About Teco Pure Ntchito Yoyera Mpweya

Teco Pure ndi chida choyeretsa mpweya chomwe chapangidwa kuti chiyikidwe pamwamba pa makina oziziritsa mpweya (air conditioner). Chidacho chimasefa tinthu ta PM2.5 ndipo chimagwiritsa ntchito kuwala kwa UVC kuti kupha majeremusi mumpweya pa pokhomera mpweya, pomwe kuyenda kwa mpweya mkati mwa nyumba kumayambira. Chip yowonjezera imalumikiza chidacho ndi bolodi lalikulu la makina oziziritsa mpweya, choncho sikofunika soketi ina ya magetsi, ndipo kugwiritsa ntchito kungachitike kudzera pa rimoti kapena pulogalamu ya foni ya m'manja. Kusonkhanitsa fumbi kogwiritsa ntchito magetsi osasunthika (electrostatic) kumalowa m'malo mwa masefa a kagwiritsidwe kamodzi, ndipo chosonkhanitsira fumbicho chimayeretsedwa nthawi ndi nthawi. Chidachi chimathandizanso kumasula malo pansi mchipinda.

About the Mphoto ya Chitsulo ya A' Design Award

Teco Pure Ntchito Yoyera Mpweya ndi mmodzi mwa opambana a Mphoto ya Chitsulo ya A' Design Award, kuzindikirika kolemekezeka komwe kumaperekedwa kwa mapangidwe abwino omwe amakwaniritsa zofunika za akatswiri ndi za makampani zomwe zimayembekezeka kuchokera ku zolengedwa zopangidwa bwino. Opambana a Chitsulo amaonetsa luso lalikulu, ukatswiri wapamwamba, kumvetsetsa kwa akatswiri ndi mphamvu yolenga ya opanga awo. Teco Pure Ntchito Yoyera Mpweya akuyembekezeka kukhala cholengedwa choyamikiridwa kwambiri, chosirira ndi chokondedwa chomwe ndi chothandiza ndi chatsopano. Mapangidwe opambana Mphoto ya Chitsulo ya A' Design Award awa amaphatikiza machitidwe abwino kwambiri a makampani ndipo ali ndi makhalidwe a ukadaulo oyenerera olumikizidwa ndi chidziwitso ndi luso. Teco Pure Ntchito Yoyera Mpweya amalemekezedwa chifukwa cha kusamala kwake ndipo anapangidwa kuti apereke kukonza kwa moyo kumene kumathandiza kusandutsa dziko kukhala malo abwino.

Unique Properties: Due to urban air pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic, people have begun to pay attention to the quality of the air they breathe every day. Therefore, how to provide clean air for people, is the advanced issue pursued in the development of this product. TECO has developed a set of cleaning modules that can be integrated above the air conditioner. Besides filtering PM2.5, it is also equipped with UV light which sterilizes and disinfects the air.
Dimensions & Packaging: Height 60mm X Length 840mm X Depth 163mm
Tags: Air, Purifier, TECO, Clean
Production Technology: In fact, there is no need for an extra power socket to install the TECO Pure UVC Module. With the integrated design of the chip, TECO inserts the function into the air conditioner's motherboard in the form of an expansion chip, and people can easily follow it through the remote control or mobile APP. When the air conditioner starts, it will activate the module as well. With the TECO Pure UVC Module installed at the air inlet, it can filter and sterilize the air at the source of indoor air circulation, continuously providing clean air. As a result, people will be able to achieve the same air purification effect as an air purifier.
Design Challenge: The chemical properties of the material presented great difficulties during the design process of the TECO Pure UVC Module. UVC irradiation causes the plastic shell to become fragile and crack after a long period of time. It was only through numerous experiments that the intensity and angle of UVC irradiation were adjusted, as well as optimizing the composition of the plastic shell, that a stable and long-lasting product was created.
Research: For air conditioners, people mostly stay in control of temperature and humidity and focus less on the treatment of air quality. According to market research, TECO found that consumers' expectations for air quality are increasing every day, so they decided to integrate the air purifier into the air conditioner, which can cut consumer expenditures while filtering air from the beginning. The TECO Pure UVC Module has become a unique design in the industry due to its independent development and the advantages of local production. As of now, no similar product is available for integration into air conditioners in Taiwan.
Inspiration: TECO Pure UVC Module, an air cleaning device attached to the top of the air conditioner, effectively integrates and solves the consumer's demand for healthy air. The device can help purify the internally circulating air environment created by the air conditioner. The UV-C technology on the device can sterilize viruses and acts like an air purifier without needing to be placed on the floor, freeing up consumer space and reducing the risk of tripping.
Project Duration: Lauched in Jan 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: When talking about air purifiers, it is directly associated with filter consumables that need to be replaced on a regular basis. The TECO Pure UVC Module adopts the technology of electrostatic dust collection to absorb dirt. Therefore, as long as the dust collector is cleaned regularly. Because of the integration of chips, the TECO Pure UVC Module consumes much less power to drive, allowing the same air purification effect as a real air purifier. In addition to effectively reducing the waste of consumables and electricity, it can also reduce the carbon footprint while enhancing the quality of life and creating a healthy environment.
