The present invention relates to an air filtration system which pulls air into the air filtration system filter where the air is exposed to a polished aluminum shield or other device made of a material that controls or enhances the reflection of the UV wavelength coming from the UV lamp that enhances kill ability of micro-organisms that are introduced to it.
US patent publication 20060034737 relates to an air purifier held in a housing with an ambient air inlet and an air outlet, defining an airflow path therethrough for treating ambient air. A filter is disposed in the airflow path that has an air permeable media for communicating air therethrough while retaining particles carried in the flow of air. A purification device attaches to an intermediate chassis in the airflow path for treating the air moved by a fan into operative engagement with the purification device within the housing and out the air inlet. A controller operates the purification device by sensing an operative status of the purification device.
US patent publication 20070059225 relates to a germicidal ultraviolet apparatus mounted within a specially designed filter element designed to fit within the standard filter access ports for re-circulating HVAC air systems. The UV light source is positioned to project UV light towards surfaces within the filter area and components found downstream of the filter in the HVAC system for the purpose of sterilization and maintenance of these areas. The filter elements contain a special tackified air filtration media designed to increase reactivity of the UV light within the filter area. A safety interlock mechanism cuts power to the UV source when the filter element is removed from the re-circulating air system. Various sources of supplying power to the UV apparatus are used for installation flexibility.
US patent publication 20190117820 relates to a personal air treatment device used to treat air with UV irradiation and with scents. The scents may be used as an attractant or masking for hunting. Multiple devices may be controlled by a smartphone application to strategically alter scent dispersion according to local wind patterns, user location and device location. Similar air treatment devices may be integrated with a particulate mask or used to treat the air around a user.
US patent publication 20190257314 relates to a combination axial fan and LED lighting system to fit into the footprint of a standard ceiling tile. Ceiling tiles may have a built-in fan and/or LED lighting. The system may include a housing container and an axial fan. The fan has a fan cavity including air diversion mechanism to direct air from the fan cavity toward the lighting and fan components. It further includes an airflow surface to direct air exiting the fan cavity along an LED light fixture. Also included is one or more UV light sources which irradiate contaminants as air flows through the ceiling.
The present invention relates to an air filtration system that works by pulling air into the air filtration system filter. The air filtration system draws air into the air filtration system through the air filtration system filter at 360°, equally spaced around the vertical structure of the air filtration system using a structural design that allows maximum airflow of the air filtration system.
To provide maximum air cleaning solutions, the air flows through the multi-layer design of the air filtration system filter which comprises a compressed carbon structure of a specialized activated carbon with a specific particle size that is impregnated with a potassium permanganate mixture which is used to help remove any aldehyde molecules such as formalin, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and other volatile materials. Finally, the air filtration system filter's external surfaces are surrounded by an antimicrobial material to help trap and capture large particles to improve the carbon air filtration system filter ability to work more efficiently. The air filtration system filter is designed to adsorb thousands of different chemicals and other smaller particles to ensure that clean air particle-free and chemical-free air exits the filter.
The air filtration system pulls air through the air filtration system filter so that the air flows into the interior area of the air filtration system filter chamber and is exposed to a shield that surrounds the UV lamp and is made of a material that controls and enhances the reflection of the UV wavelength enhancing kill ability of micro-organisms that are introduced to it.
It is an object of the present invention for the shield that surrounds the UV lamp to be comprised of aluminum with the internal part of the shield being a polished aluminum. Polished aluminum is aluminum that is shinier and enhances the reflective ability or index of the aluminum. This UV light has a very specific wavelength to help kill and render micro-organisms such as mold, yeast, fungus, spores, endospores, bacteria, and viruses non-contagious. The purpose of the internal polished aluminum shield is to control and enhance the reflection of the UV wavelength enhancing kill ability when micro-organisms are introduced to it. The preferred UV light wavelength, C wavelength, is approximately 354 nm.
It is an object of the present invention for the air to flow through the air filtration system through ports on the top of the air filtration system. It is an object of the present invention for there to be six exit ports and for the exit ports to be re-positioned at any angle when the air leaves the air filtration system.
It is an object of the present invention for the air filtration system to be controlled by a dimmer on-off switch to allow the operator multiple different speeds when using the air filtration system.
The present invention relates to an air filtration system having a fan/motor housing assembly, a UV lamp, a shield that surrounds the UV lamp and is made of a material that controls and enhances the reflection of the UV wavelength enhancing kill ability of micro-organisms that are introduced to it, a base assembly and a filter. The UV lamp has its own electrical assembly.
It is an object of the present invention for the UV shield to be made of aluminum where the inside of the shield that faces the UV lamp comprises polished aluminum.
It is an object of the present invention for the air filtration system filter and other internal components to be protected from UV light by a double wall polished aluminum shield. It is an object of the present invention for the air filtration system to comprise offset holes to allow airflow through the UV shield.
It is an object of the present invention for the UV shield to have outer wall air holes and inner wall air holes that surround the UV lamp. It is an object of the present invention for off-set holes to minimize UV exposure of the air filtration system carbon filter while allowing airflow.
The present invention relates to an air filtration system, where air flows from the room into the air filtration system filter and passes through the outer wall holes of the polished aluminum UV shield. Air flows through the inner holes of the polished aluminum UV shield and is exposed to UV light. UV sterilized air flows through the air flow cap and fan. Clean air then flows out of the vents and into the room. It is an object of the present invention for the polished aluminum shield to seal against the gasket contained in the air filtration system filter to prevent airflow from coming up.
It is an object of the present invention for air to flow from the polished aluminum UV shield to the fan, air to flow from the inner wall ring, air flow from holes of the inner wall, air flow from holes of the outer wall and the choke point for airflow.
It is an object of the present invention for the polished aluminum UV shield to have handles. It is an object of the present invention for the handles to be integrated into the top area of the UV shield. Because the polished aluminum shield and air filtration system filter are in such close contact, by lifting the polished aluminum shield, the air filtration system filter is also lifted up.
As shown by arrow 84, clean air flows out of vents and into the room. 85 shows how the internally polished aluminum shield seals against the gasket to prevent airflow from coming up.
In order to match the airflow without the internally polished aluminum UV shield installed, the minimum air flow area must be found. The airflow through the internally polished aluminum UV shield must be equal or greater than this point. The minimum air flow area from the choke point is 24.7 inches squared. The airflow area of the outer wall holes is 35.6 inches squared. The airflow area from the inner wall holes is 28.3 inches squared. The airflow area from the inner wall ring is 24.7 inches squared. The airflow area from the internally polished aluminum UV shield to the fan is 24.7 inches squared.
