System and method for uv based microorganism inactivation

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a UV based microorganism inactivation system, comprising: at least one UV source, configured to emit UV radiation; at least one UV sensor, located at a known location with respect to the at least one UV source; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive UV radiation measurements from the at least one UV sensor; receive information related to an internal space accommodating the at least one UV source and the at least one UV sensor; calculate the UV radiation dose at one or more locations in the internal space based on the received measurements, for a given starting time; receive an upper UV radiation dose threshold value; and control the at least one UV source to reduce the UV radiation if the maximal calculated UV radiation dose exceeds the upper UV radiation dose threshold value
