All ALTRU-V products are designed to transform HVAC efficiency, maintenance

and longevity. By applying real science, the relentless cleaning power of UV and

the most affordable products by UVDI, optimal HVAC maintenance solutions can

replace outdated mechanical and chemical cleanings that can be both costly and

dangerous and shorten equipment life. The results are lower operating costs,

safer environments for maintenance personnel and occupants, as well as

documented cleaner air.

ALTRU-V’s

V-Ray™ provides unique electronically controlled energy output (patent

pending) at registers and grills to meet acceptable levels as recommended by the

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American

Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), yet it delivers the

proper amount of energy necessary to control the growth of micro-organisms such

as mold and bacteria.

Easily Installed into hard to access systems delivering continuous
irradiation for improved heat exchange efficiency while reducing
foul odor, drain pain overflows and expensive coil cleanings!

REPR ESENTED BY:

UVC Fixturing – Fixturing consists of a
lamp, lamp clasps, UVC resistant wiring
harness, power supply and power supply
housing.

Lamps – Each lamp contains no more
than 5 milligrams of mercury. Lamp life
is 9000 hours with no more than a 20%
output loss at the end of the lamps life.
Lamps are constructed with UVC resistant
bases and do not produce ozone. When
used for surface irradiation, the lamp
selected will be equal to or no less than
90% of the coil width.

Irradiation – Fixtureless lamps are to be
installed in sufficient quantity and in such
a manner as to provide an equal distribu­tion of UVC energy. When installed, the
UVC energy produced will be of the lowest
possible reflected and shadowed losses.
Note: the applied energy and its distribu­tion shall be verifiable using third
party algorithms.

Intensity – The minimal UVC energy
striking a surface is sufficient to continu­ously destroy a monolayer of mold and
bacteria in less than six hours when at
55–135°F. The third party modeling shall
be available to determine the destruction
time for at least four of the most common
fan coil surface microbes.

Lamp Clasp – Lamp Clasps may be
permanently or magnetically affixed to the
irradiated cavity. They are constructed of
high memory, plated steel for maximum
holding power and corrosion resistance.

Lamp Wire – Is of sufficient length to
facilitate lamp connection to a remotely
located ballast. It includes a grommet to
facilitate safe passage through sheet metal
and into the ballast housing. Lamps are
capable of being mounted anywhere in the
system and/or as shown on the plans.

Power Supply – Power supplies are of
the high efficiency electronic type, matched
to the lamp and designed to optimize UVC
photon production and reliability. They are

UL Listed and labeled for use in air-streams
of 55–135°F. They are capable of pro­ducing the specified output and organism
destruction as listed under Irradiation and
Intensity above at no more than 13 Watts
of power consumption for each square foot
of treated, cross sectional area.

Installation – Fixturing are electrically
terminated to within factory supplied ballast
housings to meet NEC and local codes.
Lamps should be mounted to irradiate the
intended surface(s) as well as all of the
available line of sight airstream by proper
placement and incident angle reflection.

Safety – To protect maintenance
personnel, all access panels and doors
to the UVC assembly and/or within view
of the UVC assembly must include mechan­ical interlock switche(s) to insure that the
UVC assembly will be de-energized when
any of these accesses are opened.

Air Quality Airborne particles, known as

bioaerosols, account for 60–80% of indoor air
quality problems. According to the World Health
Organization, these contaminants account for a
substantial portion of absences from school and
work, and can lead to lower productivity.

The V-Ray has become one of the most cost-effective HVAC maintenance
tools. A typical installation of the

V-Ray pays for itself in short order through
maintenance and energy savings. When installed, the lamps destroy typical
HVAC system contaminants including molds and bacteria (sources of poor IAQ,
allergy triggers, and moldy odor) and restore the system to “near new” perform­ance characteristics. Clean systems can deliver savings through improved heat
exchange efficiency, airflow and long equipment life. The

V-Ray also produces
positive occupant and visitor responses. Among UVC products by ALTRU-V,
V-Ray provides one of the lowest lifecycle costs, while offering lamps with
the highest output retention and lowest mercury content in the industry.

The

V-Ray's design allows for ease of installation in almost any system size from

12" to 64" in width with power requirements from 100Vac to 277Vac.

V-Ray

fixtures can be mounted in any orientation to properly irradiate the target surface.
The

V-Ray can be installed to irradiate coils and drain pans where they degrade
organic and microbial build-up that causes foul odors and clogged pan drains,
causing overflow of water that can cause significant damage to surrounding
material (e.g., ceiling tiles, carpet, etc.). The patent pending system can be
installed using a permanently fixed lamp clip or via a patent pending magnetic
lamp clip design. The

V-Ray components are UL listed and the system is

listed with ETL.

V-Ray products are specifically designed for longevity, occupant safety, installer/
service personnel safety, and reliable operation. UVC energy exposure is an
important issue when designing products for small unit systems. The

V-Ray

product line utilizes UL recognized components and is ETL Listed for specific
use within HVAC units of all shapes and sizes.

V-Ray is manufactured in an
ISO9001:2000 certified plant for guaranteed quality and reliability. Unlike
other cleaning regimens that can expose maintenance personnel and building
occupants to dangerous chemicals or toxic fumes, the

V-Ray offers a passive,

non-chemical approach to continuous HVAC system maintenance.

Small unit systems (SUS) are the perfect breeding ground for mold and
bacteria. Each time the system runs, these contaminants, airborne viruses and
foul odors are circulated throughout the environment. Research has shown that
building occupants exposed to such contaminants can develop health issues,
including sinus congestion and headaches, allergy, asthma, upper respiratory
ailments, along with colds and flu. The V-Ray continuously destroys contami­nants, protecting both occupants and technicians.
