Over 20 years of experience in air and water disinfection
Ultravation has been designing and manufacturing UV and toher indoor environment products sine 2000, with installations in thousands of homes, businesses and institutions accross the country and beyond.
When SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19 struck, we were prepared with products that would help reduce the risks. As the awareness of air treatment technologies has increased, including interest in UV-C light as a technology for disinfection, we are pleased to announce that we have had the efficacy of some of our most popular products against SARS-CoV-2 confirmed by an independent testing lab, to reassure existing and potential customers that Ultravation engineering calculations and performance measurements are accurate and dependable.

Independent testing confirms germicidal ultraviolet (UVC) efficacy against SARS-CoV-2
Viral challenge studies were designed by the independent testing firm Innovative Bioanalysis, Inc. of Costa Mesa, California, to determine the efficacy of Ultravation products used for air and surface sterilization for use against coronaviruses, specifically SARS-CoV-2. The validation of the results is confirmed through tightly controlled conditions processes, all performed in accordance with industry and ASHRAE recommendations and guidelines.
HVAC system and ductwork
SARS-CoV-2 virus UV inactivation:
99.99% within 2-seconds*
Actual live virus (not surrogate) position: 6 inches from UV lamp
SURFACES IN LIVING SPACES
SARS-CoV-2 virus PCO inactivation:
99.99% within 30 minutes*
Actual live virus (not surrogate) position: 82 inches from purifier
Deliberately tested under extreme conditions
Tested in conditions designed to exceed probable real-world scenarios.
High HVAC Airspeed
Airspeed across the purifier was 75% faster than typical HVAC air travel, resulting in very short UV virus exposure time.
High virus concentration with real—not surrogate—SARS-CoV-2
38.3 million individual SARS-CoV-2 viruses were concentrated on test sheets, far exceeding the probability of the natural occurrence of the virus on a surface in nature.
Additional UV brings faster reduction of airborne pathogens
Take advantage of the benefits that adding a second UV lamp to the IAQ system brings to freshening the air.
- DOUBLE the exposure time of airborne pathogens with germicidal UV in a second location (in the area of the cooling coil).
- INCREASE HVAC efficiency by UV-sterilizing the cooling coil, preventing bio-growth on its wet surfaces.
- SAVE energy! Optimized cooling coil efficiency reduces the running time of the air conditioner.
- PREVENT HVAC spawned allergens from bio-growth.
