Integrated fogging system providing atomized solution to an enclosed treatment area and related methods

Abstract

A system for disinfecting an enclosed area having an access door with an atomized disinfectant fluid may include a fogging device including a housing and an atomizing disinfectant generator carried by the housing including an atomizing nozzle in fluid communication with a disinfectant fluid reservoir, and a compressor coupled to the atomizing nozzle. The fogging device may further include a processor, and the system may further include a controller configured to selectively actuate an electronic door lock actuator to lock and unlock the access door. The processor may be configured to communicate with the controller to initiate an automated disinfection treatment cycle during which the compressor dispenses atomized disinfectant fluid into the enclosed area via the atomizing nozzle while the access door is locked, and to not dispense atomized disinfectant fluid into the enclosed area while the access door is unlocked.
