Grote Industries has developed a safe and effective UV-C disinfecting light for HVAC systems on public transportation.
- Helps public transit and bus companies disinfect[1] circulated air to keep people safe
- Installs quickly and easily into HVAC system’s evaporator compartment, safely functioning during normal bus operations to effectively destroy microorganisms as they pass through evaporator
- Utilizes latest generation of highly efficient and reliable LEDs
- Carefully calibrated to deliver powerful, disinfecting UV-C light at exactly the right wavelength
- Resistant to vibration and moisture present in bus’ HVAC system
- Provides a simpler and easier solution compared to mercury-vapor lamps as there are no fragile tubes of hazardous mercury to replace, and no bulky ballast and power inverters needed to function
- Delivers 99.987% bacterial reduction and 99.98% viral reduction after just 30 seconds of exposure[2]
- Continual disinfection of evaporator compartment inhibits mold and biofilm growth on the A/C evaporator fins
- Cleaner internal environment allows HVAC system to function more efficiently, increasing overall airflow and heat transfer capability, thereby conditioning bus air more effectively and requiring less system cleaning and maintenance
