Vertical fan coil units (VFCUs) can become hotspots for microorganisms like bacteria, mold, and fungi, particularly due to their often damp and dark operating conditions. Without proper management, these microorganisms can greatly diminish air quality and affect the health of building occupants.

Biofilms, which are aggregations of microorganisms clinging together, can form on the coils, drain pans, and other parts of Vertical Fan Coil Units (VFCUs).

In VFCUs, these biofilms hinder efficiency by blocking airflow and heat exchange. They also cause unpleasant odors, degrade indoor air quality, and promote further microbial growth within the building.

Cleaning and maintaining Vertical Fan Coil Units (VFCUs) to control microbial growth can be an expensive and challenging task. Traditional methods typically involve manual cleaning with chemicals, which can be labor-intensive and still prone to errors, potentially causing damage to the units. Additionally, these methods often fail to completely remove all biofilm, leading to a quick recurrence of the problem.

Regular manual cleaning with chemicals of Vertical Fan Coil Unit (VFCU) coils can cause mechanical issues. The labor-intensive process and chemical usage can damage the fins, vital for heat transfer, reducing the unit's efficiency.

Cognituv's UV-C technology provides a safer option, preserving coil integrity without the risks associated with traditional cleaning methods.
