Claims12
A disinfection device comprising:
- an electric turbine having a distal end and a proximate end, the proximate end including a hollow shaft, the electric turbine configured to spin the hollow shaft between 30,000 and 70,000 rpm;
- a rotatable bell cup including a distributor, the bell cup being removably fastened to the hollow shaft;
- an internal supply line positioned in the hollow shaft;
- a disinfection line connected to the internal supply line and configured to deliver a disinfectant to the bell cup such that the bell cup atomizes the disinfectant;
- a blower located proximate the electric turbine at the distal end, the blower configured to distribute the disinfectant after it has been atomized by the bell cup;
- a pump configured to convey the disinfectant from a source of disinfectant to the bell cup via the disinfection line, wherein the source of disinfectant is upstream from the pump and the bell cup is downstream from the pump;
- a bell cup valve positioned between pump and the bell cup;
- a fluid line connecting the pump to a receiving container;
- and
- a valve positioned along the fluid line between the pump and the receiving container.
