NEW DELHI: The Defence Research and Development Organisation has developed an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection tower for rapid and chemical-free sanitization of areas that are highly prone to the coronavirus infection, the Defence Ministry said on Monday.
“For a room of about 12×12 feet dimension, the disinfection time is about 10 minutes,” the Ministry said, adding a 400-square-foot area can be sanitized within 30 minutes if the device is positioned at different places within the room.
The disinfection tower can be used remotely through laptop or mobile phone using a WIFI link, the Ministry said. It has six lamps each with 43 watts of UVC power at 254 nanometre wavelength for 360 degree illumination. (AGENCIES)
