Here, the chlorine dioxide which exhibits an important function in the present invention is disclosed. Chlorine dioxide (ClO ₂ ) gas is an orange-yellow gas having a melting point of −95 ° C., a boiling point of 11 ° C., and a specific gravity of 2.33. It dissolves in water at 3.0 ° C. at 25 ° C. and 20 g / l at 40 ° C. However, industrially produced high-concentration chlorine dioxide water becomes a strong oxidant, and cannot be used as it is due to a situation in which high-concentration chlorine is generated by reaction with other substances and there is a risk of explosion. Therefore, a 5% aqueous solution of stabilized chlorine dioxide developed by International Dioxide Co., Ltd. has been provided as chlorine dioxide that eliminates such dangers and is easy to handle. be able to. Chlorine dioxide gas obtained by vaporizing the stabilized chlorine dioxide aqueous solution is safe without generating strong irritating odors. By contacting the object, various bacteria, bacteria, fungi, etc. It exerts various effects such as powerful sterilization, disinfection and deodorization.

The air purifying apparatus according to the present invention is an action of ultraviolet rays, negative ions, positive / negative ions, ozone, photocatalytic substances, etc. used for the purpose of sterilization, prevention, deodorization and the like in the conventional air purification apparatuses. Compared to the above, the use of chlorine dioxide gas, which is more effective in sterilization, deterrence, deodorization, etc., provides a more reliable and safer air purification effect that combines sterilization, deterrence, deodorization, etc. A high level of air purification is achieved. Therefore, safer and more reliable environmental management is required than ordinary air purification equipment used in ordinary houses and offices. For example, manufacturing, storage and management of various pharmaceuticals and medical materials. It is possible to obtain an air cleaning apparatus suitable for installation in a place where it is performed, a limited space in a medical institution, production of food and food, storage place, and other places where strict atmosphere management is required.

In the air cleaning apparatus according to the present invention, the tangible and intangible contaminants in the air, for example, dust, floating germs, tobacco smoke, and other air pollutants are taken in and removed from the circulating water as in the conventional apparatus. Is done. In addition, when the water jetted from the nozzle forms a water film, the negative ions can be generated while breaking into ultrafine water droplets due to collision between the water jet and the gas-liquid contact area wall surface. Is discharged into the use space of the purified air in a state of being mixed with the purified air.

Furthermore, since chlorine dioxide gas, which has a stronger sterilization effect than conventional devices, is used, if the gas concentration in the blown air exceeds the expected level, ultraviolet rays are used to actively reduce the gas concentration. Means are provided for temporarily stopping the irradiation apparatus and temporarily stopping or reducing the circulation of the circulating water containing the stabilized chlorine dioxide. Therefore, since the chlorine dioxide gas concentration in the installation space of the apparatus does not become excessively high, safety against human livestock is strictly maintained, and safe and reliable air cleaning can be achieved.

Hereinafter, embodiments of an air cleaning device according to the present invention will be disclosed with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overall internal configuration of a preferred embodiment of an air cleaning apparatus 10 according to the present invention. A cleaning air inlet 12 for taking in air to be cleaned is provided at the upper right side of the figure, and a pre-cleaning air inlet 12 is provided therein. A filter 14 is provided. Below the pre-filter 14 is a gas-liquid contact region 18 where the circulating water sprayed from the nozzle 16 and the flowing air are brought into contact with each other while the suction air flows downward as a swirling flow.

In the gas-liquid contact region 18, tangible and intangible contaminants contained in the air to be cleaned, such as dust, airborne bacteria, tobacco smoke, and other air pollutants, are taken into the circulating water and removed. The gas-liquid contact region 18 is provided with an ultraviolet irradiation device 20 for activating the stabilized chlorine dioxide component added to the circulating water ejected from the nozzle 16.

A receiving tray 22 for guiding the mist-like water droplets to the tank 24 can be installed below the gas-liquid contact area 18, and the mist-like water droplets are introduced into the tank by a pipe shown below. In this case, a filtration device (not shown) can be disposed in the tray, and the circulated water in a mist state is collected and is returned to the circulating water tank 24 through the filtration device. Further, the bottom of the gas-liquid contact portion 18 is narrower than the upper surface of the tank 24 so that the circulated water in a mist state can be dropped into the tank as it is. The circulating water in the circulating water tank 24 is pressurized by the circulating water pump 26 and injected from the nozzle 16 through the water supply pipe 28. In addition, the circulating water tank 24 requires a device for replenishing natural consumption due to evaporation, scattering, etc. of the circulating water for long-term stable operation, and the stabilized chlorine dioxide solution is appropriately added by a dropping method, an injection method or the like. Although means for replenishment can be attached, illustration and description are omitted because they can be handled by conventional means.

The air from which the tangible and intangible contaminants have been removed in the gas-liquid contact area 18 is sent to the air blowing area 30 on the left side from the opening below the partition wall in the center of the figure, passes through the gas-liquid separation filter 32 and flows upward. Then, the air is discharged from the cleaned air outlet 34 to the outside. The blowout port 34 is often provided with a blower fan (not shown) or a grill for manually or automatically changing the blowout direction or the blowout amount of air, but is a well-known configuration in similar devices. Detailed description is omitted. In this embodiment, the suction fan 35 is disposed on the air blowing area 30 side. However, depending on the scale of the apparatus, a suction fan may be installed on the gas-liquid contact portion 18 side to adopt a balanced air blowing method using the air blowing fan. There is no problem.

A chlorine dioxide gas concentration sensor 36 is installed in the air flow path inside the cleaning air outlet 34, and is configured to measure the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas (ClO ₂ ) in the passing outlet air. The principle and configuration of the gas concentration sensor suitable for such applications will be described later. The gas concentration sensor 36 is connected to a gas concentration indicating controller 38 and transmits an electric signal corresponding to the gas concentration in the blown air. The gas concentration indicator / regulator 38 displays the current gas concentration, and outputs a first-stage output signal 42 or the circulation pump 26 for controlling the ultraviolet irradiation device 20 when a preset concentration is detected. Any one of the output signals 44 in the second stage for control is generated and transmitted to the control unit of the target device. The state where the output signal of the second stage is generated is notified by the alarm device 40.

The control mode of the output signal of the first stage and the second stage can be set as follows according to the use place, the size, the purpose of use, etc. of the installation place or the target space. It is not limited to the range. For example, when the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas in the blown air becomes the lower limit set value 0.06 ppm or less, the activation signal by the ultraviolet irradiation device 20 is strengthened to increase the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas. The output signal is increased. On the other hand, when the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas in the blown air exceeds the set upper limit value of 0.1 ppm, the activation function of the ultraviolet irradiation device 20 is reduced so that the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas does not increase any more. An output signal is generated.

In response to these first-stage output signals, the ultraviolet irradiation device 20 has on / off control in a single device, voltage control to change the operating voltage, and stable discharge in the case of a discharge lamp. In the case of using a plurality of ultraviolet irradiation devices, the activation function for chlorine dioxide is adjusted by controlling the number of units and the like, and the gas concentration is controlled within a predetermined range.

Furthermore, if the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas in the blown air reaches an extreme concentration exceeding 0.13 ppm and corresponds to the output signal of the second stage, maintaining a high level for a long time is an environment. Since there is no possibility of unexpected effects, it must be controlled to immediately reduce the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas. However, in the adjustment of the activation function by the control of the ultraviolet irradiation device 20 described above, there is a time lag and an immediate effect cannot be expected. Therefore, when the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas in the blown air reaches an extreme level of, for example, 0.13 ppm, direct control is performed so that the pressurized pump 26 of the circulating water is immediately stopped.

The control mode of the output signal of the second stage includes on / off control of the pump drive motor, rotation speed control by an inverter in the AC motor, number control when a plurality of units are used, etc. It can be appropriately selected in consideration of characteristics and the like. When the concentration of chlorine dioxide in the blown air is less than 0.09 ppm, for example, and the reset signal is input, the circulation pump 26 that has been stopped or reduced in output is reset and the circulation water pump is restarted. I do. The reset switch is operated to stop the alarm and restart the pump.

The activation of chlorine dioxide in a gas-liquid contact state is performed by directly irradiating the flowing water film with ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation device 20 as a swirling flow. In the configuration in which the chlorine dioxide aqueous solution is in direct contact with the ultraviolet irradiation device, the ultraviolet irradiation device can be a fluorescent chemical lamp that has been completely waterproofed.

In the chlorine dioxide activating means 20 incorporating such an ultraviolet irradiation device, in addition to the control by the output of the gas concentration indicating controller 38 that has received the signal from the gas concentration sensor 36, the chlorine dioxide activating device 20 can be used according to the temperature and humidity of the usage environment. It can be equipped with temperature / humidity adjustment means, operating time control (timer) means, etc. for the blown air, and the load state changes according to the situation of the target space (location), size, application, purpose, usage time zone, etc. It can be configured to correspond. Such adjustment / control can be performed by adding a known control device or device such as a program timer, a thyristor control device, a cooling / heating coil, or an ultraviolet filter.

With such a configuration, an appropriate concentration of stabilized chlorine dioxide aqueous solution is added to the circulating water, and the chlorine dioxide activated by the chlorine dioxide activation means 20 is contained in the water film formed in the gas-liquid contact region 18. It is contained in each minute water droplet and acts on airborne fungi, various bacteria, etc. contained in the air to be cleaned during the gas-liquid contact action, and exerts actions such as sterilization and deodorization. As a result, not only solid matter such as fine dust but also various bacteria, bacteria, sputum and the like can be expected to provide a true air cleaning action.

FIG. 2 shows the principle of a chlorine dioxide gas concentration sensor 36 suitable as a gas concentration sensor. In the electrolytic solution 52 filled in the container 50, a detection electrode 54, a counter electrode 56, and a reference electrode 58 are disposed, and a gas permeable diaphragm 60 is provided in the opening of the container 50. When chlorine dioxide (ClO ₂ ) gas passes through the gas permeable diaphragm 60 of the thus configured chlorine dioxide gas concentration sensor, the following chemical reaction occurs.
ClO ₂ + 4H ⁺ + 5e ⁻ → Cl ⁻ + 2H ₂ O

From the result of such a chemical reaction, as shown in FIG. 2, the detection electrode 54, the counter electrode 56, and the reference electrode 58 are added to the potential generation circuit 62, and the detection current from the counter electrode 56 is caused to flow through the resistor R64. A gas concentration output signal proportional to the concentration is obtained. The gas concentration sensor having such a configuration can be advantageously used as the chlorine dioxide gas concentration sensor 36 in FIG.

In using the air purifying apparatus according to the present invention, a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the circulating water tank 24 in advance, and a stabilized chlorine dioxide aqueous solution is supplied from a chlorine dioxide solution adding means (not shown) to a predetermined concentration, for example, 100 to It adds so that it may become 1000 ppm, and also the ultraviolet irradiation means 20 for chlorine dioxide activation is operated. Then, the circulating water pump 26 is driven to pressure-feed water toward the water supply pipe 28 in the gas-liquid contact portion 18. The nozzles 16 that have received the pressure-fed water are ejected from nozzle groups arranged in a grid or row, and form a water film that diffuses from the ejection surface to the entire circumference.

When the fan 35 is driven in a state where a water film is formed as described above, the air to be cleaned is sucked from the air inlet 12 and passes through the prefilter 14, and appropriate means such as fins, guide vanes or baffle plates not shown It becomes a swirl flow due to the flow path structure provided with the, and moves downward while diffusing the water film formed in the periphery. Meanwhile, the tangible and intangible contaminants in the air that have passed through the prefilter 14 are taken into the circulating water.

Meanwhile, with respect to the swirling flow of the circulating water, the stabilized chlorine dioxide solution is activated and gasified by the action of ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation device 20. At this time, the gasified chlorine dioxide gas exerts a sterilizing effect on the air flowing as a swirling flow, and then is discharged from the air outlet 34 to the space where the air purifying device is installed through a normal path. As a result, not only the air passing through the air cleaning device but also the chlorine dioxide gas remaining in the blown air allows the air at the installation location to be cleaned, and further effects such as sterilization and deodorization continue.

In the air cleaning apparatus according to the present invention, water droplets are refined by appropriately considering the structure and arrangement of the injection nozzle 16 in the gas-liquid contact portion 18 and at the same time, an air flow that flows as a swirl flow is formed by the flow path structure. And a more efficient gas-liquid contact is guaranteed. Furthermore, an appropriate amount of an activated stabilized chlorine dioxide aqueous solution is added to the circulating water forming the gas-liquid contact portion, and the chlorine dioxide is activated by the ultraviolet irradiation device 20. As a result, not only dust and other fine particles contained in the air are efficiently removed, but also a sterilizing and deodorizing action is exerted against airborne fungi such as bacteria and bacteria, and a true air purification is performed. By combining the air purifier having such a configuration with an air conditioner, an environment of clean air from which bacteria, bacteria, and the like as well as solid matter such as fine dust and gases are removed is secured.
