A) Placement: Identification of chamber location:
Since the chamber equipment requires the neutralization of the chemicals before
they are evacuated into the open air, it is advisable to place the chamber near
a wall bordering the exterior or be mounted in an open space (always INSIDE the
plant) because the receptacle which contains the neutralizing filter system must
be sprayed on with a caustic solution (80% water) quite frequently, approximately
every three or four cycles. That is why there must be a constant flow of air between
the interior of the chamber and the outside.

B) Chamber measurements:
The dimensions of the chamber depend on two main factors:
1. The size of the biggest piece of material, whether glass or any other silica-based
surface, that needs to be treated.
2. The quantity of square meters (m2) or square feet (f2) that need to be
treated per cycle.
The size of the chamber will therefore be determined taking into account these two
factors, and the equipment for air exhaustion and humidification will be measured
out considering the air volume of the designed chamber. Practical experience has
shown that an average chamber will be about three meters wide (3 m) , five
meters (5 m) deep and three meters (3 m) high.

C) Construction options:
The chamber can be made out of different materials.
A warning should be made about the highly corrosive quality of the chemical agents
and how it WILL affect metals in general, iron and steal in particular, so ANY kind
of metallic material is therefore NOT recommended. Instead, DFI recommends the use
of PVC panels, although it is also possible to use tempered, laminated glass, or
wood boards, which is the option described below as reference.
What matters is the existence of a totally air-tight space, which will avoid the
leakage of chemical vapors to the outside of the chamber.

D) Proper Humidification, Neutralization and Evacuation of Diamon Fusion®
Vapor Chemicals.
The equipment required for the patented Diamon Fusion® ® vapor
chamber system are the ones generally used and provided by companies specialized
in air conditioners.
The Diamon Fusion® nano-chemistry requires the surface (of the material to be treated)
to be humidified with water vapor in the form of a very thin mist layered
onto the glass (or any other surface to be treated). Due to this essential humidification
requirement, it will be necessary to build a pipe inside the chamber which
will introduce water vapor or water “steam” at ambient temperature into
the chamber to humidify both the inside and the outside surface of the materials
to be treated (as both sides will be automatically treated unless otherwise blocked
or covered for specific reasons or purposes). Once all the materials to be treated
have been properly and fully humidified (with said very thin mist of water vapor),
the first chemical (called DF-1) is introduced. When the vapor has covered
the total area of inside the chamber, it is then fully circulated and later exhausted
via the filter system which will allow for a full neutralization. DF2 is then introduced
and the cycle is repeated.
Note:it is essential to install a humidification
equipment that will immediately generate up to 90% humidity inside the chamber in
a matter of a few minutes to make the process (timing wise) as efficient as possible.
The ideal equipment to create a very thin water vapor is the one used for “green
houses” to water plants (in a water vaporized controlled manner, the mister type)
