Abstract: Port protection device particularly suited for an encapsulated filter unit. In certain embodiments, the protection device comprises a main body defining an internal region configured to receive a port or the like protruding from an encapsulated filter. In certain embodiments, the main body includes a slot that allows for easy removal of the protection device from the port or the like. A tube management system may be provided to receive and hold tubing. One suitable tube management system includes two spaced tangs that extend from the main body of the protection device and are configured to cooperatively receive and hold tubing between them.

Abstract: An air-conditioning system including a water inlet, a processing module having a particle filter (20) for trapping particles larger than about 4.5 ?m, an anti-colloid filter for trapping colloid substances larger than about 1.2 ?m, an ultra-filtration filter for trapping micro-organisms larger than 0.1 ?m and an UVC lamp for destroying micro-organisms smaller than 0.1 ?m, and at least one air-conditioning apparatus (14, 16, 18) for receiving water filtered by the processing module, where the air-conditioning apparatus includes an electrovalve (38), a high-pressure pump (40), at least one misting rail (42), a fan (44) for a misting operation in a room during pump operation, and a control housing (46) for opening the electrovalve and for switching on the pump and the fan for predetermined operation time intervals separated by predetermined temporization periods.

Abstract: A system for filtering and removing viruses from water supply sources comprises a decontaminating unit (10) inserted between a water source (12) and at least one water supply source (14, 16, 18) of a closed space, a warning controller (36) used for displaying the misoperation of the decontaminating unit (10), which consists of three filters (20, 22, 24) for retaining particles, suspended materials (MES), colloidal substances and bacteria, and UVC radiation lamp (26) for destroying viruses. Pressure sensors (28, 30, 32) make it possible to measure a water pressure at the output of each filter and an UVmeter makes it possible to detect the UVC lamp misoperation. When the alarm controller receives an alarm signal from at least one pressure sensor or from the UVmeter, it closes a water closing means (38) arranged between the water source and decontaminating module.

Abstract: The mist spraying device comprises: a mist spraying manifold (14) having a number of mist spraying nozzles; a source of liquid (10) that furnishes the liquid to be supplied to said mist spraying manifold, and; a pump (12) designed for furnishing pressurized liquid from said source to the mist spraying manifold. The device also comprises a particulate filter (16) that retains particles of a size larger than approximately 1? or comprises a charged particulate filter that retains colloidal particles and substances of a size larger than approximately 0.5? (16) while receiving the liquid coming from said source. The inventive device additionally comprises an ultrafiltration filter (18) that receives the liquid coming from the particulate filter for retaining microorganisms of a size larger than 0.2?, and comprises an ultraviolet radiation manifold (20), which receives the liquid coming from the ultrafiltration filter and which is designed for destroying the remaining microorganisms of a size smaller than 0.2?.

Abstract: The invention concerns a humidifier comprising a fogging ramp (14), a water source (10) for feeding the humidifying manifold, a pump (12) adapted to supply water under high pressure to the humidifying manifold, at least one particulate filter (50, 52) retaining the particles having a size greater than about 1? and receiving water from the source, an ultrafiltration filter (18) receiving water from the particulate filter to retain microorganisms having a size greater than 0.2 ?m, and a UV-C manifold chamber (20) including one or more UV-C lamps arranged in quartz sheaths for receiving water from the ultrafiltration filter and adapted to destroy micro-organisms whereof the size is greater than 0.2 ?m. The device further comprises a metering pump (53) arranged next to the UV-C manifold chamber and regularly supplying biocidal or virucidal products to prevent a biofilm from being formed in the pipes between the pump and the humidifying manifold.
