What is UVC technology and its benefits?

Have you heard of UVC technology on AQUA air conditioners or some lighting equipment? And do you want to find out what this technology is and the benefits it brings when integrated on the products we use? Let’s refer!

What is UVC technology?

UV (Ultra Violet) also known as Ultraviolet, it is in the light that cannot be seen by the naked eye and is divided into 3 groups: UVA , UVB and UVC .

Ultraviolet rays are present in sunlight, but when they reach the earth, the UVC group is trapped by the atmosphere. This group of UVC rays has extremely short wavelengths from 100 – 280 nm and has a particularly effective and safe sterilization effect .

UVC technology is a research technology that uses the UVC group of ultraviolet rays integrated into electronic products, household appliances, … to effectively destroy harmful substances.

UVC mechanism of action

UVC technology is a technology that kills bacteria by means of a radiant lamp , emitting UVC rays on surfaces or into the air. Surfaces or airflows directly exposed to UVC rays will be disinfected thanks to UVC’s ability to quickly kill harmful substances, bacteria, and viruses.

The effectiveness of UVC sterilization is directly related to the dose of UV light used , so its effectiveness can be simply measured when designing lighting systems on devices using the technology. This.

Benefits of UVC . technology

– UVC lamp technology is applied in solutions to disinfect surfaces, disinfect objects, and disinfect in the air to prevent the risks of microbial contamination, proven to be safe and effective.

– UVC emitting technology is tested and proven to be effective in inhibiting viruses with efficiency up to 99.998% . Test results showed that the virus was no longer detected after a few seconds of exposure to UVC light.

Based on experimental data performed by the National New Infectious Diseases Laboratory (NEIDL) at Boston University, under laboratory conditions, when irradiating a UVC light source onto an exposed surface of material For SARS-CoV-2 virus, a dose of 5mJ/cm2 reduces the virus by 99% in 6 seconds of irradiation, and a radiation dose of 22 mJ/cm2 reduces up to 99.9999% in 25 seconds.

– Environmentally friendly UVC technology, it is a physical process, does not use harmful chemicals, does not produce ozone gas.

– UVC radiation is different from UVA and UVB, it is not harmful when used too much , safe to use to disinfect living space or household appliances, …

When disinfected with this technology, the space or utensils will become clean, reducing many potential risks to health, safety for both people, objects and the environment, and is an easy-to-install technology. , operation and maintenance, saving investment costs.

With very special benefits, UVC technology, when integrated into household and electronic products, will be very much appreciated by consumers.
