What is the Optimal Distance and Duration for UV Disinfection?
The distance between the UV sterilization lamp and the ceiling should not exceed 1.5 meters, the distance from the ground should not exceed 2.5 meters, and the distance from the object to be disinfected should be maintained at around 1 meter. The effective area should be around 1.5 to 2 meters around, and the usage time is approximately 30 minutes or longer. Here are the steps for using UV disinfection lamps:
Installation and Usage Instructions for UV Disinfection Lamps
1. Install a 30-watt UV disinfection lamp approximately every 10 meters, with a spacing of no more than two meters. A thermometer should also be installed indoors, and caution should be exercised when using the disinfection lamp.
2. When using for air disinfection, doors and windows should be closed, and the disinfection time should not be less than 60 minutes. No personnel should enter the room during disinfection. If entry is necessary, the UV disinfection lamp should be turned off first, especially for unmarried women who should take extra care.
3. When disinfecting items with the lamp, they can be hung up with a spacing of about one meter and exposed to UV light for approximately 30 minutes.
4. The environment must be clean when using the disinfection lamp, with no dust or water mist in the air. The indoor temperature should not be lower than 20 degrees. The floor should be wiped clean and allowed to dry before using the UV lamp for disinfection.
5. The exterior of the lamp tube should be cleaned regularly to remove dust. It is recommended to wipe it with 95% ethanol once a week and keep a record.
6. It is important to know that UV light can be harmful to humans. Precautions should be taken during use, such as avoiding looking directly at the light source, as it can cause eye damage.
