Cryogenic disinfection method and device for objects
The granted patent US12070526B2 describes a cryogenic disinfection device designed to effectively disinfect objects using various forms of cryogenic agents. Central to the device is a cryogenic disinfection chamber where objects can be placed. The system includes a manifold that distributes cryogen, which can be in liquid, gas, or supercritical forms, to achieve disinfection. The device is equipped with nozzles that can deliver a spray or mist of cryogen, and it allows for the independent control of these nozzles through valves or solenoids. Additionally, the design may incorporate multiple manifolds and a cooling radiator matrix to enhance the distribution of cryogen within the chamber.
The device is engineered to reach specific low temperatures, such as -40° C. to -140° C., in under ten minutes. It also features a heating unit to warm the chamber post-disinfection, ensuring a complete cycle. A conveyor belt system facilitates the movement of objects through the disinfection process, with provisions for pre-cooling and post-cooling chambers to optimize temperature management. The conveyor belt can be made of mesh or solid material and is designed for either pulsed or continuous motion. The cryogen used can include nitrogen, argon, nitrous oxide, or carbon dioxide, with a specific emphasis on nitrogen-based cryogens. This innovative approach aims to enhance disinfection efficacy through controlled cryogenic exposure.
