This UV LED solution has been proven to kill the novel coronavirus in air conditioning and heating systems.

Seoul Viosys (KOSDAQ: 092190), a global innovator in UV LED products and technology, will promote the new Violeds technology Solution, the world's first UV LED technology proven by research to eliminate the novel coronavirus in air conditioning and heating systems.

As part of the global effort to combat the coronavirus, Seoul Viosys will carry out pilot installations of its new Violeds technology Solution until August 31, 2020, focusing on public places such as office buildings, shopping malls, and airports. Visit the website (www.seoulviosys.com/en/) for inquiries and to learn about application areas. Seoul Viosys's partners will continue to support other requests after the first phase of the activity concludes.

Based on successful test results from a Korea University research team showing 99.9% inactivation of the novel coronavirus within 30 seconds, Seoul Viosys is providing optimized UV LED solutions to major air conditioner manufacturers. In June, a global air conditioner manufacturer with an annual production capacity of 40 million units adopted Violeds technology in 30 of its models.

Test results from the Guangzhou Institute of Microbiology (CGMT) in China show that Gree's new "Fresh Air" air conditioner, using Violeds UV LED technology, can kill 99.15% of viruses and bacteria, 98% of enteroviruses (such as EV71 and H1N1), and 99% of Staphylococcus albus. Furthermore, it has been proven to eliminate 90% of various harmful viruses in the air within 2 hours.

Air conditioner using Seoul Viosys Violeds technology solution

Violeds technology is not only adopted by the Chinese air conditioner manufacturer Gree, but also by a leading in-duct air treatment supplier in the United States. Seoul Viosys will also provide its technology to the air conditioners of a leading electronics brand.

Traditional air conditioners typically draw in outside air, cool and filter it, then discharge it back indoors for continuous recirculation. When viruses are present, this indoor air recirculation can increase the risk of infection via aerosol transmission. Dust and moisture on cooling filters can also spread harmful viruses. In air purification systems, conventional filters can only capture ordinary droplets or fine dust larger than 0.3 microns, while viruses such as the novel coronavirus and SARS virus, which are only about 0.1 microns in size, can pass directly through HEPA filters.

A representative of Seoul Viosys stated: "Violeds products have successfully obtained production licenses, and customer demand continues to expand. Violeds UV LED has been recognized as an indispensable technology for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. We believe that our new Violeds technology Solution for disinfecting air conditioning and heating systems can help eliminate airborne viruses and protect people from the COVID-19 pandemic."
