Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation system
First Claim
1. A modular germicidal light grid system for use inside a plenum containing a cooling apparatus, the modular germicidal light grid system comprising:
- a support assembly comprising;
at least one elongate first member; and
at least one elongate second member mounted and positioned substantially perpendicular to the at least one elongate first member;
at least one lamp assembly, each lamp assembly constructed and arranged to mount to a portion of the at least one elongate second member of the support assembly at a predetermined position, each lamp assembly comprising a respective housing defining at least one socket; and
at least one linear germicidal light source, each light source having a longitudinal axis and a distal end constructed and arranged to mount within one socket of the housing,wherein at least one of the at least one elongate first and second members is connected to a portion of the plenum, wherein the at least one elongate first member and the at least one elongate second member are positioned within a common plane, and wherein each lamp assembly is constructed and arranged to mount to a portion of the at least one elongate second member such that the longitudinal axis of the at least one linear light source extends at an acute light angle relative to the common plane.

Abstract
A modular germicidal light grid system for use inside an air treatment apparatus that has a plenum in which a stream of air is enclosed. The system comprises at least one elongate member and at least one lamp assembly. Each lamp assembly comprises a housing defining at least one socket and is mounted to one elongate member at a predetermined position. The system further comprises at least one linear germicidal light source. Each light source has a longitudinal axis and a distal end constructed and arranged to mount within one socket of the housing. The elongate member is mounted within the plenum and the lamp assembly is mounted to the elongate member such that the longitudinal axis of the light source extends therein the stream of air and is positioned at an acute light angle relative to the direction of flow of the stream of air.
