A sterilizing component removal device which reduces a sterilizing component sprayed in a working chamber having an outlet includes a sprayer which supplies, in an atomized manner, a liquid different from the sterilizing component into the working chamber.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A sterilizing component removal device which removes a sterilizing component sprayed in a working chamber having an outlet, the sterilizing component removal device comprising a first sprayer which supplies, in an atomized manner, a liquid different from the sterilizing component into the working chamber. 2 . The sterilizing component removal device according to claim 1 , wherein the first sprayer supplies, in the atomized manner, the liquid which includes a substance which promotes gasification of the sterilizing component which is liquefied, into the working chamber. 3 . The sterilizing component removal device according to claim 1 , wherein the first sprayer supplies, in the atomized manner, the liquid which includes an active species which decomposes the sterilizing component, into the working chamber. 4 . The sterilizing component removal device according to claim 3 , further comprising: a liquid source for supplying the liquid to the first sprayer; and a plasma generator which generates plasma to generate the active species in the liquid stored in the liquid source. 5 . A disinfection device comprising the sterilizing component removal device according to claim 1 , wherein the first sprayer further supplies, in the atomized manner, the sterilizing component into the working chamber. 6 . A disinfection device comprising: the sterilizing component removal device according to claim 1 ; and a second sprayer which supplies, in an atomized manner, the sterilizing component into the working chamber. 7 . A disinfected environment maintaining system comprising: the sterilizing component removal device according to claim 1 ; the working chamber; and an expulsion device which expels gas from the working chamber through the outlet. 8 . The disinfected environment maintaining system according to claim 7 , further comprising a supply device which supplies gas into the working chamber. 9 . A sterilizing component removal method for removing a sterilizing component sprayed in a working chamber having an outlet, the sterilizing component removal method comprising supplying, in an atomized manner, a liquid different from the sterilizing component into the working chamber. 10 . The sterilizing component removal method according to claim 9 , wherein the liquid is supplied into the working chamber in the atomized manner, while gas is being expelled from the working chamber through the outlet. 11 . The sterilizing component removal method according to claim 10 , further comprising expelling, before supplying the liquid in the atomized manner, gas from the working chamber through the outlet without supplying the liquid into the working chamber in the atomized manner. 12 . The sterilizing component removal method according to claim 11 , wherein expelling the gas and supplying the liquid in the atomized manner are repeated. 13 . The sterilizing component removal method according to claim 9 , wherein the liquid is supplied into the working chamber in the atomized manner in a state where a gas flow in the working chamber is same as a gas flow created when the sterilizing component is supplied into the working chamber.
