Control Systems For The Operation Of UV Lamps

The productivity and efficacy of an UV curing unit is very often judged only by
stating the specific power of the installed UV lamps. But the quality of an UV
cured product is determined by the spectral UV irradiance ) and the spectral
UV dose to which the product has been exposed. So there is some need to
evaluate the relationship of the specific power (W/cm) of an UV lamp installed in a
curing unit to the UV-C irradiance and dose created on the surface of an
illuminated substrate (Fig. 1).
