Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reducing dosage time in ultraviolet germicidal irradiation systems. UV-C reflective adhesive film may be configured as sheets, or in a roll that may be cut to a desired size or shape. A user may apply UV-C reflective adhesive film to a desired surface of an interior room by exposing an adhesive surface to the desired interior surface. A reflective layer of the UV-C reflective adhesive film is configured to improve the reflectance percentage or reflectance pattern of a desired interior surface with respect to incident UV-C or near UV-C light. The improved reflectance properties of the desired surface functions to reflect a greater amount of light back to one or more closed-loop sensors in operation with a UV-C or near UV-C germicidal irradiation system. The improved reflectance thereby reduces the amount of time required for one or more closed-loop sensors in operation with a UV-C or near UV-C germicidal irradiation system to measure an effective kill-dose for surface disinfection.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for reducing dosage time in UV-C germicidal irradiation applications, the method comprising:\n applying a UV-C reflective adhesive film to a target surface of an interior room, the UV-C reflective adhesive film having one or more metallic elements having a reflectance percentage in the range of about 50% to about 90% for light wavelengths in the range of about 200 nanometers to about 500 nanometers; emitting, with one or more LED emitters, a desired intensity of short wavelength light in the range of about 265 nanometers to about 405 nanometers to the target surface of the interior room; receiving, with one or more short wavelength light sensors, reflected light from the target surface of the interior room; and, measuring, with one or more processors operably engaged with the one or more short wavelength light sensors, an effective dose of short wavelength light from the one or more LED emitters for germicidal irradiation.
