Abstract
A gas irradiation system has an irradiation chamber having a plurality of compartments disposed circumferentially about a central axis. One of the compartments is an inlet compartment. The inlet compartment has an aperture at the bottom through which gas flows from the compartment. The irradiation chamber comprises a plurality of UV lights which are configured to irradiate the gas and neutralize pathogens as the gas flows through the irradiation chamber. Circumferentially adjacent to one side of the inlet compartment is an outlet compartment. Circumferentially adjacent in the opposite circumferential direction on the other side of the inlet compartment is the first of a plurality of intermediate compartments. These intermediate compartments extend circumferentially about the central axis between the inlet compartment and the outlet compartment.
