We use 3D simulations to model radiation patterns for surface disinfection, factoring in the angle of incidence of UVC light on the target surface. Due to the microscopic roughness of surfaces, UVC light is less effective when hitting at an oblique angle compared to perpendicular incidence.

A Valuable Tool for Air and Surface Disinfection

Surface disinfection also allows for more flexibility in design. The shape of reflective materials, for instance, can significantly impact the intensity of light on the surface. With precise modelling in the software, a well-designed reflector can enhance the UVC light dose by up to 60%.

Our software is an essential tool for engineering UVC systems designed to disinfect both air and surfaces. Given the virtually limitless options for lamp placement and reflector designs, creating physical prototypes for every project isn’t practical. Instead, the software can predict the intensity of even the most complex configurations in under a minute. This allows for rapid iterations and optimisation of each design. Moreover, the software’s graphical visualisations provide clients with a clear and immediate understanding of the installation’s operation and effectiveness.
