Publication number: 20190192721Abstract: A modular germicidal light system for use in a plenum of a cooling apparatus in which an entrained stream of air flows in a predetermined direction. The system comprises a support assembly comprising at least one elongate member; at least one lamp assembly constructed and arranged to mount to at least one elongate member of the support assembly, and comprising a linear germicidal light source having a longitudinal axis extending at an acute light angle relative to a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of the flow of said stream of air. Each of said at least one elongate members has a longitudinal axis, and a distal end and a proximal end along said longitudinal axis. The system further comprises one or more anchor members for receiving at least one of the ends of each elongate member for connecting said members to an interior surface of the plenum.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: PHI Technologies, LLCInventors: Joel E Horne, Richard P.

Patent number: 10117961Abstract: A modular germicidal light grid system for use inside an air treatment apparatus that has a plenum in which a stream of air is enclosed. The system comprises at least one elongate member and at least one lamp assembly. Each lamp assembly comprises a housing defining at least one socket and is mounted to one elongate member at a predetermined position. The system further comprises at least one linear germicidal light source. Each light source has a longitudinal axis and a distal end constructed and arranged to mount within one socket of the housing. The elongate member is mounted within the plenum and the lamp assembly is mounted to the elongate member such that the longitudinal axis of the light source extends therein the stream of air and is positioned at an acute light angle relative to the direction of flow of the stream of air.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: PHI Technologies, LLCInventors: Joel E. Horne, Richard P. Sutton
