Energy Harness develops ceiling mount UV-C LED system for air disinfection

Purdue University and LED lighting manufacturer Energy Harness Corp. have announced a ceiling-mounted ultraviolet (UV) system called Active-Airflow that is intended to deactivate pathogens including the novel coronavirus.

Energy Harness has an active affiliation with Purdue and operates an office in the Purdue Research Park of Indianapolis that’s managed by the Purdue Research Foundation. Energy Harness intends to have systems available for two Central Indiana school districts before classes restart.

The integration of UV-C sources in air-circulation systems has great promise, especially given the growing knowledge about the dangers of airborne spread of the coronavirus.
