Uncompromised Protection
The Quartz Sleeve is the critical interface between the UV lamp and the ballast water. Its job is twofold: to protect the high-intensity Medium Pressure lamp from water contact and to allow the maximum amount of UV radiation to pass through to the microorganisms.
YAF Diesel provides genuine BSKY Quartz Sleeves manufactured from high-purity, synthetic quartz glass. These sleeves are engineered for extreme thermal stress and high-pressure environments while maintaining exceptional optical clarity.
Why Genuine BSKY Quartz Sleeves?
1) Maximum UV Transmittance (UVT)
Not all glass is the same. BSKY genuine sleeves are High-Transmittance (HT) rated. They allow over 90% of UVC energy to pass through.
Non-genuine sleeves may contain impurities that absorb UV, reducing kill effectiveness and increasing the risk of non-compliance.
2) Exceptional Thermal & Pressure Resistance
Medium Pressure UV lamps operate at high temperatures. BSKY sleeves are engineered for:
- Thermal shock resistance: Handles rapid temperature change during start-up/cooling
- High-pressure durability: Tested for typical ballast pump pressures (up to 6 bar or higher)
3) Precision Dimensions for Sealing Integrity
A leaking sleeve can damage an expensive lamp and trigger a shutdown. Genuine sleeves are manufactured with millimeter precision for proper fit with O-rings and compression nuts—preventing water ingress.
Compliance Confidence
Consistent UV dose delivery by maximizing optical clarity and correct sealing.
Lower Risk of Downtime
Precision fit reduces leak risk and protects electronic housings and lamps.

The Ultrasonic Advantage
One unique benefit of the BSKY system is Ultrasonic Pre-treatment. Ultrasonic waves vibrate the quartz sleeves at high frequency, helping prevent scale (calcium) and bio-films from attaching to the surface.
Result: Sleeves stay cleaner for longer, reducing manual inspection frequency and maximizing glass life.
Practical Outcome
Clear sleeves = stable UV intensity = predictable compliance performance throughout ballasting operations.
Global Supply by YAF Diesel

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When should a Quartz Sleeve be replaced?
Replace sleeves if there is physical cracking, permanent solarization (browning), or if UV intensity remains low even after a new lamp is installed.
Can I clean the sleeves manually if the water was exceptionally muddy?
Yes. If needed during annual maintenance, use a soft cloth and a mild citric acid solution to remove stubborn mineral deposits.
Are O-rings included with the sleeve?
Yes. We recommend replacing O-rings whenever a sleeve is removed or replaced to ensure a watertight seal.
Ensure your UV system has the clarity it needs for 100% compliance.
