Bactericidal irradiators are equipment for disinfecting air and surfaces with ultraviolet radiation. Models of different power, structural type, and cost are produced, so you can buy bactericidal irradiators for personal needs and for installation in public places.

Design and purpose of bactericidal irradiators

A bactericidal irradiator is an electrical device with an open case into which one or more bactericidal lamps are installed. Also, the design of the irradiator may include:

• a reflector that directs radiation in a certain direction; the start-up device, which adapts the parameters of the current in the network, ensures the gas discharge lamp turns on and works;
• fasteners for stationary installation or stand, platform with wheels;
• power cord;
• protective screen, blinds that cover the lamp.

Lamps serve as a source of ultraviolet radiation with antimicrobial activity. As a result of irradiation, disease-causing bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms that are suspended in the air, as well as settled on furniture, equipment and other surfaces, die. The use of bactericidal irradiators allows limiting the spread of infectious diseases, primarily those transmitted by airborne droplets.

Bactericidal irradiators are designed for repeated short-term operation. UV radiation with bactericidal activity has a negative effect on the skin and eyes. If the lamp is not shielded, processing should be carried out in the absence of people and animals for 15-30 minutes. The effect of irradiation lasts for several hours, so the treatment is repeated several times during the day.

Types of bactericidal irradiators

Bactericidal irradiators are classified as:

• according to the installation method - stationary and mobile;
• according to the presence or absence of a protective screen - open, closed, combined.

Stationary models are divided into wall (surface-mounted) and ceiling (suspended) models. Surface mounting, as a rule, allows you to mount the bactericidal irradiator both on the wall and on the ceiling. Mobile bactericidal irradiators are also divided into 2 groups, desktop and mobile. The first are lighter and more compact in size, which allows you to carry them in your hands and install them on any horizontal surface. The others are equipped with wheels for ease of movement and are mainly intended for floor installation.

As a rule, bactericidal irradiators have an open structure, but some models are equipped with radiation shielding devices. If you install a screen or close the blinds, the irradiator can be used in the presence of people. The screen does not prevent the disinfection of the entire volume of air in the room, since convection of air masses occurs, but an increase in processing time is required. Closed irradiators are not suitable for disinfecting surfaces. In bactericidal irradiators of the combined type, part of the lamps is permanently closed by a screen, part is constantly open, and these groups of lamps are turned on separately. Due to this design, the bactericidal irradiator can be used for quick disinfection in the absence of people and for a long time in their presence.

How to choose a bactericidal irradiator

The price of a bactericidal irradiator depends on the design features, dimensions, number and power of lamps, housing material, and equipment. The larger the treatment area and the higher the requirements for the level of bactericidal safety, the more intense the irradiation should be. The performance of the device depends on the number of lamps, as well as the power and size of each.

If it is possible to equip each room with a separate irradiator, stationary models are suitable. It is worth buying a mobile bactericidal irradiator if you need to use one device for alternate treatment of several rooms. For small areas or premises with a low risk of spreading infection (house, office), desktop irradiators are enough. For rooms of large and medium volume, larger and more productive mobile models with an increased number of lamps are needed.

Buying a bactericidal irradiator with an open lamp makes sense for rooms in which people are not present around the clock, with breaks. For objects, the mode of operation of which does not allow frequent enough breaks for processing, the output will be closed and combined bactericidal irradiators.
