Fogging system providing atomized solution to treatment area during a treatment cycle with a pulse phase

A fogging device for disinfecting an enclosed area with an atomized disinfectant fluid comprising:

• a housing;
• an atomizing disinfectant generator carried by the housing and comprising
• a disinfectant fluid reservoir,
• a compressor coupled to the disinfectant fluid reservoir, and
• an atomizing nozzle in fluid communication with the disinfectant fluid reservoir;
• and
• a first processor carried by the housing and coupled to the compressor and configured to perform a disinfection cycle during which the compressor is operated to dispense atomized disinfectant fluid from the disinfectant fluid reservoir into the enclosed area via the atomizing nozzle, the disinfection cycle including a saturation phase wherein the compressor operates to dispense atomized disinfectant fluid continuously to bring the enclosed area to a target saturation level and a pulse phase wherein the compressor operates to intermittently dispense atomized disinfectant fluid to maintain the enclosed area at the target saturation level.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor on a wireless communications device, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying at least one fogging device within the enclosed area, the at least one fogging device comprising a housing, an atomizing disinfectant generator carried by the housing and comprising a disinfectant fluid reservoir, a compressor coupled to the disinfectant fluid reservoir, and an atomizing nozzle in fluid communication with the disinfectant fluid reservoir, and a first wireless transceiver carried by the housing, the wireless communications device comprising a second transceiver configured to communicate with the first transceiver;
• and
• initiating a disinfection cycle during which the first processor causes its associated compressor to dispense atomized disinfectant fluid into the enclosed area via the atomizing nozzle, the disinfection cycle including a saturation phase wherein the compressor operates to dispense atomized disinfectant fluid continuously to bring the enclosed area to a target saturation level and a pulse phase wherein the compressor operates to intermittently dispense atomized disinfectant fluid to maintain the enclosed area at the target saturation level whereby pathogens within the enclosed area are killed during the disinfection cycle.
