METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING STEAM AND GASEOUS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

摘要

Vaporized hydrogen peroxide is used for decontamination of enclosed and sealed areas. It is capable of destroying all forms of microbial life. It is commonly produced from a solution of liquid H2O2 and water, by means of generators specifically designed for the purpose. The present invention provides a combined source for heating steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide and a method for simultaneously supplying steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide. A device according to the invention comprises a chamber adapted for receiving water through an inlet and expelling steam through an outlet. A vessel for receiving and vaporizing hydrogen peroxide solution is provided in close contact with the chamber. Heat from the water vapor in the chamber is allowed to supply the required energy for producing hydrogen peroxide vapor in the vessel from an aqueous solution.

主权项

1. A device for the simultaneous generation of steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide, said device comprising a chamber having a water inlet, a steam outlet and an associated heat source, and a vessel not communicating with the chamber but adapted to it for allowing heat transfer from steam generated in the chamber to the vessel, said vessel having an inlet for hydrogen peroxide solution, and an outlet for hydrogen peroxide vapor, the device comprising means for preventing contact of liquid water in the chamber with the vessel.
