Definitions

  • the photocatalytic air purifier according to the invention is advantageous primarily because the surface area of the screens exposed to the incoming air is increased compared to that of conventional devices. Furthermore, the inventors have found a surprising increase in the UV power per cm2 that each screen is exposed to. Therefore the efficiency of the catalyst is increased. Also, the present invention induces considerable turbulent air flow within the air passage, which increases the time the air is spent exposed to the catalyst and the UV. All of this leads to more efficient killing of pathogens and greater removal of harmful gasses and odours.
  • the electromagnetic (EM) radio wave sources may comprise fluorescent tubes. This provides a neat and controllable light source and one which is relatively inexpensive to produce and uses low power. Furthermore the tubes can be configured in a longitudinal fashion so as to extend across the air passageway (see later). Suitable other examples of EM radio wave sources include but are not limited to bulbs, lamps, LED's or lasers. The EM radio wave sources are disposed within the air passage between adjacent screens. That is to say, the EM radio wave sources, in the case where screens are in a plated configuration, are disposed within spaces defined by the pleats.
  • each of the perforated screens or mesh works may be configured differently, i.e. have a different number of perforations or size of perfora- tions for example.
  • each catalyst screen comprises three perforated sheet layers, with the two outer sheets of one type of formation and the centre one of a different type thus creating a different surface area which will improve the dwell time of the air flow passing through the filter. Improving the dwell time improves the photo activity of the purifier.
  • the photocatalytic air purifier according to the invention in use removes ethylene, bacteria, fungi, viruses and/or odours from the air within the air passage.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un purificateur d'air photocatalytique. Le purificateur (1) comprend un passage d'air (10), une pluralité d'écrans de catalyseur (11) disposés obliquement par rapport à l'angle droit de l'axe de l'écoulement d'air à travers le passage d'air (10), un moyen d'entraînement (30) pour forcer l'air à s'écouler à travers le passage d'air (10), une pluralité de sources d'ondes radio électromagnétiques (13) pour activer les écrans de catalyseur (11) et l'air à l'intérieur du passage d'air (10). La pluralité de sources d'ondes radio électromagnétiques (13) sont disposées à l'intérieur du passage d'air entre des écrans adjacents (11).
