Synergy Environmental on the ASHRAE Changes

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - Feb. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- New ASHRAE Handbook Features Chapter on Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation- July 14, 2011
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recently released the 2011 ASHRAE Handbook – HVAC Applications. This important reference book has over 60 chapters addressing a broad range of HVAC applications, including the latest technologies available for HVAC&R engineers.

The 2011 edition includes a new chapter titled “Ultraviolet Air and Surface Treatment” that has received much attention in the HVAC&R community. The chapter covers topics from HVAC system surface treatments to studies on airstream disinfection and room surface treatments. Grady Dagnan, Synergy Environmental’s President, was excited to learn about this new change.

The new chapter provides ASHRAE guidance for recommended levels of UV intensity appropriate for air and surface disinfection applications. According to the handbook, “UVGI can be applied to HVAC systems to complement conventional system maintenance procedures.” It goes on to discuss the benefits of low UVC irradiance applied to cooling coils and drain pans resulting in a highly cost effective method of preventing mold and bacteria growth on system components.

As a leading designer of Ultra-Violet disinfection systems, Synergy Environmental has been on the forefront of promoting the benefits of properly designed and engineered Photo-Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) and UVGI systems. “I am pleased to have contributed to this important new Technology,” reported Grady Dagnan from Synergy Environmental. “The new PCO technology provides many benefits including reduced energy consumption in HVAC systems, improved indoor air quality (IAQ), lower maintenance costs, elimination of environmentally unfriendly cleaning chemicals and improved efficiency and life of the systems,” he continued.
