UV-C LED Seed Disinfection: Mechanics Group

This thesis presents the design and development of a UV-C LED-based seed treatment machine aimed at enhancing seed quality by the extermination of pathogens. The research covers design choices, including a round irradiation pattern, consisting of two rings with three and nine LEDs for the inner and outer ring respectively, the use of a quartz...

UVC Seed Sterilization BSc Thesis: LED Driving and Sensing Unit

This thesis describes the design and implementation of a LED Driving and Sensing Unit, one of the parts of a UV-C LED sterilization machine for the disinfection of plant seeds. The purpose of this part is to drive LEDs which can destroy different structures of pathogens. While doing this, certain parameters like temperature and ozone generation...

UV-C Sterilizer for the Wireless Powerlizer

The effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for disinfection has been well-known for more than a century. Recent advances in light­-emitting diode (LED) technology have brought UV LEDs to the consumer market. These offer many advantages over traditional gas­-discharge lamps, allowing UV radiation to be generated with higher reliability in...
