A vehicular sanitization control device includes a rechargeable internal power source, a deep ultraviolet light source, a first display light source configured to display an operating state of the deep ultraviolet light source, a second display light source configured to display a state of charge of the internal power source, and a control unit configured to control a power supplied to the deep ultraviolet light source, a charging operation of the internal power source, and displays of the first display light source and the second display light source, respectively.

A vehicle air conditioner is equipped with a photocatalyst which is irradiated with light so that bacteria generated in the photocatalyst is removed. In particular, an entire area of the photocatalyst is irradiated with the light using a small number of light sources so that sterilization effect of a filter can be improved.

A purification device for cleaning one or more surfaces of a vehicle, the purification device configured to apply a purification process onto the one or more surfaces of the vehicle, the purification device includes a heating device for increasing a temperature of the surface.

An integrated sterilization lamp module integrated in a vehicle, including: a sterilization lamp which is configured for emitting sterilization light rays to sterilize surfaces in the vehicle at which they arrive; an attachment device which is configured for attaching the integrated sterilization lamp module to the vehicle; and an automatic controller which is configured for controlling the sterilization lamp so that it can automatically perform a sterilization operation. The application also relates to a vehicle including the integrated sterilization lamp module.

The present disclosure relates to an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization device, and more specifically, to a UV sterilization device whose radiation mode and position may be changed. The UV sterilization device includes: a sterilization unit configured to be movable up to a specific position and including a UV emission unit; a driving unit configured to move the sterilization unit; and a lens assembly including at least two different types of lenses and provided on a front surface of the UV emission unit.

An air conditioning (AC) system is provided, employing a sulfonated copolymer (SC) layer as a selectively permeable and ion exchanging membrane. The sulfonated block copolymer has an IEC greater than 0.5 meq/g. In embodiments, the sulfonated block copolymer is used to form the membrane itself, or bonded/coated onto a membrane or a foam. In embodiments, the AC employs a membrane electrode assembly, i.e., using electric field across a membrane in a dehumidifier to transport moisture generating a dry air stream, along with an evaporative cooler for latent heat removal via evaporation induced cooling of the dry air stream from the dehumidifier. The system operates as a closed loop wherein the room air after cooling is recycled or loop back to the dehumidifying membrane electrode assembly to generate dry air for the evaporative cooler, generating conditioned air.

A temporal mount disinfection device for providing portable UV-C disinfection includes an elongated housing having a plurality of apertures. A plurality of UV-C LEDs project light through each one of the plurality of apertures. A spot light emanates from the housing and is used for aiming the plurality of UV-C LEDs to a specific location within a vehicle. A mount is connected to the housing that is reconfigurable for allowing the disinfection device to be mounted in various locations throughout a vehicle.

An air sterilization assembly for passenger compartment air sterilization includes a substrate and a set of bulbs. The substrate is mountable within an air conduit of a passenger compartment ventilation system of a vehicle so that the substrate is mounted to the air conduit without substantially reducing airflow through the air conduit. The set of bulbs is engaged to the substrate and is operationally engageable to an electrical circuit of the vehicle. The bulbs emit ultraviolet C radiation, which neutralizes pathogens in air passing through the air conduit.

This invention provides an air disinfecting device for disinfecting or decontaminate air, which comprises a first metal plate and a second metal plate opposite to the first metal plate, a UVC LED mounted on the first metal plate, and a power supply providing power to the UVC LED. The second metal plate has an area large enough such that lights emitted from the UVC LED will be enclosed inside the air disinfection device.
