1m UV Module
A 1m UV Module is also available, having all of the above mentioned features with the exception of the 1m cooling zone. In this instance a twin lamphouse, containing 2 lamps with fully focussed reflectors is fitted because of the available space. When UV is required to be fitted to an existing Air Dryer, even on other manufacturers units, the 1m UV Module can be used.
These modules can also be added to existing Air Force Dryers at a later date.
