Development of a Disinfection System for Lift Car Using Far-ultraviolet C (Far-UVC)

I&T Solution Development of a Disinfection System for Lift Car Using Far-ultraviolet C (Far-UVC)
(REF : S-0810)
Matched I&T Wish
Trial Project
Solution Feature
  • Far-UVC system tailor-made for lift
  • Include common pathogens for laboratory test
  • Field test include both lift button panel, hand rail and cabin air
  • Include a comprehensive M&V report
Trial Application and Expected Outcome
  • A tailer-made Far UVC lamp will be installed in the lift that will irradiated on the lift button and hand-rail to kill attached microorganisms;
  • The disinfection system will not affect the lift users;
  • Effectiveness of the irradiation will be proved by sampling of bacteria on the surface of the lift button and in air inside the lift;
  • Laboratory test will be conducted to indicate the effectiveness of Far-UVC on common pathogens ;
  • The R&D test result can indicate the effectiveness of the Far UVC technology for surface and air disinfection.
