Plug-in modules are specifically useful whenever an air sanitization process has to be provided on existing air handling units or HVAC systems. The air purifying action is related to the photocatalytic effect generated by the interaction of UV light with humid air and a catalyst: oxidizing ions are released such as hydroperoxide, hydroxide, superoxide ions, extremely aggressive towards bacteria, viruses, NOx and odours, but harmless to human, animals and vegetables. That is a significant advantage when compared to widely used but potentially harmful sanitization substances, like fluorine and chlorine.
