Abstract
A HVAC air treatment (HAT) system/method for use in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that incorporates an air flow sensor (AFS), timer control unit (TCU), ultraviolet lamp(s) (UVL), lamp feedback indicator (LFI), liquid distribution atomizer (LDA), leak exhaust fan (LEF), and digital control processor (DCP) is disclosed. The AFS indicates detection of air flow within the HVAC ducts (HVD) to the DCP and may wirelessly communicate with the DCP. The DCP interrogates the TCU to determine when HAT is to occur if HVD air flow is detected and activates the UVL to disinfect air within the HVD. The LFI provides feedback to the DCP to verify that the UVL is operational. The UVL may be positioned at the fresh air intake (FAI), air intake plenum (AIP), evaporator/heat exchanger (HEX), and/or air exhaust plenum (AEP) and may incorporate an adjustable magnetic frame (AMF) allowing UVL retrofit installation.
