Abstract
A sanitization apparatus includes an excimer lamp, a power converter configured to power the excimer lamp and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor an impedance of the excimer lamp and vary an output voltage waveform of the power converter based upon the impedance.
Claims20
A sanitization apparatus comprising:
- an excimer lamp;
- a power converter configured to power the excimer lamp;
- and
- a controller configured to monitor an impedance of the excimer lamp and vary an output voltage waveform of the power converter based upon the impedance.

A sanitization apparatus comprising:
- an excimer lamp;
- a power converter configured to power the excimer lamp;
- and
- a control unit having a processor;
- and
- a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the control unit to perform operations comprising:
- generating a first voltage waveform with the power converter;
- powering the excimer lamp with the first voltage waveform;
- monitoring an impedance of the excimer lamp;
- detecting that the impedance of the excimer lamp is outside of a threshold envelope;
- generating a second voltage waveform with the power converter;
- and
- powering the excimer lamp with the second voltage waveform.
