Abstract:
1. An ultra-violet lamp assembly for an HVAC or A/C unit having a condenser coil with air flow moving from an upstream position relative to the condenser coil to a downstream position relative to the condenser coil, the assembly comprising: a support positioned upstream relative to the coil; an ultra violet lamp for emitting UV radiation on the condenser coil; and a reflector/shield extending along the length of the ultraviolet lamp and comprising: an inner reflector surface comprising a parabolic configuration, the ultraviolet lamp being adjustably mountable to the inner reflector surface so as to sit therein thereby providing a uniform illumination pattern on the condenser coil, the inner reflector surface providing reflecting UV radiation on the ultra-violet lamp thus preventing cooling thereof; and an outer shield surface comprising a convex configuration and being mountable to the support, the convex outer shield surface provides for air flow in the vicinity of the ultra-violet lamp to be deflected thereby thus preventing cooling of the ultra-violet lamp; wherein the distance between the UV lamp and the inner reflector shield can be adjusted to increase or decrease the spread of the reflected radiation on the condenser coil.
