Abstract: A fluid disinfection module (10) comprises a first housing (12) and a second housing (20) arranged in spaced-apart relationship to each other. The first housing (12) includes tubular support members (28) and (28a) extending laterally therefrom for respective slidable mateable engagement with corresponding tubular support members (30) and (30a) also laterally extending from second housing (20), to vary the lateral distance x between the first and second housings (12) and (20). A locking device maintains tubular support members (28,28a) and (30,30a) in fixed relationship with respect to each other. First housing (12), second housing (20), and corresponding tubular support members (28,28a) and (30,30a) define a framework for supporting one or more ultraviolet radiation sources (18) and (26) that are detachably mounted at one end thereof to housings (12) and (20), respectively.

Abstract: An air disinfection module for use in a HVAC system comprises a first and second housing, each of the housings including at least one support member adjustably coupled with the other to form a framework for varying the lateral distance between the first and second housings. The housings further comprise a lamp assembly that includes at least one ultraviolet radiation source communicating with and projecting from its respective housing towards its opposite housing, and a radiation pervious protective sleeve disposed about the radiation source. Electric transmission means are also included which communicates with the ultraviolet radiation source(s) and with at least one source of electrical power to provide electricity to the ultraviolet radiation sources. At least one cross support member communicating with the protective sleeves and the support members is provided for supporting the sleeves and their corresponding ultraviolet radiation sources between the first and second housings.

Abstract: A fluid disinfection module (10c) comprises a first housing (214) and a second housing (216) arranged in spaced-apart relationship to each other. The first housing (214) includes tubular support members (218) extending laterally therefrom for respective slidable mateable engagement with corresponding tubular support members (220) also laterally extending from second housing (216), to vary the lateral distance x between the first and second housings (214) and (216). A locking mechanism (260) preferably maintains tubular support members (218,220) in fixed relationship with respect to each other. First housing (214), second housing (216), corresponding tubular support members (218) and (220), and cross support member (230) define a framework for supporting one or more lamp assemblies comprising a UV lamp (18) and a protective sleeve (224) disposed about each UV lamp (18).

Abstract: Radiation module (10) comprises a power disruption apparatus (11) for a radiation lamp (14) to disinfect a fluid passing through a conduit (12). Radiation lamp (14) includes lamp base (15) that supports lamp tubing (14a) at one end thereof, terminal pins (17,17a) and flange (28) disposed about lamp base (15). Power disruption apparatus (11) includes mounting plate (16) provided with opening (27) for registry with opening (25) in duct (12). Openings (25,27) are sized to receive lamp tubing (14a) therethrough. Flange (28) interfaces with mounting plate (16) to restrict axial movement of lamp base (15) into duct (12). Module (10) also includes compression nut (22) for detachably securing lamp base (15) to mounting plate (16), and electrical socket (20) for receiving terminal pins (17,17a).

Abstract: An UV light system (10) for treating the air includes an UV tube lamp (20) having a first section (42) for transmitting UV light in a wavelength range thaht includes maximum ozone production and maximum germicidal activity, and a second section (44) for transmitting UV light in a wavelength range thaht includes maximum germical activity while excluding the production of ozone; and a movable annualar sleeve (46) for controlling the amount of ozone transmitted by the lamp (20).
