Product Feature: Coil Clean Models

One of the most popular portions of our product line is the Coil Clean Division.  The HVAC industry has often referred to these systems as 'Stick Lights' based on their simple design of an illuminated lamp that faces  the air conditioning coil to bathe it in purifying germicidal light to prevent growth of mold, mildew and other contaminants on the coil surfaces and deep within their fins.  These devices help A/C systems last longer, run cleaner, and reduce maintenance of the evaporator coil.

These systems have traditionally been sold in the high humidity locations in the US that, when combined with high temperatures require almost constant operation of air conditioning systems.  These units are designed for easy installation into air handlers of any manufacturer and orientation.  Recently, these Coil Clean models have also been migrating to be used in supply plenums of full ducted systems, where the 24V ballast can be easily connected to the accessory terminals on the control panel for power.  To support this demand and to offer choice, Second Wind Air Purifier has created variations of the standard design to offer homeowners options to address their different wants and needs.

New for 2013 was to provide all of our Coil Clean models equipped with rare earth magnets for easy installation.  With lamp lengths of 12 and 14 inches, Singlet Oxygen lamps and Photo-Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) odor control brackets customers can choose which of the seven different Coil Cleaning and Air Purifying systems are best for their personal needs.  The chart and photos can help you see which unit is best for you.

Coil maintenance is essential to keep your air handler properly operating and most efficient.  Even a microscopic layer of mold on evaporator coils can dramatically affect the performance of the system.  A poorly operating air handler costs more to operate, and will require more expensive maintenance later as the system is over-taxed.  The build up on these coils can come from dirt, dust, dander, shedded skin (did you know that each person loses one pound of skin each year? Gross!) and mold, among other contaminants.  Properly maintaining your filter media and changing your UVC lamp(s) on a regular basis will keep your unit running at its most efficient state.  Check with your HVAC service technician, you may even save on the use of chemicals for coil cleaning by installing a Second Wind Air Purifier.

I found this link when preparing this blog and it is testimonials from those that have serviced their own coils.  This information is here only to help educate the reader on why the coil should be cleaned, my political affiliations are not represented by the linked site.  Why Clean Evaporator Coil?
