The present invention relates to a device for isolating and cleaning contaminated components comprising a chamber, an entrance door through which components to be isolated and cleaned are introducible into the chamber, means configured to deliver washing solution into the chamber and onto the components to be cleaned, a drying system configured to dry the chamber as well as its content, wherein the device further comprises an exhaust filter system attached to the air exhaust of the chamber, the exhaust filter system comprising a pipe, at least one filter and a blower, the exhaust filter system being configured to be able to bring the chamber under a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure by means of the blower all the time the chamber is closed. The present invention also relates to a corresponding method for isolating and cleaning contaminated components with the aforementioned device.

A method of disinfecting a surface that is contaminated with a virus or suspected of contamination with a virus, including: producing a reactive gas by forming a high-voltage cold plasma (HVCP) from a working gas with a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system at a voltage of 20 kV to 150 kV; transporting the reactive gas at least 1 meter away from the HVCP; followed by contacting the surface with the reactive gas.

A rack for sanitizing or cleaning medical or personal protective equipment is claimed herein. The rack has at least two stringers that run the length of the rack. The rack has at least two vertical grates that are spaced apart from each other along the stringers. The spacing between the grates will be sufficient such that a standard respiratory mask (e.g. N95) may be placed between two adjacent grates and be held in a vertical orientation.

Provided is a device that uses ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals to sterilize, detoxify and purify indoor air, while simultaneously removing radon gas. The device is provided with a condensing unit (10) having a Peltier structure, and further provided with a device (2) that discharges electricity and generates ozone. The device further has an ultraviolet lamp (9) and a titanium dioxide coating for creating a titanium dioxide physical environment. The device is also provided with generation boxes (3, 5). Ultrasonic waves are used to electrolyze a liquid, such as water, hydrogen peroxide or oxygen, in the generation boxes (3, 5), so as to further generate hydroxyl radicals.

The present invention relates to a disinfection system comprising a plurality of replaceable containers, to contain a solution comprising a disinfecting agent, conduits leading from the containers to a manifold, misting apparatus to generate a mist containing the disinfecting agent and to release the mist via exit conduits, through at least one exit vent, wherein the manifold comprises a plenum which receives a volume of air for controlling balance of air pressure as the air is released through the at least one exit vent. The present invention also relates to a method of controlling use of a disinfection system.

Described is a method for cleaning a tunnel-shaped container-processing machine, in particular a tunnel pasteurizer, and a container-processing machine designed accordingly, in particular a tunnel pasteuriser, for beverage bottles or similar containers. Since hydroxyl radicals are produced mechanically in process water for the container-processing machine the tunnel pasteuriser and/or are introduced into same, and organic impurities present in the container-processing machine in the tunnel pasteuriser are also mineralized by the hydroxyl radicals in the process water, microorganisms based thereon can be removed more easily and in addition their nutrient basis removed from them.

A droplet bandpass filter and method of modifying droplet size distribution of a population of droplets suspended in a gas. Droplets suspended in a gas are flowed through a bandpass filter having a tortuous pathway which comprises at least one impactor region located at a position adjacent to a flow direction change. Larger droplets impact at the impactor region while smaller droplets remain suspended in the gas and flow in the first output direction. Other flow restrictors may advantageously be included in the tortuous pathway. The filter is particularly useful in delivering sterilant aerosols (e.g. peroxides) with reduced populations of large droplets.

An air sterilizing device, comprising: a housing (100), forming an air flow path thereon; an ozone generating unit (200), generating ozone particles to be supplied to the air flow path; a filter cartridge (300), receiving ozone generated by the ozone generating unit (200) to discharge bubbles comprising ozone and hydroxyl radicals; an ultrasonic generating unit (400), connected to the filter cartridge (300) to generate ultrasonic waves; an air supply fan (500), configured to supply air to the air flow path of the housing (100); and a power supply unit, configured to supply power for driving the ozone generating unit (200), the ultrasonic generating unit (400), and the air supply fan (500).

A cover assembly is configured for disinfecting an air conditioning unit. The assembly includes a cover made of a pliable material that is shaped to be installed on the inside portion of an air conditioning unit. The assembly also includes an ozone generator configured to direct ozone into the air conditioning unit. A controller is operatively coupled to the ozone generator and is configured to control operation of the ozone generator.

An ozone injector device comprising a housing, a corona tube disposed within the housing and configured to generate ozone, a check-valve having a first end removably coupled to the water passageway and having a valve seat and a second end configured to receive ozone, the second end having a cavity with a movable float contained therein, an ozone inlet fitting removably coupled to the second end of the check-valve, the ozone inlet being in fluid communication with the corona tube via a corona discharge tube such that ozone entering the water passageway through the ozone inlet must pass through the check valve, and a spring-loaded clearing piston positioned to move into and out of the water passageway directly opposite the ozone inlet, the clearing piston being biased upwards, towards to the ozone inlet, and configured to prevent flow of ozone into the water passageway.
