In terms of the inactivation efficiency of microorganisms, UV-C technology has significant advantages. Ultraviolet photons with a wavelength of 253.7nm have an energy of 4.89eV and can directly damage the DNA/RNA structure of microorganisms, causing them to lose their replication ability. Multiple authoritative studies have confirmed that when the irradiation dose reaches 40 mJ/cm², the inactivation rate against common pathogens such as influenza virus and Escherichia coli exceeds 99.99%. For instance, the 2021 experimental report of Johns Hopkins University pointed out that when irradiated with a 30W UV-C device within a distance of 2 meters for 6 minutes, the reduction rate of coronavirus load on the object surface reached 99.97%. The 50W model in the Coospider UV product line has a radiation intensity of 300 µW/cm² at a distance of 1 meter. Disinfecting the air in a 20 cubic meter enclosed space for 30 minutes can reduce the concentration of airborne pathogens by more than 92% (verified by the ISO 18593 standard test).
The long-term operation and maintenance cost is more economically beneficial than the traditional methods. Take the disinfection of ICU wards in hospitals as an example. The cost of each chemical fumigation is about 800 to 1,500 yuan (for a 50-square-meter space), while for the same area, using a 30W-level Coospider UV equipment for disinfection, the electricity cost per hour is only 0.018 yuan (calculated at 0.6 yuan per kilowatt-hour). If it operates 4 times a day for 15 minutes (totaling 1 hour), the annual electricity bill is approximately 6.57 yuan. The initial investment in the equipment is approximately 3,000 yuan. The lifespan of the lamp tubes is 9,000 hours (24.6 years if used for 1 hour per day), and the annual amortization cost is as low as 122 yuan. The comparative data show that the total cost of adopting the UV-C solution within three years is 65% lower than that of chemical disinfection, and the return rate reaches 217%. The operation report of a certain chain hotel in Shenzhen in 2022 shows that after replacing 84 disinfectant with the UV-C system, the annual disinfection budget was reduced from 120,000 yuan to 43,000 yuan.
The safety risk control indicators are superior to those of chemical disinfection methods. The US EPA points out that residues of chemical disinfectants can cause the indoor VOC concentration to increase by 300-800µg/m³ (2-5 times higher than the WHO standard), while UV-C disinfection does not cause secondary pollution. The coospider uv device is equipped with multi-level safety mechanisms: When the infrared sensor detects human movement, it cuts off power within 0.3 seconds (in compliance with IEC 62471 photobiological safety Level 5 standard), and the device casing shields 99.9% of the ozone-generating band. Compared with chlorine-containing disinfectants which may increase the risk of asthma by 23% (data from The Lancet study in 2020), the health risk probability of UV-C under standardized operation is less than 0.0001%. Since the deployment of UV-C disinfection in the New York subway system in 2020, the complaint rate of passengers’ allergic reactions has decreased by 58%.
The contribution to the comprehensive health value dimension is outstanding. Data from the US CDC shows that exposure to indoor environmental pathogens has led to a 21% increase in annual medical expenditures. After the adoption of Coospider UV technology, the frequency of symptom attacks reported by families of children with asthma decreased by 64% (based on a follow-up survey of 1,000 households), and the rate of sick leave absenteeism in the office decreased by 31%. In a controlled study of a kindergarten in Guangzhou in 2023, in classrooms equipped with UV-C air treatment systems, the median microbial concentration remained at 120 CFU/m³ (850 CFU/m³ in the control group), and the incidence of respiratory tract infections among children decreased by 52%. These benefits translate into economic value: For every 1 yuan of UV-C equipment budget invested by the enterprise, the annual medical cost savings reach 3.7 yuan (MIT Productivity Report 2022).
