Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PURIFIED OR OZONE ENRICHED AIR TO REMOVE CONTAMINANTS FROM OBJECTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000006209
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for producing purified or ozone enriched air to remove contaminants from objects is accomplished by a system in which air is drawn in as a stream into the system and flows through ozone generating (8) and germicidal chambers (16). An ozone generating ultraviolet radiation source (12) disposed within the ozone chamber (8) emits UV radiation having a wavelength approximately 185 nanometers to irradiate the air and generate ozone. The ozone chamber is typically configured to include winding or other types of air flow paths to mix the ozone with the air. The ozonated air enters a germicidal chamber (16) including a germicidal UV radiation source (14) (e.g., emitting radiation having a wavelength of approximately 254 nanometers) that irradiates the ozonated air to destroy contaminants and to catalyse the ozone for enhanced removal of odor causing elements from the air stream.
