Design requirements are derived from client needs and the scope of the project as:

  • Objectives
  • Constraints

Contemporary sanitizing methods are compared against

  • bjectives to reveal feasible solutions.

CLICK TO EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE SANITIZING METHODS

From research, numerous methods were found that sanitize and sterilize equipment in the food and medical field.

  • Autoclave - Steam at high temperature and pressure
  • Chemical spray - Exposure to germicidal chemicals
  • Infrared light - Specific wavelength generates heat
  • Laser exposure - Germicidal light for precision use
  • Ultraviolet (UVC) light - Germicidal light exposure

CLICK TO EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE PROPOSED DESIGN

  • Dual process:
  • Vaporized hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
  • UVC light
  • Fog machine used to vaporize the H2O2
  • UVC lights degrade H2O2 to safe levels
  • Free hydroxyl radicals, OH-, that are strong oxidizing

agents, degrade additional toxins.

  • Aluminum chamber- not reactive with H2O2

CLICK TO EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE CONCLUSION

Through the testing and results, all but one of the requirements were met under the given constraints. Other systems would be implemented such as a humidity sensor and UVC light check. The size of the chamber is fully scalable and can be modified for smaller or larger applications allowing for more portability or larger items. Further optimization testing would result in a shorter cycle time.
