Recently, two new cars of the M9 and 2024 Jetway Dasheng have been equipped with UVC air purification modules. Under the increasingly fierce competition in the automotive market, the use of UVC-LED sterilization and taste purification functions to create a characteristic healthy cabin seems to be becoming a new trend for car companies to strengthen the competitiveness of product differentiation.
UVC air purification principle
Uvc-leds are commonly used in air purification systems in two forms:
1, combined with conventional air purification products, through irradiation into the dirty air inside the equipment, directly kill harmful microorganisms in the air.
2, with the use of photocatalysts, UVC-LED irradiation of the photocatalyst coating to promote its production of active functional groups, and then participate in the decomposition of odor macromolecules in the air, generating non-toxic and odorless CO₂ and H₂O, play the role of air purification.
Early application of vehicle UVC
There are certain air safety risks in the car, mainly caused by volatilities of materials in the car, toxic and harmful gases produced by smoking in the car, odor and respiratory viruses in the air, which can easily lead to a variety of health problems such as throat discomfort, dizziness, chest tightness and viral infection.
The wellness cabin is thus a big selling point for the new model. UVC-LED has the advantages of easy integration, high reliability, low power consumption, non-toxicity, safety and environmental protection, instant start and stop, etc., which can be said to be the first choice in the automotive scene, but there are still two core bottlenecks of low luminous efficiency and short service life.
In fact, as early as around 2020, there are already models equipped with UVC-LED kill modules. However, with the end of the epidemic, the use of the effect is not significant, the end demand is weak and other multiple factors, such applications gradually fell silent, after a period of time few UVC-LED vehicle new products launched.
Advances in key technologies of UVC-LED
Thanks to leading manufacturers and industrial chain coordination, UVC-LED technology has made a series of important progress in the past two years: mass production WPE has increased from 2~3% in the early stage of scale application to 5~6%, single-core optical power generally exceeds 100mW, and reliable life basically reaches more than 10000H. These technological breakthroughs related to product performance have continued to boost the confidence of a number of end markets, including automotive, to use UVC-LED to achieve product value-added and competitiveness. The application of UVC-LED in the field of health cockpit will inject new momentum into the development of the automotive industry, and UVC-LED is also expected to usher in huge growth opportunities.
