US 2008/0279733 A1 · APPARATUS FOR AIR DISINFECTION IN VENTILATION SYSTEM

Abstract

An irradiation module apparatus 100 for use in a duct or conduit 10 of an air ventilation system preferably has a separation panel 1; an electronic module 2 for storing a ballast and electronic components mount on an external side of the separation panel 1; an irradiation module 5 comprised of a germicidal lamp 3 in a substantially parabolic reflector 4, the reflector 4 having an aperture 43 for passing filtered air from an air filter module 6, the lamp 3, reflector 4, and an air filter module 6 all being supported on an internal side of the separation panel 1; and wherein upon assembly to the conduit 10, the irradiation module apparatus 100 is passed into an opening 9 cut in the conduit 10 until the separation panel 1 can cover the opening 9 and be fastened to conduit 10, thereby positioning the irradiation module 5 and the filter module 6 in the air path of the conduit 10 or duct.

Dependent claims

An irradiation module apparatus for use in a duct or conduit of an air ventilation system comprises:

a separation panel;
an electronic module for storing a ballast and electronic components mount on an external side of the separation panel;
an irradiation module having a germicidal lamp enclosed in a substantially parabolic reflector, the reflector having an aperture for passing filtered air from an air filter module, the irradiation module and an air filter module all being supported on an internal side of the separation panel;
smooth panels enclosing irradiation module and filter module, the smooth panels are attached to the separation panel on one side and to end panel on another side, and to the reflector in the front and to the filter module in the back;
and wherein upon assembly to the conduit, the irradiation module apparatus is passed into an opening in the conduit until the separation panel can cover the opening and be fastened to conduit, thereby positioning the irradiation module and filter module being suspended in the air path of the conduit or duct, at sufficient distance from the surface of the conduit or duct to establish even stream conditions along both smooth panels to keep peripherals of the reflector clean, and to maintain high germicidal efficiency.
