| Tests conducted by Light
Sources, Inc - Orange, CT and verified by American Ultraviolet Company -
Lebanon, IN revealed the Eclipse UV Cleanser's 36 watt High Output
Germicidal Light produces 800 microwatts @ 1 foot with 534 feet per
minute air flow @ 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
To compute time needed to
sterilize micro-organisms in the following chart at 1 foot distance from
the light, simply divide the dosage required by 800.
Example: for 90%
kill factor of Bacillus subtilis spores:11,600 divided by 800 = 14.5
seconds. |
