Systems and methods for batch processing air taken from a populated environment to destroy pathogens and then reintroduce the air into the populated environment

A system for batch processing untreated air taken from a populated environment to destroy pathogens contained therein, comprising:

• a multi-chamber treatment system coupled between at least one air return vent of the populated environment and at least one supply vent providing treated air into the populated environment, the system and further including a circular housing including four wall partitions operable to rotate 360 degrees within a continuous inner wall of the circular housing, the four wall partitions defining:
• a filling chamber coupled to the at least one air return vent of the populated environment and operable to receive the untreated air therefrom;
• an expressing chamber including components operable to treat the untreated air to destroy any pathogens contained in the untreated air and convert the untreated air to the treated air;
• a relaxing chamber operable to allow the treated air previously treated in a treatment compartment to stabilize;
• and
• an exhausting chamber coupled to at least one of an air conditioning system serving the populated environment or the at least one supply vent providing the treated air back into the populated environment;
• and
• rubber incorporated onto edges of the four wall partitions operable to interface with the continuous interior wall of the circular housing as the four wall partitions are rotated to move untreated and treated air from the filling chamber through exhausting chamber and create a seal between the filling chamber, the expressing chamber, the relaxing chamber and the exhausting chamber as the four wall partitions are rotated.

A method for batch processing untreated air taken from a populated environment to destroy pathogens contained therein, comprising:

• providing a multi-chamber treatment system coupled between at least one air return vent of the populated environment and at least one supply vent providing treated air into the populated environment, the system further including a filling chamber coupled to the at least one air return vent, an expressing chamber including air treatment components operable to treat the untreated air to destroy any pathogens contained in the untreated air and convert the untreated air to the treated air, a relaxing chamber operable to allow the treated air previously treated in a treatment compartment to stabilize, and an exhausting chamber coupled to at least one of an air conditioning system serving the populated environment or the at least one supply vent providing the treated air back into the populated environment;
• receiving untreated air into the filling chamber from the at least one air return vent;
• providing the untreated air from the filling chamber to the expressing chamber wherein it is treated by the air treatment components to destroy pathogens contained therein;
• providing air treated in the expressing chamber by the air treatment components to the relaxing chamber as treated air wherein the treated air stabilizes;
• and
• providing the treated air from the relaxing chamber to the exhausting chamber wherein the treated air is returned to the populated environment via at least one of an air conditioning system serving the populated environment or the at least one supply vent.
