UV-C light is the name for a certain spectrum of the (invisible) light. UV-C light is formed by the light in the range between 200 and 280 nm. This light is very much suitable for the so-called UV-C disinfection and is everything that is being done to terminate microorganisms with the help of UV-C energy.
UV-C lamps are especially produced for these purposes. Mostly we use mercury to generate the specific UV-C radiation. The lamps are coated specifically in order to burn a minimum of 8,000 hours and retain 80% of the initial UV-C energy. After 8,000 burning hours it is recommended to replace the lamps.
UV-C disinfection is applied to water, air and surfaces. Benefit of the UV-C application is that no chemicals need to be added to the air or water and the composition of the air or water does not alter. Moreover, the system is very economic compared with many other disinfecting methods. It goes without saying that UV-C disinfection is a very environmental-friendly and safe technique.
