Abstract
There is disclosed a sterilizing fog, characterized by droplet size range, vapor density range, sterilant concentration range and sterilant concentration within the droplets. Specifically, there is disclosed a fog achieved by an apparatus combining pressure, temperature and acoustics to form a super-charged ozoneated water and an apparatus that creates small micro droplets which form a highly concentrated sterilizing fog. Specific sterilants used are ozone, chlorine and chlorous acid generating compositions such as sodium hypochlorite, or combinations thereof.
Claims5
A sterilizing fog generator device for generating a sterilizing fog having droplets of an average diameter from about 0.0005 mm to about 0.05 mm, comprising:
- (a) an gas injector for injecting gas into water and having a venturi nozzle;
- and
- (b) a vapor cell communicating with the gas injector nozzle, wherein the vapor cell has a bottom and side walls and comprises an ultrasonic focused transducer located on the bottom of the vapor cell and wired to an electronic amplifier and an orifice directed toward a target for the sterilizing fog.
