What is Medium-pressure UV Lamps？

Medium-pressure lamps have a polychromatic output spectrum and operate at roughly 800°C - 900°C. With an average of 10x the power density per unit arc length, they have significantly higher power compared to amalgam low-pressure lamps.

UV medium-pressure lamps feature a broad, pronounced line spectrum in the ultraviolet and visible range (200 nm to 600 nm) and a high power density of about 100 W/cm².

They are suitable for UV disinfection, UV oxidation, UV curing and photochemical processes.

Various additives can be used to adjust our UV medium-pressure lamps to your individual requirements.

Application areas:

Disinfection of water

Photochemistry

Decomposition of pollutions, activated wet oxidation (AOP)

Drying and curing of coatings

Drying and curing with UV technology

UV radiation efficiently cures coatings such as paints, inks and adhesives within seconds. This allows prompt further processing of the product. Moreover, paints and adhesives need almost no solvents and, in most cases, less energy is consumed.

In addition, UV-cured surfaces are long-life and resistant to abrasion and scratching.

FIVER Group offers high quality medium pressure ultraviolet lamps used in diverse water and air disinfection applications, which is our main focus. However in our product range we also have MP UV lamps used in variety of different applications from curing (UVA) to microbial disinfection (UVC).

In UV disinfection medium pressure UV lamps are mainly used in the waste water disinfection and ship ballast water systems. It is because MP UV lamps emit significantly more UVC energy than LP UV lamps  allowing systems to have a higher flow rate of water and/or fit in extremely compact footprint areas. High powered MP UV lamps emit energy over the 200 through 400 nm (polychromatic ) range as well as operating at a much higher temper range of 600 – 900°C.
