| abstract |
The invention is intended for carrying out sanitation measures (disinfection, insect deinfestation, rat extermination and odour removal) in enclosed spaces, in particular cabins in aircraft and other vehicles. The method comprises an additionally introduced oxygen concentrator allowing denitration and an increase in the oxygen content in a working mixture which can be supplied to the input of an ozone generator. An apparatus for carrying out the sanitation method comprises an ozone generator and sensor, a blower, an air circulation system, a decomposer, an oxygen concentrator and a nitrogen sensor, which allow a selected concentration of ozone throughout a cabin and the maintaining of said concentration for a specified exposure time. The use of an oxygen concentrator increases the productivity of an ozone generator by 2-4 times while maintaining the installed capacity thereof, thus reducing the period needed for generating a specified ozone dose, and eliminates the destructive effect of nitrogen oxides and derivatives thereof on materials of the cabin. |
