Abstract

A decontaminator and methods of decontamination of objects within a chamber, or the chamber itself. The decontaminator includes a decontaminant container (102) for storing decontaminant. The container (102) is connected to a valve (104) to regulate the flow of decontaminant out of the container and into a vapor box (106) or directly into a chamber. A heater (108) heats the decontaminant in the vapor box (106) to form a vapor. A fan (112) may be implemented to disburse the vapor into the chamber. A decontaminant distribution device may also be included to improve circulation of the decontaminant within the chamber. A decontamination method is also disclosed.
