Applications
UV lamps play a crucial role as the most essential components in Photoionization Detectors (PIDs), which are widely used for monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds are commonly present in the air and can have long-term effects on human health, making accurate and reliable monitoring a critical need. The quality and performance of the UV lamp are fundamental to the overall performance of the PID, as the lamp is responsible for generating the ultraviolet light required to ionize VOCs for detection. In turn, the performance of the PID directly determines the accuracy and reliability of air quality monitoring systems. This means that the effectiveness of the system, and ultimately its ability to measure VOCs in air, hinges on the precision and quality of the UV lamp. High-performance UV lamps are therefore vital for ensuring the success of air quality monitoring solutions used by professionals around the world.
