The cabinet may comprise the decontamination chamber of a decontamination unit. The cabinet may comprise a sterilizer and/or washer. | 09-11-2008 |
20080267819 | TRANSPORTABLE DECONTAMINATION UNIT AND DECONTAMINATION PROCESS - The disclosed invention relates to a portable decontamination unit. The invention also relates to a decontamination process. The decontamination unit may employ a shipping container for transporting a decontaminant generator and optionally a power generator, and for functioning as a decontamination chamber. The decontamination unit may be ruggedized for use in hostile environments such as those that may be anticipated for military applications. | 10-30-2008 |
20080279719 | DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM WITH AIR BYPASS - A decontamination system for decontaminating an enclosure defining a chamber or region. The decontamination system includes an air bypass for introducing atmospheric air into the decontamination system and bypassing air to the atmosphere in response to system operating conditions. The air bypass allows increased airflow through the decontamination system during certain operating modes of the decontamination system (i.e., dehumidification and aeration phases), thereby reducing the amount of time needed to dehumidify and aerate the enclosure. The air bypass also facilitates the use of a high capacity dryer in the decontamination system. | 11-13-2008 |
20080279722 | TRANSPORTABLE DECONTAMINATION UNIT AND DECONTAMINATION PROCESS - The disclosed invention relates to a portable decontamination unit. The invention also relates to a decontamination process. The decontamination unit may be ruggedized for use in hostile environments such as those that may be anticipated for military applications. | 11-13-2008 |
20100166602 | CIRCULATION AND DISPOSAL DEVICE FOR MULTI-PURPOSE STERILIZATION CHAMBERS AND WASHING CHAMBERS - The present invention provides an apparatus for circulating a carrier gas containing a chemical deactivating vapor or gas in a chamber. The apparatus includes a housing defining a flow path therethrough. The housing has an inlet end and an outlet end. A blower is provided for conveying a carrier gas containing a chemical deactivating vapor or gas along the flow path. A filter that includes a filter element is provided. The filter is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the filter element is fluidly isolated from the flow path when the filter is in the first position, and the filter element is disposed in the flow path when the filter is in the second position. An actuator is provided for moving the filter between the first position and the second position. | 07-01-2010 |
20120121462 | TRANSPORTABLE DECONTAMINATION UNIT AND DECONTAMINATION PROCESS - The disclosed invention relates to a portable decontamination unit.
