UV GI is a disinfection method that uses UVC light to eliminate or inactivate micro-organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, moulds and other pathogens. UVC is a type of ultraviolet that delivers the most effective wavelengths for germicidal control. It can be used to prevent the spread of certain infectious diseases.
Room air is circulated and disinfected through the air sterilisation system using built-in UVC LED in the ducted fan coil. UVC LEDs are installed in a specific angle to ensure optimal air treatment, and are specially designed with enhancing reflector for more concentrated UVC Light to achieve better disinfection effect.
What is the UV GI accessory?
The UV GI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation) accessory provides a UVC solution for Daikin ducted units. The specially designed plenum houses UVC tubes, which irradiate the air stream and deactivate pathogens*. The accessory can be attached to a Daikin ducted unit in new installations or as a retrofit.
The plenums have been designed to be attached to Daikin slim and standard ducted units on the supply air side for Split and VRV systems. The plenums are provided as separate accessories and can be fitted to the duct; ductwork is then attached to the spigots. Access hatches on the top and bottom of the box allow the UVC tubes to be added or changed as required.
What is UVC? And what is its impact on pathogens?
Daikin has collaborated with the UK distributor of US-manufactured UVC tubes; e-co. Working together, using each other’s expertise, Daikin and e-co have created a UVC solution that can be safely and effectively added to a DX system.
UVC operates in the 200 NM wavelength. Irradiation with UVC disrupts pathogen cell structures, rendering them harmless*. Direct exposure to UVC can cause reddening of the skin and eye damage. However, the UVC tubes are fully enclosed within the accessory structure, offering a completely safe and reliable solution.
*Specific claims regarding the effectiveness of UVC and its ability to deactivate pathogens are made solely by Sterile Air (through its UK distributor e-co), and not verified or endorsed by Daikin UK.
