Claims12
An enhanced decontamination enclosure for treating at least one object, comprising:
- a treatment chamber having a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet;
- an ultrasonic aerosol generator having a generator inlet and a generator outlet, said ultrasonic aerosol generator emits an airborne treatment substance into said treatment chamber through said generator outlet and into said chamber inlet for treating the at least one object;
- at least one blower communicating with said treatment chamber;
- an inlet port includes an inlet port input, inlet port output and a heater, said inlet port output communicates with said generator outlet, said heater is capable of heating gas drawn through said inlet port input, wherein said inlet port is closed when the at least one object is being treated in said treatment chamber;
- an outlet port includes an outlet port input, outlet port output and an outlet port blower;
- and
- an outlet port input valve, an inlet port output valve, aerosol generator input valve and an aerosol generator output valve, wherein said outlet port input valve and said inlet port output valve are open and said aerosol generator input valve and said aerosol generator output valve are closed when drying said treatment chamber.
