The present invention provides for a system for disinfecting air circulated in an HVAC system. The system includes at least one spray ring forming a continuous loop surrounding an outer surface of HVAC ductwork. The system further includes a plurality of spray nozzles connecting to each of the spray rings in the at least one spray ring, wherein each nozzle extends through an aperture in the HVAC ductwork, wherein a space between each nozzle and each aperture is sealed by a rubber gasket.

A system and a method for disinfecting air from airborne pathogens, for example, viruses, bacteria, etc., in an airflow system, are provided. One or more first reflectors reflect a high power, ultraviolet laser beam (UVLB) from an ultraviolet laser(s) into one or more airflow channels of the airflow system. One or more second reflectors are attached to internal surfaces of the airflow channel(s), in a free space optical connection to the first reflector(s), for reflecting the UVLB and increasing contact, utilization, and interaction of the UVLB with the airflow in the airflow channel(s) for irradiating and disinfecting the air therein. Air supply components on a ceiling blow the disinfected air from an airflow channel into an enclosed space for inhalation by occupants in the enclosed space, while air exhaust components on a floor exhaust air exhaled by the occupants into an airflow channel, thereby precluding cross-contamination in the enclosed space.
