Supporting UVC LED Integration Across White Goods
UVLEDTEK develops application-specific UVC LED appliance solutions for air, water, and internal
surface disinfection across different white goods applications.
UVC LED Air Disinfection for Air Conditioners
Integrating UVC LED disinfection into an air conditioner adds active microbial control to the air-handling process. It helps reduce airborne microorganisms in circulating air and microbial buildup on moisture-prone internal components, supporting cleaner indoor air and a more hygienic air-conditioning system.

Treatment Across the Airflow Path
UVC LED modules can be positioned near the return-air path, evaporator coil, heat exchanger, or other designated areas within the airflow channel. Depending on the installation position and optical layout, the module may treat circulating air, irradiate exposed coil surfaces, or provide combined air-and-surface treatment.
UVC LED Water and Drum Disinfection for Washing Machines
Integrating UVC LED modules into a washing machine provides an additional hygiene function for water and selected internal surfaces. Controlled irradiation can help reduce microorganisms in designated water paths and limit microbial buildup on exposed drum or tub surfaces, supporting a cleaner washing environment and reducing the risk of secondary contamination.

Targeting Water Paths and Internal Surfaces
Depending on the appliance design, UVC LED modules can be integrated into the inlet or circulating water path, positioned around a defined water-treatment chamber, or installed to irradiate exposed drum and tub surfaces during a controlled cycle. Flow-through modules are used for moving water, while surface-oriented modules target designated moisture-prone areas within the appliance.
End-to-End Support from Application Design to Mass Production
UVLEDTEK works with white goods manufacturers throughout UVC LED solution development, helping manage
technical risks, streamline project execution, and build a reliable foundation for mass production.
FAQ
Q: What types of white goods can integrate UVC LED disinfection modules?
A: UVC LED modules can be integrated into white goods that require microbial control in circulating air, water paths, or designated internal surfaces. Typical applications include air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, and other appliances with clearly defined treatment areas. The appropriate solution depends on the appliance structure, operating cycle, environmental conditions, and required disinfection performance.
Q: Where can UVC LED modules be installed within an appliance?
A: The installation position depends on the intended treatment target. Modules may be placed within airflow channels, near evaporator coils, in water circulation paths, or adjacent to designated internal surfaces. UVLEDTEK evaluates the available space, irradiation distance, optical coverage, environmental exposure, and user-access conditions before recommending an installation approach.
Q: How do you select the appropriate UVC LED module for a white goods application?
A: Module selection begins with the treatment target and required performance. UVLEDTEK also considers the appliance structure, available installation space, airflow or water-flow conditions, operating cycle, temperature and humidity, electrical interface, safety controls, and expected service life. Based on these inputs, we can recommend an existing module or develop an application-specific configuration.
Q: What information should we provide for an initial application evaluation?
A: Please provide the appliance type, intended treatment target, internal drawings or available installation dimensions, operating conditions, electrical interface, and expected disinfection requirement. Air-treatment projects should also include airflow rate and airflow-channel dimensions, while water-treatment projects should provide flow rate or storage volume and available water-quality information. Photos, 3D files, operating sequences, and preliminary test requirements can help accelerate the evaluation.
Q: How is disinfection performance validated?
A: Performance is evaluated under conditions that reflect the intended application. Depending on the project, validation may include wavelength, optical output, irradiation coverage, exposure time, calculated or measured UVC dose, and microbiological reduction testing. Airflow, water flow, UV transmittance, structural shadowing, and the location of the target microorganisms are considered where relevant. Any microbial reduction claim should be based on defined test conditions rather than module power alone.
Q: How long does a customized UVC LED module project take?
A: The development schedule depends on the degree of customization, availability of appliance drawings and operating data, prototype iterations, validation requirements, and customer approval procedures. Projects based on an existing module generally require less development than completely new structures. After reviewing the technical requirements, UVLEDTEK can define the development stages, expected deliverables, and an estimated project schedule.
