UV DISINFECTION
The Apricus Tempermate can be to be supplied complete with UV disinfection. UV disinfection is an
efficient, low cost and environmentally friendly process. UV light kills pathogenic micro-organisms
quickly without leaving any residues, harmful by-products or affecting the smell or taste of the
water.
These units use UV lamps which emit UVC radiation at 254nm which disrupts the DNA in the micro-
organisms, so they are either killed or their ability to replicate is destroyed. The kill rate depends on
the UV dose received by the micro-organisms, i.e. the time that a micro-organism is exposed to a
certain intensity of UV radiation (Wm2). A UV dose of 400 J/m2, (40 mJ/cm2) is recognized
internationally as suitable dose requirement to ensure safe disinfection.
The sizing of the UV system has been based on the above UV dose at the maximum nominal flow
rates of the Warm Water System as indicated under the ‘Hydraulic Characteristics’ section. The UV
model S80-100 is provided with the 1 or 2 valve systems, and the UV model S160-100 is provided
with the 3 or 4 valve systems.
EXTRA FEATURES INCLUDED
Volt free contacts for remote system status indication
Lamp fail alarm; alerts user and prevents untreated water from being consumed
Industrial IP rated outdoor power boxes with hour run time
For further information on the UV system, please refer to the separate
Installation and Operation Manual provided with the system.
UV SYSTEM BYPASS LINE
A by-pass line should plumbed prior to the isolating valve at the inlet of the UV unit and after the
isolating valve at the outlet of the UV unit to enable a continuous warm water supply whilst servicing
the UV unit. It is recommended to install a lockable ball valve or remove the handle from the by-pass
isolating valve and place it in the warm water cabinet during normal operation.
