Patent ID: 7326387

Claim:
A decontamination device comprising: a housing defining an air inlet, an air outlet and a path for air to flow from the inlet to the outlet; a stationary filter positioned within the housing, along the path, the filter having an upstream side defining a plurality of adjacent, upstream facing chambers across the upstream side to receive air flowing along the path, and a downstream side defining a plurality of adjacent, upstream facing chambers across the downstream side for the exit of air from the filter to the path; a plurality of first stationary ultraviolet lamps, wherein at least some of the plurality of first lamps are at least partially within respective upstream facing chambers to directly and simultaneously illuminate the entirety of each of the respective upstream facing chambers; a plurality of second stationary ultraviolet lamps, wherein at least some of the plurality of second lamps are at least partially within respective downstream facing chambers to directly and simultaneously illuminate the entirety of each of the respective downstream facing chambers; and an ozone generator proximate the filter.
