Characteristic of the invention is that hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is discharged / passed from one or more containers (16) with liquid pressure which one or more pumps or gravity provides through one or more drain pipes (6) to one or more drainage devices (5). The draining device (5) drains the hydrogen peroxide on one or more evaporative top surfaces (4ea) of an evaporating means (4e) in a heating / heating device (4). The evaporation surface (4ea) is at an evaporation angle (4ej) of 1 to 30 degrees so that the end towards the draining device (5) is higher up, whereby the hydrogen peroxide spreads on the evaporator (4e), where the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is converted to hydrogen. . The hydrogen peroxide gas is used to perform the disinfection. Air flow above the evaporation surface (4ea) of the evaporator in the heating / heating device (4) is faster than below the evaporation surface (4ea).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, it is purified with dilute hydrogen peroxide by spraying. the substance directly into the object (s) to be cleaned.

The problem is immobility, not migration everywhere. Corrosion effect because hydrogen peroxide is corrosive in liquid form. It is difficult to adjust the amount of hydrogen peroxide 25 because it is impossible to apply hydrogen peroxide evenly to the surface to be cleaned. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is uneven, resulting in varying purification times. Inaccurate dosing near the humidity point results in condensation of hydrogen peroxide back into a liquid, leaving liquid hydrogen peroxide in the object to be cleaned, which corrodes the object to be cleaned. Today, purification with hydrogen30 peroxide is a slow, inaccurate and therefore expensive job. In addition, part of the object to be cleaned is not cleaned evenly or at all.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is intended that the disinfection be performed with hydrogen peroxide gas (H2O2) so that no corrosion occurs because hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is not corrosive in the gaseous state.

The above drawbacks can be eliminated and the above-mentioned object is achieved by the disinfection method according to the invention, which is characterized by what is defined in the characterizing part of claim 1 and preferred embodiments of the method are the subject of claims 2-8. The disinfection device according to the invention is characterized by what is defined in the characterizing part of claim 9, and preferred embodiments of the fastening member are the subject of dependent claims 10-11.

The main advantages of the invention are that the disinfection method according to the invention provides an accurate dosing of hydrogen peroxide gas to the object to be cleaned.

The air flow above the evaporation surface is faster than the air flow below, whereby hydrogen peroxide gasifies rapidly because the faster air flow above tends to absorb evaporating hydrogen peroxide. The air flow above the evaporation surface is colder than the air flow below, which creates air flow vortices above the evaporator of the support. turbulence that accelerates the gasification of hydrogen peroxide. It is clear that the use of the invented disinfection method achieves great cost savings in cleaning.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (Wikipedia) https: //f1.wikipedia.0rg/wiki/Hydrogenper0oxide#Theme_other

Hydrogen peroxide (sometimes hydrogen peroxide) H ₂ O ₂ is another oxide of hydrogen with CAS number 7722-84-1. Another, more familiar hydrogen oxide is water (H ₂ O). Featuresfedit edit wiki text]

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent. It decomposes into water and oxygen when heated, releasing energy in the process at the same time. Some metals and impurities act as catalysts in the decomposition process. Hydrogen peroxide fluid can be stabilized with, for example, phosphoric, sulfuric, boric or citric acid, acetanilide or acetophenethidine when it is desired to slow down the decomposition process.

Hydrogen peroxide below 85% does not burn, but is a highly oxidizing substance, as hydrogen peroxide together with a combustible substance poses a serious risk of combustion or explosion. Hydrogen peroxide above 85% burns on decomposition with a blue flame, i.e. its decomposition reaction is different from that of more dilute hydrogen peroxide solutions.

Upon decomposition, hydrogen peroxide is converted to water and oxygen:

H ₂ O ₂ 2 H ₂ O + O ₂ .

Hydrogen peroxide is unstable and decomposes spontaneously, but the reaction is very slow. The reaction can be accelerated by using a catalyst (e.g. manganese dioxide). In hydrogen peroxide the oxygen oxidation number is -I, in the decomposition products 0 (O ₂ ) and -II (H ₂ O). Thus, a disproportionation occurs in the reaction, in which the oxidation number both increases and decreases.

The bleaching and disinfecting ability of hydrogen peroxide is based on the 30 highly reactive free oxygen atoms formed in the decomposition reaction.

Applications

Hydrogen peroxide has been used, among other things, as a fuel oxidizer for launch vehicles.

20187120 prh 09 -09- 2018

In industry, hydrogen peroxide is used, among other things, for bleaching pulp and textiles and as a disinfectant in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Hydrogen peroxide used by industry usually contains either 35 or 50 percent hydrogen peroxide, but other strengths are available. Hydrogen peroxide from 30 to 59 percent can be in the lower 5 transport classes. 100% hydrogen peroxide can also be used for disinfection.

At low concentrations (less than 5%), hydrogen peroxide is used in cosmetics, for example, in hair bleaching, and, for example, as contact lens cleaning solutions and in wound disinfection. The disinfectability is based on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide when the blood acts as a catalyst. The oxygen released kills bacteria. ^121.31

Hydrogen peroxide is used quite extensively today because its potential release into the air or otherwise into nature causes only short-term harm. Once released, it decomposes fairly quickly into water and oxygen, and thus does not cause long-term problems for the environment or the population.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE USE OF THE INVENTION

The cleaning of the surfaces to be disinfected is carried out with one or more disinfecting devices according to the invention. Prior to disinfection, the items to be disinfected must be cleaned mechanically, using known techniques, if possible, for example, food or other porous items may be difficult to clean mechanically.

The disinfector (s) are placed in an enclosed space, normal room height, for example a 2.5m container or room. The room should have good ventilation, to which a fan and filter unit, known for ventilating the premises of buildings, is connected. Several air condition control devices are placed in the room to stabilize the humidity level, which are devices known for controlling the air conditions in the premises of buildings, e.g. laboratories where air temperature, humidity and purity are controlled and closely monitored. The disinfector (s) are placed in the room. The disinfection device (s) are started remotely by known technology. The disinfection process is automatic and takes from hours to days or days, depending on the condition of the room, the duration of the process depends on the object to be cleaned. After disinfection, the room is ventilated to the outside air through known filters. The cleaned equipment / items are ready to be moved for further action.
