METHOD OF DESTROYING MICROORGANISMS-BIODESTRUCTORS ON SURFACES OF OBJECTS IN DWELLING MODULE OF SPACE STATION Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61L2/25 

FIELD: ecology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of purification and protection of environment inside inhabited orbital stations from destroying influence of microorganisms. Method of destroying microorganisms-biodestructors on surface of objects in dwelling modules of space station includes periodic irradiation of mentioned zones with ultrasound with frequency more than 29 kHz and level of irradiation more than 150 dB during time period necessary for conversion of condensate with microorganisms into dispersion aerosol, removal of formed aerosol from air medium of irradiated zones by suction of air of irradiated zone medium trough filter, after which filter with collected dispersion aerosol is destroyed. Periodic irradiation is carried out after time intervals equal to duration of microorganisms development. Note that temperature and relative humidity of air medium in immediate vicinity from surface of elements of dwelling modules of space stations are preliminary measured, zones of elements surfaces with temperature not exceeding temperature of drop point are fixed, map of such zones for all standard orientations of space station with respect to Sun is composed.

EFFECT: invention allows to ensure reliable protection of space station module constructions against biocorrosion.
