![]() Same time, before the May production rollout of the drone, we are gathering ![]() OpticalStudio software with data supplied by Crystal IS/Klaran. Working with the manufacturer’s engineers to determine the correct UVC doses neededįor a 99% disinfection rate, and the graphics I’ve provided come from Zemax With UVC LED manufacturer Crystal IS/Klaran, and we have worked closely to Generally, UVC sources are large, cost-prohibitive or impractical to Light sanitation technology is currently used for surface and waterĭisinfection all over the world. The 265 NM wavelength is useful for COVID-19 disinfection, destroying its Recent research and protocols indicate that UVC energy centered around Time, the CDC continues to develop broad disinfection guidelines for this Medgadget: Can UVC inactivate COVID-19? How was this tested? Was it a partnership?Ī new virus (SARS-CoV-2) related to other well-characterized viruses. Overkill is always good, more energy is best, yet this has to be balanced with sanitizing as much space as possible. The 36 emitters have a nice overlap of energy that can be seen in the surface energy density plots. Alholm: The simulations above are based on the data from this specific LED it’s a lack of coherence that is helpful. Digital Aerolus will provide users with additional information and software resources to determine the correct UVC dose for each disinfection before the Aertos 120-UVC’s broad product launch in early May.Ĭoncentrated is the beam? Coherence can be a big issue. *=These images are the output from Zemax OpticalStudio using data provided by Crystal IS/Klaran, the company providing the UVC light sources arrayed on the Aertos 120-UVC. Total energy projection per second on a 2 meter x 2 meter area. One example to help understand the Aertos 120-UVC capabilities:įigure 2. Provide a broadly applicable example, we have calculated the time and distanceįrom the Aertos 120-UVC to accomplish a greater than 99% disinfection rate. There are multiple variables in every disinfection UVC in the 265-nanometer frequency range provides an extremely high rate ofĭisinfection. Practical access to this technology to kill pathogens. Weīelieve that some businesses and organizations need immediate, deployable, and Organizations to deploy UVC disinfecting tactics quickly and remotely. Industrial drones with these small but powerful UVC sources, allows more Platform to deliver UVC disinfection is what is unique. Have recently become available for broad deployment. Via UVC emitters is not new, but there is a new class of small LED sources that Drone-based UVCĭisinfection–our delivery of the UVC energy makes this product unique. Medgadget: What’s the UV operating frequency range, and why is UVC the most effective for this application? Was this technology based on any prior studies?īroadly deployed and sanitize much of the world’s water. Intensity (i) = Power emitted from UVC light source or sources + distance ofĮmitters (in this application 36 emitters pointing down from the Aertosġ20-UVC) toward the surface being sanitized X (times). As a general rule, if a greater thanģ milli-Joules of energy can be delivered to a cm by cm surface, then a greaterĬorrect UVC fluence or dose (d) is calculated using the following equation:ĭose (d) = UVC Intensity (i) x Exposure time (t) Variables in every disinfection situation. We mount our UVC LEDs on aĮnergy emitted in the wavelength range centered around 265 NM is generallyĬonsidered the gold standard for effective UVC disinfection. The replication mechanics of a virus on a surface critically depends on theĮxposure time and distance from the UVC source. Sterilization using UVC energy in various industries. Of our UVC LED supplier, Crystal IS/Klaran, and decades of pathogen These results are not derived from our studies, but from those As a general rule, delivering 3 milli-joules ofĢ65 NM UVC to a square centimeter area will achieve a disinfection rateĮxceeding 99%. From studies with other coronaviruses that inactivation using UVC depends onĮxposure time and intensity.
