closed-loop ground source geothermal system that covers the facility’s entire heating and cooling needs, in place of a traditional
central HVAC system.
The use of the geothermal
heat pumps
give MCH much better
zoned control
while also saving energy.
Installing Steril-
Aire UVC Emitters in
the heat pump units
serving the patient
rooms provides an
added cost savings
benefit, in both maintenance costs and energy
consumption. As the UVC continuously
cleans the coil and drain pan surfaces of
biofilm buildup, it helps reduce and even
eliminate the need for costly manual cleaning
and keeps the units in ‘as-new’ condition
so they run more efficiently.
Steril-Aire Inc. offers a range of products
for healthcare applications including UVC
Emitters designed for installation in HVAC
systems where they destroy microorganisms
including flu viruses, bacteria and
biofilm/mold. The devices come in a
range of sizes and configurations to fit
all types of air handlers, large and
small. For example, Steril-Aire singleended
(SE Series) UVC Emitters install
from the exterior of HVAC equipment,
providing high output germicidal
protection for systems that are
limited in space or difficult to access.
Applications include heat pumps, fan

coils, unit ventilators, terminal units
