Methods and systems for dispersing decontamination products
First Claim
1. An electrostatic spraying system for decontamination of a vehicle, said system comprising:
- a wheeled platform sized to fit inside a galley cart storage area of the vehicle;
at least one tank operable to contain one or more decontaminants, said at least one tank supported by said wheeled platform;
at least one manually operated electrostatic nozzle in communication with said at least one tank;
a plurality of automatic electrostatic nozzles attached to said wheeled platform, wherein each said automatic electrostatic nozzle can be positioned for distribution of the decontaminants in at least one pre-determined direction, wherein said plurality of automatic nozzles are configured to move in one or more dimensions to be selectively stowable within said wheeled platform as said plurality of automatic nozzles remain attached to said wheeled platform;
an electrostatic charging system connected to at least one of said at least one manually operated electrostatic nozzle and said plurality of automatic electrostatic nozzles for applying an electrostatic charge to the decontaminants as the decontaminants are dispersed; and
at least one compressor in communication with said at least one tank for pressurizing the decontaminants, said at least one compressor capable of providing a pressure sufficient to provide a constant distribution of the decontaminants through at least one of said at least one manually operated electrostatic nozzle and said plurality of automatic electrostatic nozzles.

Abstract
An electrostatic spraying system for decontamination of a vehicle is described. The system includes a wheeled platform sized to fit inside the vehicle, at least one tank operable to contain one or more decontaminant agents, the tanks supported by said wheeled platform, a plurality of nozzles affixed to the wheeled platform, wherein each nozzle is positioned for distribution of the decontaminant agents in at least one pre-determined direction, an electrostatic charging system connected to each of the nozzles for applying an electrostatic charge to the decontaminant agents as the agents are dispersed, and at least one compressor in communication with the tanks for pressurizing the decontaminant agents. The one or more compressors are capable of providing a pressure sufficient to provide a constant distribution of the decontaminant agents through the electrostatic nozzles.

15. An aircraft decontamination system comprising:
-
a wheeled platform sized to fit within a galley cart storage area of an aircraft; a canister mounted within said wheeled platform operable to contain decontaminants; a compressor mounted within said wheeled platform operable to apply a pressure to the decontaminants within said canister; a plurality of automatic nozzles attached to said wheeled platform and fluidly coupled to said canister, wherein each said automatic nozzle can be positioned for distribution of the decontaminants in at least one pre-determined direction, wherein said plurality of automatic nozzles are configured to move in one or more dimensions to be selectively stowable within said wheeled platform as said plurality of automatic nozzles remain attached to said wheeled platform; an electrostatic charging system operatively attached to said automatic nozzles for applying an electrostatic charge to droplets of the decontaminants as the decontaminants are dispersed; and a manually operated nozzle attached to said canister. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
