Recently, a research team consisting of the Technical University of Munich, the Department of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine of the Munich University Hospital, and the new entrepreneur Smart United GmbH announced the development of a COVID-19 UV protection wall.
According to foreign media reports, this virus protection wall composed of UVC-LED can kill pathogens that drift with airborne particles and prevent them from entering the indoor environment. At an airflow speed of 10 cm per second, it can reach more than 99% of the virus. inactivation rate.
According to the development team, the verification of the protection rate of the protective wall is carried out using coronavirus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. The UVC virus protection wall system emits UVC light in the form of a curtain. Pathogens drifting with airborne particles cannot survive after passing through the UVC light curtain. Coupled with a special protection mechanism, the air is guided to flow to the UVC lighted area for disinfection. Effectively avoid the accumulation of infectious suspended particles.
According to GMKJ LED, the current UVC virus protection wall system can be used as an invisible partition wall, dividing a large room into several virtual small rooms, or deployed in rooms and buildings to help ensure the hygiene of suspended particles. When the human body enters the lighted area or someone passes through the light curtain, the system will automatically turn off the light source to avoid health and safety risks, while not hindering the entry and exit of people.
It is reported that this product is suitable for hospitals, office buildings, stations and other places. At present, the research team is accelerating the commercialization of the system.
