SIMULACIÓN DE ILUMINACIÓN DE RADIACIÓN UV-C EN SALAS DE HOSPITAL: ANÁLISIS DE SUPERFICIES CRÍTICAS EN FUNCIÓN DE LOS MATERIALES DE CONSTRUCCIÓN Y LA GEOMETRÍA DE LA SALA
Resumen
La iluminación UV-C ocupa un lugar cada vez más importante en la investigación destinada a la desinfección de entornos, incluidos los hospitales. La relación entre los materiales de construcción y la correcta distribución volumétrica del entorno hospitalario demuestra que pequeñas modificaciones en estudios como este pueden tener un impacto significativo. Este trabajo pretende realizar una simulación de la iluminación UV-C mediante el software Dialux Evo. Mediante la inserción de datos de luminarias con espectro UV-C específico, se generan mapas, gráficos y datos que permiten realizar análisis del entorno, comparando las características físicas de los materiales, como el grado de reflexión y la duplicación, y su contribución a la eficacia de la tecnología UV-C como agente actínico. La selección de las mejores características de los materiales en el entorno, así como su composición en general, no es el objetivo de este trabajo; sirve de base para la inserción de datos sobre su composición. Esta investigación sugiere ajustes volumétricos que han demostrado una importante relación con una mejor distribución de la irradiación. Fue necesario ajustar las unidades, adaptando las características del software que proporciona datos en lux y correlacionándolos con la irradiancia en mW/m². A través de los datos recopilados con la simulación, fue posible identificar el tiempo de exposición necesario para la iluminación germicida en hasta 1 minuto y 4 segundos.
