TUV T5 lamps are single- or double-ended UVC (germicidal) lamps used in professional water and air disinfection units. The small 16 mm diameter of the lamp allows for a small system design and design flexibility. TUV T5 lamps offer constant UV output over their complete lifetime, for maximum security of disinfection and high system efficacy.
Benefits
Security of effective disinfection over the useful lifetime of the lamp
High system efficacy because it is not required to over-design the purification system to maintain effectiveness of disinfection
Good environmental choice because of lowest amount of mercury
Features
Short-wave UV radiation with a peak at 253.7 nm (UVC) for disinfection
Small diameter
Protective inside coating ensures almost constant UV output over the complete lifetime of the lamp
Lamp glass filters out the 185 nm ozone-forming radiation
High temperature and UV-resistant lamp bases
High Output versions available for optimum UVC output per lamp length, allowing for further reduction of system size
Warning sign on lamp indicates that the lamp radiates UVC
Applications
Deactivation of bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms, Air treatment systems, Industrial water disinfection equipment, e.g. for food & beverage industry, Small municipal water treatment systems, Swimming pool units, Residential drinking water units
