Santa Clarita, Calif. — Jan. 26, 2015 — UV Resources, a leader in ultraviolet-C equipment for HVACR systems, recently unveiled a new website and sizing app, designed to streamline the selection of ultraviolet irradiation devices.
• New website: The revamped website offers educational resources, including the ability to download free white papers and dozens of published technical articles.
Visitors can open a “My UVR” account, instantly gaining access to the company’s training library that includes installation guides, product specifications, and an upcoming training module. A new educational blog will offer technical discussions and answers, about UV-C energy and its many applications.
“UV-C is a simple technology; however, many engineers, contractors and facility professionals are perplexed about how UV-C works and how to apply it cost effectively,” said Dan Jones, president of UV Resources, based in Santa Clarita, Calif. “We’ve improved our website’s navigation and content and have added several new interactive features to make sure that contractors, specifying engineers, and users quickly get the accurate information they need most.”
• New sizing app: In addition to the new site, the company is also launching a free downloadable app designed to help anyone properly size and source fixtures for UV-C applications.
The easy-to-use UV Select sizing app (available for both Android and IOS systems) uses project specific measurements to generate UV-C fixturing recommendations that best comply with ASHRAE guidelines for Ultraviolet Surface Treatment.
Just simply input the height and width of an air handler’s coil and plenum and the UV Resources UV Select App calculates the appropriate requirements and cost. In its 2011 ASHRAE Handbook, Applications, Chapter 60.8, ASHRAE Technical Committee, TC2.9, established minimum irradiation levels and, according to Jones, this app generates a product selection that ensures the project complies properly with ASHRAE's guidelines.
“Traditionally, how to properly size HVAC UV-C systems has been a mystery to many contractors, facility engineers, and end users. However, this app offers a simple and quantitative approach to system sizing,” Jones said. “UV Resources personnel were among the first to develop modern HVAC sizing and performance software for UV-C applications, so it’s only natural that we’re the industry’s first to develop a convenient mobile sizing app."
An added feature in the UV Select App is the ability to request a quote for most any replacement UV-C lamp by simply inputting information about the lamp and pressing a button. The new app makes sourcing replacement lamps at the industry’s lowest prices easier than ever.
UV Resources (UVR) is a leader in the education, design, and innovative engineering of affordable ultraviolet-C (UV-C) equipment for a variety of commercial, healthcare, government, and residential HVACR applications. In addition to developing new and unique UV products for specific applications, UVR team members were among the first to develop modern sizing and efficacy software for air conveyance systems.
