MVHR UV Filters

[Dave Jones]

What sort of filtration is possible with these systems, I see some of our AC units at work have built in UV scrubbers. Is this possible with MVHR ?

[hb1982]

if the filter is out of air stream (min. pressure drop) and the air velocity within the chamber can be achieved (to meet the UV filter spec), there is no reason not.

 

The question is why you want a UV filter in your MVHR?

 

We, human being, should be exposed to some degree of germs/bacteria/virus in air and water to maintain our immune system. super clean air and water is going to do more harm than good in the long term unless you have other medical reason.

My MVHR sucks air to outside and heat exchanges it heat into the fresh incoming air stream so cannot se a reason to have a uv thingy.

 

further uv will add trace amounts of harmful ozone
