Prevent the Spread of Virus and Bacteria Through Ventilation Systems
UV Diffusers act as a shield removing pathogens from the air coming from the ventilation system before it enters the room. The disinfected air is then mixed with the air present in the room to reduce the concentration of contaminants. UV Diffusers improve ventilation efficiency while preventing the spread of airborne diseases.
A Three-in-One Solution
1. Safe Air
UV Diffusers sterilize the air using UVC light to neutralize airborne pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Thanks to our special plenum which integrates ozone-free UV lamps and its design to increase air contact with UVC rays, we manage to irradiate up to 100% of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, Tuberculosis, Legionella and many other pathogens.
2. Clean Air
A MERV-9 filter catches and traps airborne particles including dust, mites, spores and pollen. Filtering the air at the very end of the duct line ensures us that no re-contamination of the air will happen after the filtration process. A common example of re-contamination is dust accumulation in the duct line over time, which can create allergic reactions when the air conditioning system is running.
3. Enhanced Ventilation
Improving air mixing is what EffectiV HVAC diffusers are designed for. AXO high induction and PLAY adjustable diffusers provide better mixing of the new air with room air, resulting in a faster and more efficient removal of contaminants. Another benefit is a significant improvement of occupants’ thermal comfort. Better air mixing can also help optimizing the performance of the HVAC system and reduce the energy consumption.
Ideal for Retrofits
Unlike MERV-13 and HEPA filters, UV diffusers add very little pressure to the system. This makes them compatible with existing buildings without needing expensive system upgrades. UV diffusers can replace most existing diffusers without issues, and even improve air distribution performance.
UV diffusers disinfect the recirculated air from pathogens with an efficiency up to 100%, which makes it unnecessary to increase the percentage of outdoor air. UV diffusers’ energy consumption is minimal, providing the benefits of using 100% outdoor air at a fraction of the cost.
Efficient Air Disinfection
This is an example of sterilization results for a UV2 Diffuser integrating 2 UVC lamps and handling 200 cfm of air volume. Visit our Air Disinfection Efficiency section for a complete list of pathogens and disinfection performance at different air volumes.
Safe for Building Occupants
UV Diffusers do not produce UVA nor UVB light, only UVC and blue light. They are designed to contain UVC rays inside the diffuser and to let just enough blue light pass through in order to create the safe and reassuring blue glow you can see, symbolic of clean and microbe-free air. Some people associate the blue light to UV light, but it’s not. The blue light that you see is just blue light, without UV.
A Perfect Solution For Commercial Buildings, Including
Office Buildings
Safety is one of the main concerns when it comes to employees returning to the office. UV Diffusers help ensure their safety and also reassure employees. They can see that measures are being taken to make sure the air they are breathing is safe. Commercial real estate is facing new challenges and upgrading your office spaces with UV Diffusers can lower energy consumption and operation costs, while increasing occupancy and building value.
Schools
Children’s education must continue and precautions are being taken such as limiting children interactions between classrooms. This helps contain potential outbreaks within one classroom only, preventing the virus from spreading between classrooms. There is, however, a risk of airborne viruses spreading through the ventilation system, but we must keep the systems running in order to ventilate the rooms and avoid high concentrations of virus particles in the air. UV Diffusers are designed to stop the spread from room to room and are compatible with existing school ventilation systems.
Dental Clinics
Dental offices are one of the most high-risk places to acquire airborne diseases. To ensure the health and security of employees, patients and professionals, proper ventilation is an absolute necessity and UV Diffusers are the solution for sanitization of the air to prevent the accumulation and recirculating of pathogens within clinics. UV Diffusers’ blue glow in the ceiling will reassure patients and staff that pathogen-free and filtered air is being delivered, allowing to breathe with more confidence.

The PLAY-UV diffuser has been selected by a panel of highly respected HVAC experts.
PLAY is the only diffuser providing a full 360-degree horizontal adjustment of the airflow. Each round sector can be manually rotated from the face to redirect the airflow exactly where we need it.
PLAY allows us to also reach parts of the room which would normally lack proper ventilation, either because of the room configuration, the diffuser location, obstacles, or other factors.
PLAY also allows us to improve thermal comfort by redirecting the air away from people feeling drafts, or towards sources of heat gain/loss like large windows.
Thanks to the PLAY diffuser, HVAC technicians can shape the air circulation in the room with precision, ensuring an almost perfect ventilation in any room configuration.
