Abstract: A ultraviolet (UV) sterilization lamp, a UV sterilization module, and an air conditioner including a UV sterilization module are provided. The UV sterilization module may include a porous frame, a portion of which may be a mesh so as to allow a fluid to pass therethrough; a plurality of UV lamps provided on the mesh of the porous frame and including an external electrode on an outer surface thereof; a power supply connected to the plurality of UV lamps to supply power to the plurality of UV lamps; and a plurality of fixing portions configured to support the plurality of UV lamps and fixed to the porous frame. The plurality of fixing portions may be arranged to be spaced from each other such that the plurality of UV lamps may be arranged with a constant spacing. The constant spacing may be a shortest distance of about 8 cm or less to connect outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of UV lamps adjacent to each other.

Abstract: An air conditioner is provided that may include a main body having an air inlet and an air outlet defined therein; a filter received in the main body to filter air suctioned into the main body; a heat exchanger configured to perform a heat exchange between a refrigerant and the air suctioned into the main body; and an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization module configured to sterilize the air suctioned into the main body. The UV sterilization module may include a porous main body in a mesh form, and a plurality of UV lamps. The porous main body may include a bent portion to allow the porous main body to conform to a shape of the heat exchanger. The main body may include a chassis, and a front frame at a front of the chassis. An inner space may be defined between the chassis and the front frame. The porous main body may be coupled to at least one of the chassis or the front frame, and the plurality of UV lamps may be arranged to be spaced from each other between the air inlet and the heat exchanger.

Abstract: An ultraviolet (UV) sterilization lamp, a UV sterilization module, and an air conditioner including a UV sterilization module are provided. The UV sterilization lamp may include a lamp body having an outer diameter defined by an outer surface thereof, an inner diameter defining an internal space, and a length that extends at least in a lengthwise direction of the UV sterilization lamp; an emission material that fills the internal space so as to generate at least UV rays; and an external electrode provided on the outer surface of the lamp body so as to discharge the emission material. The inner diameter of the lamp body may be at least about 0.7 mm.
