Hard-Surface Disinfection System

Abstract

UV hard-surface disinfection system that is able to disinfect the hard surfaces in a room, while minimizing missed areas due to shadows by providing multiple UV light towers that can be placed in several areas of a room such that shadowed areas are eliminated and that can be transported by a cart that is low to the ground such that the towers may be loaded and unloaded easily by a single operator. The system is able to be controlled remotely, such that during activation of the system, no operator is present, and to automatically cut power to all towers in the event that a person enters the room.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A disinfection system comprising:
 a processor;   a plurality of scanners within a space; and   a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
 receive a distance and occupancy within the space from the plurality of scanners; 
 receive sanitization information of the space from a control panel; 
 calculate emitter times based on the distance, occupancy and sanitization information for the space; 
 provide the emitter times to the control panel, the control panel in communication with a plurality of energy emitter assemblies which are independently placeable within the space, wherein the energy emitter assemblies comprise a base and an elongate energy emitter extending vertically from the base.
