Why ASHRAE Standard 185.2 is Important to the Success of Germicidal Ultraviolet Projects ✓ Most Recent

UV devices have been incorporated into HVAC systems as part of decarbonization efforts and to maintain coil efficiency. They are also in ASHRAE Standard 241-2023, Control of Infectious Aerosols. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 185.2-2020, Method of Testing Ultraviolet Lamps for Use in HVAC&R Units or Air Ducts to Inactivate Microorganisms on Irradiated Surfaces, is a test method designed specifically to determine UV device performance when under HVAC-induced windchill conditions based on temperature, humidity and airflow.
