According to reports, Energy Harness, an LED lighting company affiliated to Purdue University in the United States, has developed an air disinfection system with built-in UVC LEDs that can be installed on the ceiling to purify the air.
Purdue University stated that this UVC LED air disinfection equipment uses the effectiveness of deep ultraviolet light to kill pathogens of the new coronavirus family. It has equipped with an active airflow device, which adds an additional advantage to the equipment and can ensure it’s safe use in the classroom. In addition, the device is equipped with a fan system that can inhale air, and then circulated back to the room after the air is cleaned .
In the upcoming new semester, Energy Harness plans to install this UVC air disinfection system for two schools in central Indiana, USA.
It is known that up to now, many researchers around the world have proven that UVC light can effectively reduce the new coronavirus. In response to the need for epidemic prevention, a variety of product applications based on UVC LED technology have also appeared on the market. A study conducted by the American Lighting Research Center LRC showed that the air purification related products at the top of the room are the most popular disinfection products right now.
