SYSTEM AND METHOD OF IMPROVING SAFETY FOR ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION IN AQUEOUS APPLICATIONS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B63B59/04 A61L2/10 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to counteracting biofouling based on UV radiation and relates to object (10), which during use is at least partially immersed in water, wherein object (10) additionally comprises anti-biofouling system (200) containing UV radiation emitting element (210), wherein UV radiation emitting element (210) is configured to irradiate with UV radiation (221) during irradiation stage of one or more from (i) part (111) of outer surface (11) of said object (10) and (ii) water adjacent to said portion (111) of said outer surface (11), wherein light source (220) is at least controllable between first UV radiation level and second UV radiation level, wherein the first UV radiation level is greater than the second UV radiation level, wherein object (10) is selected from the group consisting of ship (1) and infrastructure object (15), wherein object (10) further comprises control system (300) configured to control said UV radiation (221) depending on input information containing information on one or more of (i) location of object (10), (ii) moving object (10), (iii) distance (d) from object (10) to second object (20) and (iv) position of part (111) of outer surface (11) relative to water.

EFFECT: invention provides higher safety for the anti-aging biofouling system based on UV radiation.
