ROOM FOGGING DISINFECTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for disinfecting a room, the system comprising:
- an enclosure including first and second air inlets;
an air intake control assembly configured for selectable control of air flow between an exterior and an interior of the enclosure through the first and second air inlets;
a filter assembly disposed relative to the second air inlet such that air that flows between the exterior and interior of the enclosure through the second air inlet passes through the filter assembly;
an air dispersion outlet including a fan configured to draw air into the enclosure through the first and second air inlets and to force air out of the enclosure;
a chemical dispersion assembly configured to generate a disinfecting fog relative to the air dispersion outlet; and
a system controller configured to open the first air inlet and activate the fan to disperse the disinfecting fog into the room, and subsequently close the first air inlet to draw the disinfecting fog from the room and through the filter assembly.

Abstract
A system for disinfecting a room includes an enclosure having first and second air inlets and an air intake control assembly to selectably control air flow into the enclosure through the first and second air inlets. Air that flows between the exterior and interior of the enclosure through the second air inlet passes through a filter assembly. The enclosure also includes an air dispersion outlet having a fan that draws air into the enclosure through the first and second air inlets and forces air out of the enclosure. A chemical dispersion assembly generates a disinfecting fog relative to the fan. A system controller controls the air intake control assembly to disperse the disinfecting fog into the room, and subsequently draw the disinfecting fog from the room and through the filter assembly.

11. A method for disinfecting a room, the method comprising:
-
generating a disinfecting fog from an enclosure including a first air inlet, a second air inlet, and an air dispersion outlet including a fan configured to draw air into the enclosure through the first and second air inlets and to force air out of the enclosure, the enclosure further including a filter assembly disposed relative to the second air inlet such that air that flows between the exterior and interior of the enclosure through the second air inlet passes through the filter assembly; actuating an air intake control assembly to open the first air inlet; activating the fan to draw air through the first air inlet and out of the air dispersion outlet to disperse the fog into the room; actuating the air intake control assembly to close the first air inlet to draw the fog from the room through the second air inlet and the filter assembly; and deactivating the fan. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for disinfecting a room, the system comprising:
-
an enclosure including first and second air inlets; a plurality of controllable louvers arranged to control of air flow between an exterior and an interior of the enclosure through the first air inlet; a vapor destruction assembly disposed relative to the second air inlet such that air that flows between the exterior and interior of the enclosure through the second air inlet passes through the vapor destruction assembly; an air dispersion outlet including a fan configured to draw air into the enclosure through the first and second air inlets and to force air out of the enclosure; a chemical dispersion assembly configured to generate a disinfecting fog relative to the air dispersion outlet; and a system controller configured to open the first plurality of louvers and activate the fan to disperse the disinfecting fog into the room, and to subsequently close the first plurality of louvers and activate the fan to draw the disinfecting fog from the room and through the vapor destruction assembly. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
