- a system according to one aspect of the present invention for disinfecting air in air-conditioning systems comprises a chamber (1) having an inlet (2) and an outlet (3) for connection to an air-conditioning duct.
- the inlet (2) can be provided with a fan (4), but this is not essential where the air-conditioning system itself provides adequate air flow.
- the chamber (1) is also provided with a deflection plate (20) adjacent to the inlet (2) so as to dissipate and cause turbulence in the air entering the chamber and thereby reduce any "dead spots" in the chamber where bacteria can promulgate.
- the chamber (1) is provided with mounting brackets (6) at spaced intervals, to which are mounted ultra-violet lamps (7).
- the ultra-violet lamps are longitudinal and arranged along the length of the chamber so that air passing through the chamber from the inlet to outlet passes along the length of the lamps.
- the lamps are preferably 30 watts, although lamps in the range of 30 to 250 watts are utilized and are controlled from a control box (8) powered from a power supply (9).
- the chamber (1) is preferably made of polished stainless steel plating so as to reflect the ultra-violet light back into the chamber. Alternatively, any appropriate, UV-resistant, reflective material could be used for the inner surface of the chamber (1).
- UV lamps also produce a small amount of ozone. This also has a beneficial effect in disinfecting the air.
- other UV lamps which do not produce ozone could also be utilized in this system.
- Disinfectant System (10) comprises a chamber (1); first baffle means (20); UV lamps (7); and second baffle means (30).
- disinfectant system (10) is preferably mounted in the duct work of a ventilation system, downstream of fan (4).
- Fig. 3 is a graph showing the variation of air velocity at a position downstream of fan (4) in a section of ventilation duct of the type well know in the art. Specifically, as shown in Fig.3, the distribution of air velocity across the transverse dimension of a typical duct is not uniform.
- Fig. 3 depicts the velocity profile in a typical duct of the type known in the art measured from a position downstream of the fan, with the air stream directed normal to the plane of the diagram.
- the velocity diagram of Fig. 3 would be characteristic of a rotary (propeller-type) fan of known construction oriented with its axis of rotation normal to the plane of the figure and rotating in a clockwise direction.
- Fig. 3 represents the velocity profile when viewed in a downstream direction along the duct.
- the Y axis of Fig. 3 depicts the transverse position across the duct, whereas the verticle axis depicts the relative velocity, in arbitrary units.
- This type of circulation pattern can result in short circuiting of the air flow in the duct work and the deposition of dust particles in low velocity areas. It compounds the difficulty in disinfecting the air passing through the duct work. The eddy effect could result in reinfection of the air stream in typical disinfection systems. Moreover, this type of air flow
- disinfectant system (10) comprises first baffle means (20).
- the function of first baffle means is to break the flow of air established by the fan. Specifically, the first baffle redistributes the air to achieve a more even cross-sectional velocity downstream of first baffle (20).
- first baffle redistributes the air across the plenum, resulting in a more efficient distribution of velocity and pressure than is obtained in prior art systems.
- the extent of the boundary layer effect is reduced substantially. A more even distribution of velocity across the transverse width of the chamber is achieved.
- first baffle (20) has first apertures (22) formed therein. Further, as shown in Fig. 6, first apertures (22) have
- first apertures (22) are approximately 4 millimeter in diameter.
- first baffle means (20) has a plurality of first apertures (22) formed therein.
- first baffle means further comprises a
- deflector means (24) formed in each first aperture to deflect the flow of air and impart a rolling motion to the particles entrained in the air stream.
- deflector means (24) comprised tap threads formed in apertures (22). As embodied herein, 3 threads per aperture are provided and the threads are preferably spaced apart by a distance of 1 millimeter and are .3 millimeters in depth.
- first baffle (20 and, in particular, in the apertures (22) and the deflector means (24) of the present invention can be made in first baffle (20 and, in particular, in the apertures (22) and the deflector means (24) of the present invention, without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention.
- the apertures are dimensioned so that placement of vane deflectors of the type known in the art in the apertures (22) would be difficult. Accordingly threads are used to deflect the air stream. If the apertures (22) formed in first baffle means (20) are made to be roughly 40
- deflector vanes of various configurations could be placed in apertures (22) to impart a rolling motion to the air flow.
- First baffle (20) is preferably a polyethylene sheet, approximately 50-60 mm thick.
- Alternative materials can also be used for first baffle.
- any suitable UV resistant material capable of creating the requisite head loss for the given flow characteristics could be used provided the effect shown in Fig. 4 is substantially achieved.
- first baffle could adopt a different configuration.
- Drift eliminat rs of a type known in the art could also be used in conjunction with the present invention.
- Brentwood Industries manufactures drift eliminators for cooling towers, which are sold in the trade under the designations DE-080 and DE-120. These devices employ a series of sinusoidal blades. The present inventors believe that these devices could function as first baffle of the present invention. Thus, it is intended that the present
- baffle means (20) has a concave shape, when viewed from the upstream direction (2).
- first baffle means (22) increases the velocity of air stream at the
- first baffle means (20) help create a rolling motion at each aperture and in part, this rolling motion to dust particles passing through first baffle means (20). This rolling motion
- first baffle means (20) is attached to chamber (1) by supports (26). After the air stream has passed through first baffle (20) and assumed the velocity distribution characteristic of Fig. 4, it passes through the central portion of the chamber in which the UV lamps (7) are mounted. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, UV lamps (7) are mounted in chamber (1) by mounting brackets (6).
- the disinfectant system of the present invention further compresses second baffle (30).
- second baffle (30) A preferred embodiment of second baffle (30) is shown in Fig. 9 and 10 as (30).
- An alternative embodiment of second baffle (30) is shown in Fig. 7.
- second baffle means (30) spirals around lamps (7) redirecting the air flow in a grossly laminar fashion around each lamp.
- second baffle means (30) achieves this effect while not interfering with the rolling motion imparted to the individual dust particles by first baffle means (20).
- a unique air flow is achieved as a result of the cooperation of first and second baffles with lamps (7) to achieve superior disinfecting action, and in particular, a
- the turbulence of a fluid flow can be depicted mathematically by a measure known as a Reynolds Number.
- a measure known as a Reynolds Number In a typical cross-section of air velocity in a duct of known type, such
- the turbulence of the air flow downstream a fan (4) can be characterized by Reynolds number in the range of ten-to-the-sixth to ten-to-the-seventh.
- first baffle (20) redistributes the air flow and reduces the turbulence to the range of ten-to-the-third and ten-to-the-fourth. This results in a flow that is characterized by the transitional range between laminar and turbulent air flow.
- second baffles (30) surrounding the lamps the redistribution of the air flow evens the flow slightly, reducing the turbulence to the range of approximately ten-to-the- third.
- both baffles are to maximize the contact between the UV light and all faces of individual dust particles.
- the spiral baffles (30) ensure that the areas around the lamps remain at optimal velocity, to prevent dust accumulation on the
- first and second baffles (20) and (30) respectively, achieve certain advantages.
- They break the fan velocity profile and create a more even distribution of air velocity across the transverse and verticle dimensions of the duct.
- deflectors
- first baffle means (24) of first baffle means (20) impart a rolling motion to the dust particles exiting the first baffle.
- a pilot disinfecting system of the present invention was built.

Abstract
On décrit un système désinfectant servant à désinfecter un courant d'air s'écoulant à travers une partie d'un conduit d'aération (1). Le système désinfectant comprend une première chicane (20) placée sensiblement dans le sens transversal du conduit (1) afin de redistribuer l'air. En particulier, la première chicane (20) redistribue de façon sensiblement régulière la vitesse et la pression du courant d'air dans le sens transversal du conduit. La première chicane présente une forme concave et est orientée de façon que la partie concave se trouve en aval (3). Cette chicane (20) comporte une multiplicité d'ouvertures (22) et des déflecteurs (24) sont installés dans les ouvertures (22) afin de produire un mouvement de roulis dans le courant d'air. La première chicane (20) réduit la turbulence du courant d'un écoulement en régime tourbillonnant à un écoulement en régine intermédiaire. Des lampes ultraviolettes (7) sont placées en aval par rapport à la première chicane (20) et sont alimentées par un dispositif d'alimentation en courant (9) et actionnées par un boîtier de commande (8). Les lampes (7) irradient le courant d'air afin de le désinfecter. Une seconde chicane (30) est placée en spirale autour des lampes (7) et réduit davantage la turbulence de l'écoulement d'air en un écoulement en régime sensiblement laminaire. La seconde chicane (30) produit un mouvement de roulis dans l'écoulement d'air autour des lampes (7), allonge le parcours du courant d'air autour des lampes (7) et augmente le temps d'exposition. De cette façon, les première et seconde chicanes (20) et (30) redistribuent l'air et modifient le courant d'air d'un écoulement en régime sensiblement tourbillonnant en aval de la première chicane (20) en un écoulement en régime sensiblement laminaire autour des lampes.
