This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,705.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

An innovative air treatment system that improves germicidal efficiency through higher-intensity UV light, optimized air flow, and reduced UV light degradation, providing a safer and healthier environment.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent's air treatment unit, while effective, has limitations in terms of germicidal efficiency, UV light degradation, and air flow. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a higher-intensity UV light source, an optimized air moving assembly, and a protective coating to prevent UV light degradation, resulting in a more efficient and effective air treatment system.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The advanced air treatment system comprises a frame mounted to a wall, a UV light source with a higher intensity than previously used, an air moving assembly supported by the frame, and a primary treatment volume within the frame. The UV light source is configured to provide a broader wavelength range, and the air moving assembly is designed to increase air flow into the primary treatment volume. Additionally, the system features a protective coating to prevent UV light degradation and a frame configured to maintain a predetermined distance between the UV light source and the air moving assembly. The system can be scaled up to accommodate multiple UV light sources, increasing air treatment capacity.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept's novelty lies in the combination of a higher-intensity UV light source, optimized air flow, and reduced UV light degradation, which provides a significant improvement in germicidal efficiency compared to the original patent. The inventive step is the specific configuration of the UV light source, air moving assembly, and protective coating, which addresses the limitations of the original patent and provides a more efficient and effective air treatment system.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include varying the UV light source's intensity and wavelength range, modifying the air moving assembly's design, or incorporating additional features such as air quality sensors or smart control systems. Variations could also include adapting the system for use in different environments, such as hospitals, offices, or residential spaces.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The advanced air treatment system has significant commercial potential in various industries, including healthcare, hospitality, and real estate. The system's ability to provide a safer and healthier environment makes it an attractive solution for businesses and individuals seeking to improve indoor air quality. The market for air treatment systems is growing, driven by increasing awareness of the importance of indoor air quality and the need for effective solutions to combat airborne pathogens.
