CONTINUOUS DISINFECTION DEVICE

A continuous disinfection device (10) for removing pathogens from an airspace including a housing (12) having an air intake (14) and output (16) and containing a treatment chamber (20). The treatment chamber (20) has inner boundary walls (20t, 20b, 20w, 20r) protectively surrounding a source of ultr...

Zusammenfassung:A continuous disinfection device (10) for removing pathogens from an airspace including a housing (12) having an air intake (14) and output (16) and containing a treatment chamber (20). The treatment chamber (20) has inner boundary walls (20t, 20b, 20w, 20r) protectively surrounding a source of ultraviolet UVC irradiance (30) and an internal volume measured on a basis of a unit size of 0.028 cubic meter. An air flow management system (40) between the inner boundary walls (20t, 20b, 20w, 20r) and the source of ultraviolet UVC irradiance (30) to provide an exposure slot (42s) having a cross-sectional area receiving at least 20 kWatts/m2. A fan (50) draws air through the treatment chamber (20). The cross-sectional area of the exposure slot (42s) provides all drawn air with at least 360 milliseconds of dwell time within the exposure slot (42s) to produce treated air with at least 99.99% of pathogens eradicated while maintaining a throughput of about 120 units of air per minute drawn through the pathogen removal system.
