지능형 센서 및 이미터 분야의 세계적인 선도기업인 ams OSRAM (한국 대표 강석원)이 무수은(mercury-free) 및 효율적인 UV-C 소독 및 처리 솔루션에 대한 수요 증가에 부응하는 획기적인 UV-C LED 신제품 OSLON® UV 3535를 출시했다.
ams OSRAM Launches New UV-C LED Products
265㎚ peak wavelength, maximizes sterilization effect
UV-C LEDs, which emit the wavelength with the highest sterilizing effect with a peak wavelength of 265 nm, are making a full-scale attack on the disinfection market.
ams OSRAM, a global leader in intelligent sensors and emitters, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking new UV-C LED, the OSLON® UV 3535, which addresses the growing demand for mercury-free and efficient UV-C disinfection and treatment solutions.
This single-chip product delivers a powerful 115 milliwatts of output at 265 nanometers, the most effective germicidal emission wavelength.
The OSLON® UV 3535 is specifically designed for UV-C disinfection solutions. It breaks boundaries by delivering superior performance, superior germicidal efficacy, long life and excellent price-performance in one package. With a standard size of 3.5mm x 3.5mm, this cutting-edge LED offers a versatile and compact design with high cumulative radiant power within a 120° emission angle.
The enhanced performance of the OSLON® UV 3535 LED is based on innovations in package design and semiconductor technology using the latest generation flip-chip in an open 3535 ceramic package. AlGaN-based flip-chip is a multi-faceted source compared to conventional UV-C sources, offering flexibility in wavelength, output, and instant-on capability. Open package design and integrated frame technology increase efficiency while reducing costs. Highly reflective frames improve light emission and forward-facing radiation, making these products strong performers in the fast-growing UV-C market.
“Advances in package design and semiconductor technology have enabled us to deliver a UV-C solution that delivers the right balance of efficiency, quality and performance,” said Nina Reiser, Senior Product Manager for UV-C at ams OSRAM. “This product sets a new industry benchmark. Achieving the desired efficacy while maintaining long lifetime and an excellent price-performance ratio at 265 nanometers – the ideal wavelength for maximum germicidal efficacy against pathogens – is not easy.”
UV-C LED technology is changing the way air, surfaces and water are purified and disinfected in a wide range of applications. ams OSRAM’s unique portfolio combines highly efficient UV-C emitters and spectral sensors with highly accurate presence detectors to ensure that the right amount of UV-C light is exposed only when needed.
For example, water can be disinfected directly from a UV-C LED reactor only when needed at the entrance of a building. Since the reactor must respond immediately to water requests from multiple users, the instant on/off and switching capabilities of the UV-C light source are essential.
The point source capability of UV-C LEDs makes them particularly effective in air and surface treatment applications because they enable a collimated beam, reducing losses and improving photon utilization. Research conducted at the University of Liverpool impressively demonstrates that UV-C LED technology can achieve the same level of system performance in air treatment units as conventional mercury lamps, but with significantly lower UV-C radiation from the light source.
The SU CULFP1 UV-C LED from ams OSRAM’s OSLON® UV 3535 family is available worldwide now. For more information on UV-C disinfection and treatment, visit https://ams-osram.com/applications/industrial/uv-c-disinfection-treatment.
