Quartz Sleeves for Germicidal UV Lamps
What is UV quartz sleeve?
The Quartz Sleeve is a transparent tube of crystal clear glass that allows the germicidal UV wavelengths to transmit through the glass. Quartz sleeves are specially designed to be transparent to UV light and allow the passage of these UV rays. Quartz is a good transmitter of UV rays. The UV range is from 0.1 nm to about 400 nm (or from 100 A to about 4000 A). The visible light wavelengths are longer, between 400 nm and 700 nm. Quartz will transmit UV from 180 nm to 400 nm.
How frequently Should a UV Sleeve be Cleaned?
Consistently cleaning the UV quartz sleeve of your UV System is significant in light of the fact that impurity development on the sleeve can reduce UV transmission and decrease in general system viability. Careful cleaning and maintenance of the quartz sleeve is suggested like clockwork (best to simultaneously you're supplanting the UV light), and the sleeve ought to be supplanted each 24 three years. Contingent upon the nature of your water, you might have to take out the quartz sleeve and clean it each couple of months.
