Our PCO system does not have a chamber so we create the field inside the entire duct with our 18” lamps and create a massive UV bath of 72” x duct cross-section area. So, you have confirmed exactly what this thread is about - UV lights will destroy any materials made of hydrocarbons exposed to the UV lights.
Kills germs, bacteria, viruses, mildew, mold spores such as stachybotrys and black mold, destroy VOCs, eliminate odors, produce negative hydroxyl ions. The kill rate of air pollutants is a function of space, time and the intensity of UV. Yes, best installation of these lights are closest to the evap coil.
At one time I was skeptical about the claims regarding UVC lights and health issues. As I understood the effects of UVC in HVAC systems the UV radiation would outright kill some biologicals or sufficiently damage the 'DNA' as to preclude reproduction. My first introduction to UVC lights was in 1996.
UV light has been known to kill many things. Sunlight UV-A if exposed long enough has shown to kill other viruses in the Covid Family. UV-B has been shown to help different skin conditions. UV-C has shown like UV-A that it kills most virus and bacteria, it's more potent and takes shorter exposure.
ASHRAE recommends 30-50% rh for mold and fungi control, ~ 55% best for bacteria and viruses. Static electricity issues <40%. UV will not hurt the coils, but may damage plastic drain pans. Paint or use foil tape to protect plastics from direct uv light exposure.
Stink is coming from the AC itself. Plan of attack: 1. treat evap coil with a product called Walex Exodor 2. install 3-4 UV lights 3. install iWave. The UV lights are the BioshieldUV Lite model off Amazon with magnetic mount. Going with quantity over quality.
