This invention provides an air disinfecting device for disinfecting or decontaminate air, which comprises a first metal plate and a second metal plate opposite to the first metal plate, a UVC LED mounted on the first metal plate, and a power supply providing power to the UVC LED. The second metal plate has an area large enough such that lights emitted from the UVC LED will be enclosed inside the air disinfection device.

A UVC vehicle air disinfection system. Modular and/or self-contained modifications to existing conveyances, vehicles and/or systems to accommodate the housing and electrification of UVC bulbs and a blower within the occupied space of a vehicle to accomplish the task of disinfecting the air within the enclosed-space vehicle during operation without exposing the drivers, passengers, patients, and/or medical personnel to harmful UVC radiation. Components of the disclosed system include an enclosure having an inlet and outlet with UVC bulbs and filtration media therebetween. In use, the UVC bulbs illuminate the enclosure as air passes from the inlet to outlet, inactivating or killing microorganisms contained therein and thereby sterilizing the air of the vehicle.

A flexible ion generator device that includes a dielectric layer having a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, a top side, and a bottom side, at least one trace positioned on the dielectric layer and having a plurality of emitters engaged to the at least one trace. A plurality of lights disposed on the dielectric layer.

The air sterilization device with heating apparatus comprises a mainframe, a sterilization system, a heating system, circuits and a control system and a housing. The sterilization system includes an ultraviolet sterilization apparatus to sterilize and disinfect air; the heating system heats the air to inactivate virus; and the housing has an air inlet and an air outlet. Air can circulate into the housing through the air inlet with the action of mainframe and then the air is discharged from the air outlet into a room after the disinfection and sterilization processes are finished. The device with heating apparatus aims at the secondary inactivation of viruses by high temperature after the sterilization and disinfection processes are finished by ultraviolet sterilization apparatus and heating system, and at the decomposition of ozone produced in the process of ultraviolet disinfection to eliminate secondary air pollution by ozone.

A photo catalytic filter is configured such that a plurality of plate-shaped members on which a photocatalyst is carried face each other with a gap therebetween, and the gaps form an air flow path. Each plate-shaped member has end surfaces respectively on an air entrance side and an air exit side of the gap. A UV irradiation unit faces the end surfaces on at least one of the air entrance side and the air exit side of the plate-shaped members, and is a predetermined distance away from those end surfaces. An air supply path for taking air from a lateral direction substantially parallel to the end surfaces, and supplying the air to the flow path, or an air discharge path for discharging the air exiting the flow path to a lateral direction substantially parallel to the end surfaces, is formed between the UV irradiation unit and the end surfaces of the plate-shaped members.

Within examples, a system to provide filtered air to an enclosure for a passenger of a vehicle is described that includes a collapsible canopy hood attachable to a support structure of a vehicle, and a filter unit mounted to the support structure of the vehicle and having an output coupled to the collapsible canopy hood. The filter unit includes an air filtration component to filter air that is then output to the collapsible canopy hood.

Given the complexity of architectural spaces and the need to calculate spherical irradiances, it is difficult to determine how much ultraviolet radiation is necessary to adequately kill airborne pathogens. An interior environment with luminaires is modeled. Spherical irradiance meters are positioned in the model and the direct and indirect spherical irradiance is calculated for each sensor. From this, an irradiance field is interpolated for a volume of interest, and using known fluence response values for killing pathogens, a reduction in the pathogens is predicted. Based on the predicted reduction, spaces are built accordingly, and ultraviolet luminaires are installed and controlled.

A versatile air purification system is disclosed herein. The invention harnesses reflective light trapping components capable of circulating high-intensity visible and infrared radiation. Passing air absorbs a part of the energy in aerosols as viruses and bacteria. Excessive energy consequently induces denaturation of biomacromolecules and can trigger chemical and physical disinfection mechanisms to airborne pathogens. This technology is also compatible with various HVAC systems, like those of medical facilities, buildings, and vehicles, and can be utilized for other fluids too. The system can further be applied as a distinct, portable air purification apparatus.

A portable disinfecting apparatus with effective disinfection properties against pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses is disclosed. Embodiments of the portable disinfecting apparatus include a portable sterilization box having at least one path configured to receive drawn air and to irradiate the drawn air with UV radiation along the path to produce disinfected air. The path may be provided using baffles that are configured, for example, in a serpentine or spiral configuration to provide a non-linear flow path for the air. The UV light sources, such as UV LEDs may be mounted on the baffles. Embodiments of the apparatus include an intake tube connected to the sterilization box for drawing air into the sterilization box from a point high within the room that is to be disinfected. The disinfected air is released from the sterilization box a point lower in the room. As the air is slightly heated during the disinfection process, drawing in air from high in the room and releasing the disinfected air lower in the room provides circulation and mixing of the disinfected air.

An air disinfection device includes a shell having entry and exhaust ports, a power supply installed above the shell, and a dust collecting cylinder installed on the shell, connected to a negative electrode of the power supply, and having air inlet and outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet are communicated with the entry port and the exhaust port, respectively. The conductive rod has one end installed above the shell and connected to a positive electrode of the power supply, and the other end located in the dust collecting cylinder and close to the air inlet. An arrangement direction of the conductive rod is consistent with an axis direction of the dust collecting cylinder. The power supply provides high-voltage current to the conductive rod to form a symmetrically distributed high-voltage electrostatic field inside the dust collecting cylinder to sterilize and disinfect air passing through the dust collecting cylinder.
