The present disclosure is related to an air sterilization-and-disinfection module that embodies two bactericidal factors. The module is directed to a field of sterilization for an air conditioning conduit. A corrugated board is disposed in the middle of the module. A plurality of wavy channels are formed in between multiple corrugated boards. Several metal meshes are disposed at top and bottom of the multiple corrugated boards. A sterilization component is disposed inside the wavy channels for sterilizing the air conditioning conduits. The two bactericidal factors are pure ultraviolet irradiation sterilization and photocatalyst sterilization. The sterilization component irradiates ultraviolet ray and the ultraviolet ray is spilled out from top and bottom of the wavy channels since the light is reflected by a reflective layer on the surfaces of wavy channels. The spilled ultraviolet ray stimulates the photocatalyst mesh on the metal meshes for achieving the two bactericidal factors.

In an air-outlet unit that forms an air outlet of an air conditioner in an automobile, a light-emission control unit controls, in accordance with the airflow rate of the air conditioner that is obtained from an air-conditioning control device of the automobile, an LED driving unit that drives an LED array in such a manner that the amount of light that is emitted from the LED array and that activates a photocatalytic filter increases as the airflow rate of the air conditioner increases. The light that is emitted from the LED array is visible light, and some of the light that is reflected by the photocatalytic filter transmits to an area outside of the air-outlet unit by passing through fins that adjust the direction and the flow rate of the air blown by the air-outlet unit.

An air conditioner unit may include a housing, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a compressor, a sterilization light assembly, and a controller. The housing may define an indoor portion and an outdoor portion. The housing may further define an exhaust outlet downstream from the indoor portion to exhaust air therefrom. The sterilization light assembly may be disposed within the indoor portion. The controller may be in operable communication with the indoor fan and the sterilization light assembly. The controller may be configured to initiate a sterilizing operation. The sterilizing operation may include directing activation of the indoor fan to motivate air through the indoor portion, detecting activation of the indoor fan to motivate air through the indoor portion, and directing activation of the sterilization light assembly to transmit an ultraviolet light emission within the indoor portion based on detected activation of the indoor fan.

A system includes a plurality of carbon dioxide sensors each located in one of a plurality of spaces in a building and a plurality of air purification systems each located in one of the plurality of spaces and each including a UVC light source arranged within an internal space of a purification chamber and adapted to irradiate the internal space with UVC, an airflow system arranged to introduce environmental air from outside of the air purification system into the internal space of the purification chamber and expel purified air from the purification chamber back outside of the air purification system wherein each of the plurality of air purification systems is operable to purify air in response to an indication that an associated carbon dioxide sensor has sensed a level of carbon dioxide in excess of a predetermined threshold.

An air enhancing device (1) for disseminating molecules and/or other substances into the air is disclosed comprising a base frame (5) configured to be fixedly mounted in a wall, panel, or furniture of a human accessible space, in particular in an in-wall box or an in-wall cavity in a wall of a building; a cartridge holder (7) attached to the base frame (5) and configured to receive a removable cartridge, the cartridge being designed to contain a fluid substance; and a fan and/or microblower configured to draw air into the air enhancing device (1) and expel air containing at least a portion of the substance out of the air enhancing device (1) into the human accessible space; and/or an emission module attached to the base frame (5) in fluid communication with the cartridge and configured to distribute a portion of the fluid substance into the air.

A UV sterilization system is provided. In some embodiments, the UV sterilization system includes a first UV LED device having a LED circuit and LED emitters. The UV sterilization system can include a sensor electrically coupled to the first UV LED device, the sensor configured to interrupt the operation of the first UV LED device upon detecting movement within an air conditioning system. The UV sterilization system can include a power module electrically coupled to the sensor, where the power module is electrically coupled to a power supply of the air conditioning system. In some embodiments, the air conditioning system can include a packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) unit or a split-air air-conditioner system, and the UV sterilization system can be a part of the PTAC unit or split-air air-conditioning system. In some embodiments, the sensor includes a motion sensor and/or an occupancy sensor.

A photocatalyst filter is provided. The photocatalyst filter includes: a base in which an internal space is formed. The internal space is permeable to fluid, and a plurality of photocatalyst beads are provided in the internal space, wherein a surface of the internal space is reflective.

A system and method to both reduce interior levels of volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide that is more energy efficient than increasing building ventilation rates. The system comprises a carbon dioxide scrubber that operates in a continuous manner, and optionally but preferably further comprises an air purifier.

In order to guarantee reliable maintenance, a reliable energy supply and simple handling of the service cover and the vehicle air conditioner at the smallest possible structural cost, it is proposed that the service cover has electrical means, by means of which an air-treatment device arranged within the vehicle air conditioner can be supplied with the electrical energy necessary in order to operate said air-treatment device from outside the vehicle air conditioner.
