sanuvox 101 A short lesson in UV
Any bacteria can be destroyed with UV-C light
the question is how to do it?

Designed to be installed in the Return Plenum, as
the airflow passes through the R3500X's aluminum
reflective tube, the patented process destroys
the contaminants that would otherwise been
distributed throughout the ventilation
system. The High Efficiency UV-C / UV-V air
purifier destroys chemical biological
contaminants including chemical odors.
R3500X

• - Irradiates bacteria, viruses and mold
• - Destroys chemical biological odors
• - High Efficiency UV-C / UV-V air purifier
• - 10,959 microwatts per/cm² of UV intensity
  inside reflector tube
• - Airflow sensor automatically turns unit on and
  off
• - Most effective UV air purification system on
  the market
• - Patented Sanuvox process
• - In-Duct installation, for whole home
  purification
• - Purifies up to 3,500 square feet
• - 3 year warranty on parts including UV Lamp
• 3 year warranty on replacement lamps

Two Factors in achieving a high bacteria kill are

• The INTENSITY of the UV source and
• The greater the INTENSITY the greater the kill.
• The length of TIME the bacteria is exposed to the
  UV light
• The more TIME the bacteria is
  suspended in front of the UV light, the higher
  the UV dosage it receives,
• the greater the kill.

Intensity

• The R3500X achieves a high intensity through
  the use of Reflection.
• The same way a flashlight or car's headlight
  uses a reflector to intensify and direct light.
  The
• Sanuvox UV air purifier uses an aluminum
  reflector tube to intensify the UV energy.

How powerful would a flashlight be without a
reflector?

Dwell Time

• How does Sanuvox slow the bacteria down so it
  can receive the UV dosage needed to kill it?
• The turbulator slows, twists and mixes the air
  around the lamp, dramatically increasing the time
  
• the contaminants are suspended in front of the
  lamp.
• That's what Sanuvox does. It slows down the air
  so the contaminant can be burned by the UV
• energy. The more time in front of the lamp, the
  higher the UV dosage the contaminant receives,
• and the higher the kill.

Very similar to putting your hand over a candle.
If you were to quickly move your hand through the
flame, you would barely feel the heat. Should
you move your hand slowly through the flame, you
would surely be burned.
The more time in front of the UV energy, the
higher the kill.

Dwell Time

• Finally, to increase the dwell time (the time
  the contaminant is in contact with the UV
  energy), the
• purifier is mounted parallel to the air-stream,
  not perpendicular, maximizing the time the
  contaminant
• is in contact with the UV lamp.
• If properly delivered, UV irradiation can be a
  very efficient method for air purification. The
  use of the
• turbulator, aluminum reflector tube,
• J Lamp and placing the unit parallel to
• the air-stream are the tools needed to
• maximize the UV energy.

The air spends 2400 MORE TIME in Contact with
the UV energy than does a probe (free standing)
purifier.
Parallel Increased Dwell Time
Perpendicular a fraction of Dwell
Time

The Two Inch Rule
There is a big difference between the UV that can
be seen and effective UV. Although UV light can
shine for a great distance, that light has
virtually NO germicidal effect on moving air.
Only the UV within a couple of inches of the lamp
is effective in treating moving air. The rest is
lost within the duct.
The two inch rule only applies to air
purification (treating moving air). When treating
moving air, there is only a fraction of time to
treat the contaminant in the air-stream. Thats
why an air purifier needs an intense amount of UV
energy. In contrast, the two inch rule does not
apply to object purification (purifying a
stationary object). The object is not moving
therefore the need to deliver such high amounts
of UV within a fraction of a second is no longer
needed. The UV energy can shine on the object
indefinitely.
Light from our Sun can be seen here on Earth,
but not nearly as powerful as it is in space.

Efficiencies Testing

• The Sanuvox R3500X in-duct UV air purifier will
  purify a portion of the air moving within the
  duct at any given time.
• The air within our homes continually circulates
  through the ventilation system every minute of
• every hour of every day.
• Sanuvox R3500X relies on that re-circulation to
  bring the overall level of
• contaminants down.
• After an hour or two of having the purifier
  installed, the home will have circulated the air
  
• through the purifier enough times as to bring
  the homes overall contamination down
• drastically.

• For a typical application, the in-duct
• purifier will destroy the contaminants
• quicker then they can be introduced
• into the environment.
• The R3500X treats the air with 10,959
• microwatts per/cm² of UV intensity
• inside the Aluminum Reflector Tube
• over a distance of 12.
