Name
UCA
Technical purpose of product or process Universal casings type UCA for installation into the ductwork of ventilation and air conditioning systems. Installation of filter elements for the separation of coarse and fine dust or gaseous substances. For more information see: https://www.trox.de/en/universal-casings/uca-18690f7d0e8f0e0d Universal casings type UCA for installation into the ductwork of ventilation and air conditioning systems. Fitting of filter elements for the separation of coarse dust and fine dust and for the adsorption of gaseous odorous substances and contaminants. Universal casings are available as one-stage or two-stage construction; side maintenance cover with handles and star grip screws. Arrangement of the maintenance cover optionally on the left or right, depending on the airflow direction. Universal casing consisting of either a standard cell frame for the fitting of filter elements (one stage or two stages) or of mounting plates for the fitting of activated carbon filter cartridges (one stage) or mounting plates and standard cell frames (two-stage). Standard cell frame with 4 clamping elements for secure sealing between the frame and the filter element. Fitting of activated carbon filter cartridges with bayonet fixing. The casing frame with its wide sealing surfaces forms the connecting subframe for ducts. Pressure measurement points are part of the supply package but must be set up on site by others. This EPD declares the environmental data of the product series UCA. The following represents a representative dataset of the default variant UCA-1SPF-GAL/1325x1325x650/R.

General comment on data set Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Energy, water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
