ʻO ka ʻenehana disinfection Ultraviolet (UV) ka mea hoʻokani hōkū i ka wai a me ka mālama ʻana i ka ea i nā makahiki ʻelua i hala aku nei, ma muli o kona hiki ke hāʻawi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i nā kemika ʻino.

Hōʻike ʻo UV i nā lōʻihi hawewe e hāʻule ana ma waena o ke kukui ʻike ʻia a me ka x-ray ma ka spectrum electromagnetic. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka laulā UV i UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, a me Vacuum-UV. Hōʻike ka ʻāpana UV-C i nā nalu hawewe mai 200 nm - 280 nm, ka lōʻihi nalu i hoʻohana ʻia i kā mākou huahana disinfection LED.
Komo nā kiʻi UV-C i nā pūnaewele a hōʻino i ka waikawa nucleic, hiki ʻole iā lākou ke hana hou, a i ʻole microbiologically hana ʻole. Hana ʻia kēia hana ma ke ʻano; hoʻopuka ka lā i nā kukuna UV e hana i kēia ʻano.

Ma ka ʻoluʻolu, hoʻohana mākou i nā Light Emitting Diodes (LED) e hana i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o nā kiʻi UV-C. Kuhi ʻia nā kukuna i nā maʻi maʻi, bacteria a me nā pathogens ʻē aʻe i loko o ka wai a me ka ea, a i ʻole ma luna o nā ʻili e hoʻopōʻino i kēlā mau pathogens i kekona.

E like me ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā LED i nā ʻoihana hōʻike a me nā kukui, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka ʻenehana LED UV-C e hāʻawi i nā mea hou, hoʻomaikaʻi a hoʻonui ʻia i ka mālama ʻana i ka ea a me ka wai. Loaʻa ka pale ʻelua, ka pale ma hope o ka kānana ʻana ma kahi i hiki ʻole ke hoʻohana mua ʻia nā ʻōnaehana me ka mercury.

Hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia kēia mau LED i nā ʻōnaehana like ʻole e mālama i ka wai, ea, a me nā ʻili. Ke hana pū nei kēia mau ʻōnaehana me ka pahu LED e hoʻopuehu i ka wela a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka pono o ke kaʻina disinfection.
