Patent ID: 8497491

Claim:
An air disinfection device comprising: a body, wherein the body houses: a power supply; and a control unit, wherein the control unit comprises a storage capacitor, a high-voltage DC power supply, an ignition pulse generator, a ferrite-core pulse transformer, and a program control unit; and an ultraviolet radiation source mounted on the body, wherein the ultraviolet radiation source comprises a pulse gas discharge lamp enclosed in a tubular cooled casing, the tubular cooled casing being translucent to bactericidal radiation; wherein the storage capacitor and the pulse gas discharge lamp form a discharge circuit connected to the ignition pulse generator through the ferrite-core pulse transformer; wherein the tubular cooled casing has one or more upper orifices defined through the tubular cooled casing and one or more lower orifices defined through the tubular cooled casing; and wherein convection air cooling capabilities provided by a natural draft is operable to be produced inside the tubular cooled casing.
