The current crisis of coronavirus and confinement has made us wonder what our life will be like when “normality” finally returns. The places we used to frequent, such as bars, restaurants, hairdresser’s or gyms must be sterilized to avoid possible outbreaks.
We have reached a point where regular cleaning is not enough, and there can always be corners that are difficult to reach that may become the ideal breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.
In this situation, the UV lamps are our allies in helping us to reopen our businesses without endangering our customers and ourselves.
These germicidal lamps emit UV-C rays that eliminate up to 99.9% of the viruses and bacteria found in the air and on surfaces in a short period of time.
Could this UV-C disinfect the surfaces of my home or area where I work?
Indeed, it can disinfect these surfaces, deactivating the virus through the radiant energy emitted by the ultraviolet light. UV-C radiation has been used for more than 40 years as a germicidal to disinfect the inside of buildings; to eliminate the surface bacteria in health centres, hospitals, and where food is prepared; to purify water.
After the arrival of Covid-19, we have applied this technology to control contamination in our homes and work area.
But how many germicidal lamps do I need for my business?
We must first consider that UV-C lamps disinfect everything that is bathed in their light; that is, if the surface is hidden or shaded it will not be sterilized. Although this may seem to be a problem for businesses with difficult to reach corners, it is something that is easily solved; it would simply be necessary to place different types of lamps in strategic locations.
Secondly, we must consider the dimensions of the room to be sterilized. Depending on the model, we can offer UV lamps to suit areas ranging from 6 to 40m²; a lamp with a smaller range is perfect for places that are difficult to access.
The large number of models and range makes it very easy to find the exact number of UVC lamps that guarantee sterilization.
A detailed assessment and evaluation of the room dimensions and shaded spaces is vital to achieve maximum disinfection efficiency against Covid-19 and future pandemics.
