Amalgam UVC lamps
Amalgam UVC lamps with Heraeus Longlife Technology offer disinfection performance which is virtually constant over the lamp operating life.
Description
Amalgam UVC lamps provide up to ten times the UV power density of conventional low-pressure mercury lamps and can even be used at high ambient temperatures of up to 90°C.
Moreover, amalgam lamps are not affected by temperature fluctuations.
Unique Longlife Technology coating
The unique coating prevents the discoloration and transmission losstypical with conventional UV lamps and keeps UVC output at a continuously high level.
While the UV output of an uncoated UV lamp drops to 50% after 8,000 hours of operation, amalgam lamps with Longlife Technology coating provide up to 90% of the UVC output even after 16,000 hours of operation (see diagram).
The result is a virtually constant disinfection capability over the entire life of the lamp along with significant savings inenergy , maintenance and consummable parts costs.
