II. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The air conditioning or heat pump coil that is part of your heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is designed
to cool the air passing through it, thus generating comfortable air for your home. During this process, dehumidification also
occurs as water condenses from the air stream onto the cooling coil. This water, referred to as condensate, drains away from
the air conditioning coil into the drain pan and through the drain connection on the side of your furnace/air handler. In some
cases, extended operation of an air conditioning system and the associated moisture on the air conditioning coil can support
the growth of mold and bacteria. The technology incorporated in your Aprilaire UV Germicidal Lamp uses UVC spectrum light
to kill mold and bacteria growing on the coil. This technology has been used for over 60 years to kill microorganisms. Your
lamp will help reduce the risk of allergic reactions and illnesses caused by biological growth on the air conditioning or heat
pump coil, and will eliminate the foul odors associated with such growth on the coil. It's an excellent addition to any indoor air
quality system! In addition, it will protect your air conditioning system from reduced efficiency caused by biological growth on
the air conditioning coil. By eliminating this growth, your air conditioner will run at peak performance and use less energy.
