ABSTRACT:
An ozone distribution system is herein described for an enclosed space defined within an enclosure having at least one vent through which gases can escape from the enclosed space. The system comprises: a first tube having an interior and extending through at least a portion of the enclosed space; at least one diffuser integrally connected to the first tube, having an interior in communication with the interior of the first tube, and also having a plurality of spaced outlets; a second tube having at least one outlet positioned in the interior(s) of the diffuser(s); an ozone generator for generating ozone and establishing a flow thereof through the second tube to and through the outlet(s) of the second tube such that ozone is released into the interior(s) of the diffuser(s); and an air intake fan for taking in air from outside the enclosed space and establishing a flow thereof through the interior of the first tube, into the interior(s) of the diffuser(s), and through the outlets of the diffuser(s) so as to carry ozone therewith for distribution in the enclosed space. According to another aspect of the invention, an ozone distribution method uses the above-described tubes and ozone generator to distribute ozone in an enclosed space. Preferably, the enclosed space is maintained at a pressure above that pressure outside the enclosed space.
