BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Sanitization is a process being used to kill bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can be harmful to us. Different techniques have been used so far for the sanitization purposes. Some of the techniques includes liquid sanitization, ultraviolet sanitizations etc. In liquid sanitization, alcohol containing liquids can be used for sanitization process. In ultraviolet sanitization processes, ultraviolet (UV) rays can be used to kill the harmful bacteria and pathogens. The liquid sanitization can be less effective than the UV sanitization system in some conditions the coverage of the liquid sanitization can be less than the ultraviolet sanitization systems.
[0004] One of the most effective techniques used for the sanitization process include use of ozone for killing the harmful bacteria. Ozone kills most of the harmful present which can harm us with different diseases. Ozone sanitization system can be considered as systems with highest coverage even more than ultraviolet sanitization system. This can be because the coverage of gas is even more than the ultraviolet rays. The ozone sanitization systems can kill the harmful bacteria in an even lesser time and can be more effectively than the ultraviolet sanitization systems.
[0005] However, when ozone come in contact with sun light it can produce pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compound. These are not good for us can cause severe health issues.
[0006] There is, therefore, a requirement of a system and apparatus for ozone sanitization which can avoid the above discussed drawbacks of the ozone sanitization systems.

[0030] The present disclosure relates to the field of sensitization system, and more particularly the present disclosure relates to a system and apparatus for ozone-UV sanitization.
[0031] FIG. 1A illustrates an exemplary diagram of the proposed system for ozone-UV sanitization, according to an embodiment of present disclosure.
[0032] As illustrated, the proposed system for ozone and ultraviolet (UV) sanitization can include a chamber 102 that can be configured to receive one or more objects to be sanitized. The chamber 102 can be of any cross-sectional shape for example square, circular, and triangular etc. The camber 102 can be made of but without limiting to wood, plastic, metal, and plastic. The chamber 102 can includes one or more holes 112 on a side of the chamber 102. A fan 110 can be operatively configured inside the chamber 102. The fan 110 can be configured to suck air inside the chamber 102 through the holes 112. A first light source 114 can be configured to transmit a first light of a first pre-defined wavelength. The first light can convert oxygen from the air sucked into the chamber, in to ozone. A second light source 104 can be configured to transmit, after a pre-defined time, a second light of a second pre-defined wavelength. The second light can convert the ozone back into oxygen.
[0033] In an embodiment, the first light source 114 and the second light source 104 can be ultraviolet light sources. The first pre-defined wavelength can be between 150 nm to 200 nm. The second pre-defined wavelength can be between 240 nm to 300 nm. The system can include one or more sensing devices 108 that can be positioned inside the chamber 102. The one or more sensing devices 108 that can be configured to measure concentration of ozone and ultraviolet rays inside the chamber 102. The one or more sensing device 108 can include but without limiting to ozone sensors and ultraviolet ray sensors. The chamber 102 can include a door 106 configured to seal the chamber 102. The door 106 can include an ultraviolet glass filter 116 that can be configured to limit the ultraviolet rays coming outside of the chamber 102. The fan 110 can be configure to suck air and to circulate the sucked air inside the chamber 102 as well.
[0034] In an embodiment, the system can include a processing unit (not shown) that can be operatively configured with the one or more sensors, the first light source 114, the second light source 104, the fan 110, and the door 106. The processing unit can be configured to control operation of the fan 110, the first light source 114, and the second light source 104, on the basis of a set of first signals received from the one or more sensors, and a set of second signals received from the door 106. The set of first signals can represent but without limiting to a concentration of ozone, ultraviolet rays inside the chamber 102 and the set of second signals can represent a state, open or closed, of the door 106.
[0035] In an embodiment, once the objects to be sanitized are placed inside the chamber 102, the door 106 can be sealed. Once the door is sealed, the door can transmit a set of second signals to the processing unit. The processing unit can turn ON the fan 110 that can facilitates sucking of air, through the holes 112, inside the chamber 102. The first light source 114 can be tuned on at the same time, and the first light source 114 can start converting oxygen from the air sucked inside the chamber 102, by transmitting the first light of a wavelength between 150nm to 200 nm, into ozone. Simultaneously, the ozone sensor can continuously monitor ozone concentration inside the chamber 102 and can correspondingly transmit a set of first signals to the processing unit. Once the concentration of ozone reaches a pre-determined threshold value, the processing unit can turn off the first light source 114 and the fan 110. After a pre-determined time which can correspond to completion of sanitization process, the processing unit can turn on the second light source 104 that can facilitates conversion of the ozone back into the oxygen, by transmitting the second light of wavelength between 240 nm to 300nm.
[0036] In an embodiment, the chamber 102 can include a door 106 to properly seal the chamber 102. The door 106 can include a UV filter glass 116 for restricting the UV ray coming out of the chamber. The door 106 can send set of second signals, representing current state of the door 106, to the processing unit. If the door 106 is open, the processing unit can cease an operation of the system irrespective of the set of first signals received from the one or more sensors 108, and if the door 106 is properly closed, the processing unit can allow the proposed system to initiate the intended operation.
[0037] In an embodiment, both the first light source 114 and the second light source 104 can be used simultaneously for the sanitization purpose. In this case both the light sources (114, 104) can be turned ON simultaneously to transmit first light of a wavelength between 150nm to 200 nm and the second light of wavelength between 240 nm to 300nm.
[0038] FIG. 1B illustrates an exemplary diagram of the proposed apparatus for ozone-UV sanitization system for a room, according to an embodiment of present disclosure.
[0039] As illustrated, the proposed system can be used to sanitize a closed area such as a room, office etc. The working of the entire system can be same with a small difference that one or more sensors 108 can also be placed outside the chamber and inside the closed area at predetermined areas such as but without limiting to, at corner of the room. This can be to detect ozone and ultraviolet ray concentration inside the room. Corresponding threshold values for the allowable ozone and ultraviolet rays inside the room while the sanitization process can be selected and the processing unit can monitor the whole sanitization process accordingly. In this way, the same system can be used for sanitizing the room as well.
[0040] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary diagram of prototype for ozone-UV sanitization, according to an embodiment of present disclosure.
[0041] As illustrated, the FIG. 2 shows a prototype of the proposed system for ozone and UV sanitization according to first embodiment of the present disclosure. The FIG. 2 shows some object is placed inside the chamber for being sanitized. The can be one or more light indicating devices such as LEDs that can be used to indicate various operational steps of the sanitization process. For example, if fan is operating, if first light source is ON/OFF, if second light source is ON/OFF, status of the sanitation process etc. different coloured LEDs can be used to represent different information. Also, sound alarms can be used instead or with combination of the one or more light indicating devices.
