In recent years, consumers have paid more and more attention to the air quality in the car, and the number of complaints has also been increasing year by year. According to the results of the acceptance platform of the Defective Product Recall Center of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, as of the end of June 2021, the cumulative number of complaints about odor in cars in my country was as high as 27,728, which was only 4,607 five years ago. It can be said that improving the air quality in the car has become an issue that the industry must pay attention to.
On August 25, Japan's Stanley Electric will release the "air sterilization and deodorant AlNUV_AirP" that can sterilize and deodorize cars and rooms at the same time.
It is understood that this product uses 265nm wavelength UVC-LED as the germicidal light source, which has the highest germicidal effect. This product has passed a joint evaluation test with Yamaguchi University and found that it can inhibit 93.5% of bacteria and viruses in 15 minutes, and 99.9% in 30 minutes.
It is worth noting that the air purifier is different from the pure UVC-LED light source. It also increases the use of 365nm UVA-LED light source, which is compatible with photocatalyst and titanium-based photocatalyst, and has a high deodorizing effect. It can decompose 95% of acetaldehyde in 60 minutes and 80% of ammonia in 120 minutes.
Similar to the above-mentioned products, the UV LED wind direction learned that the international manufacturer Osram has also developed a product that can be used for air purification in the car-Air Zing Mini (parameters | pictures). It uses a UVA-LED light source and can remove viruses and bacteria from the vehicle air with a reliability of up to 99.9%.
The Air Zing Mini air purifier is a compact circular device with a diameter of 7.5 cm and its size is no more than an apple. It purifies the air by sucking the air into the device and passing it through a titanium dioxide filter, and then passing it through UVA-LED Irradiation performs a photocatalytic reaction, killing viruses and bacteria cells before the air is discharged through the top of the shell, ensuring that the discharged air is clean.
Summary: Judging from the application scenarios of the two products, the main purpose is to solve the physical hazards of the air pollution in the car to the drivers and passengers, which is in line with the concept of the pursuit of health by consumers.
In terms of product characteristics, they are all designed to be portable and compact. This uses the small size of the UV LED light source, no mercury hazard, and long lighting time, which can keep the air in the car always refreshed, not only effectively reducing driving People in the car can be more comfortable if they are tired.
