Mobile germicidal source

Germicidal light is a type of UV light which is able to kill bacteries and microorganisms. These germicidal lamps usually operate on the same principle like common fluorescent lamps but they emit the different spectra. For higher efficiency and longer lamp life it is desirable to use electronic ballast as a source for germicidal lamp which in version of integrated circuit offers further advantages. First part of the thesis describes the theory of UV desinfection and electronic ballasts. The second part is about the construction of the mobile germicidal source. In the last part of the thesis there is the germicidal mobile source tested against a few various mildews
