these UV-C coil cleaning systems represent a comprehensive solution for maintaining clean, efficient, and hygienic HVAC systems. By integrating advanced ultraviolet disinfection technology, they deliver cleaner air, enhanced comfort, improved energy performance, and reduced operational costs across a wide range of building environments.
