Claim 0:
1. A system for processing air for the removal of pathogens, the system comprising:
a housing having an air inlet for receiving contaminated air to be processed and a discharge air outlet for discharging processed air;
a delay chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the delay chamber comprising RF transparent material forming a labyrinth of alternating passages, the delay chamber arranged within the housing between the air inlet and discharge air outlet;
a first magnetron adjacent the inlet of the delay chamber and a second magnetron adjacent the outlet of the delay chamber, the first and second magnetrons generating microwave radiation directed into the labyrinth of the delay chamber;
a first UVC energy source adjacent the inlet of the delay chamber for exposing contaminated air to UVC energy before passing through the delay chamber; and
a second UVC energy source adjacent the outlet of the delay chamber for exposing air exiting from the delay chamber to UVC energy before exiting the housing through the discharge air outlet.
