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.

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.

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 in Taiwan.

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.
