ʻO ka ʻenehana disinfection Ultraviolet (UV) ka mea hana kaulana i ka mālama ʻana i ka wai a me ka ea i nā makahiki he iwakālua i hala iho nei, ma muli o kona hiki ke hāʻawi i ka mālama ʻana me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kemika ʻino.

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

Ma kahi anuanu, hoʻohana mākou i nā Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) e hana i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o nā photons UV-C. Kuhikuhi ʻia nā kukuna i nā virus, bacteria a me nā pathogens ʻē aʻe i loko o ka wai a me ka lewa, a i ʻole ma luna o nā ʻili e hoʻolilo i kēlā mau pathogens i mea ʻino ʻole i kekona.

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

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