A hygiene management device for an entrance hall includes a fan assembly which generates an air blowing force, a function module which provides a storage space, an air discharger which discharges air toward a person, and an opening/closing unit which selectively stops an air flow. Particularly, the opening/closing unit is configured such that air is supplied into at least one of the function module and a duct unit or simultaneously into both the function module and the duct unit.

A hygiene management device for an entrance hall is designed to emit far-UV light from upper and lower sides toward a person by reflecting the far-UV light emitted from the upper side to the person's lower body by a reflector located at the lower side, and reflecting the far-UV light emitted from the lower side to the person's upper body by a reflector located at the upper side. Accordingly, a sterilization effect on the person is improved.

[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to develop an air curtain device generating parallel air flow based on the knowledge in that parallel air flow generated at the outlet of a turbulent flow runup zone does not include vortex flows and has strong air current interruption performance.

[Disclosure of the Invention] An air curtain device comprises a first ventilation box comprising a discharge elbow provided with guide vanes, a honeycomb, an industrial use ventilating fan, a suction elbow provided with guide vanes, and a pre-filter, wherein the aforesaid elements are sequentially accommodated in a rectangular box whose one side surface is open and an outlet port of the discharge elbow provided with guide vanes and the pre-filter are disposed on the open side surface of the rectangular box, and a second ventilation box of the same structure as the first ventilation box, wherein the first ventilation box is put on an entrance floor with the discharge elbow provided with guide vanes above, and the second ventilation box is put on the entrance floor with the discharge elbow provided with guide vanes below, so that the first ventilation box and the second ventilation box oppose each other at their open side surfaces in a mutually upside-down manner and the first ventilation box and the second ventilation box are distanced from each other by a breadth Xg of the entrance, and wherein an entrance ceiling is provided to a breadth equal to the distance between the ventilation boxes so as to connect a top of the first ventilation box with a top of the second ventilation box, thereby forming an air curtain device entrance, wherein relation between the breadth Xg of the entrance of the air curtain device and a breadth D of the outlet ports of the discharge elbows provided with guide vanes is set at Xg5D.

Device and method for a UV air sanitizer with boundlessly-extended sanitizing chamber are provided. The device comprises an enclosure with an inlet emitter area with directional louvers. The inlet emitter area optimized for drawing in outside air stream, while simultaneously emitting ultraviolet germicidal radiation into said outside air stream. The device further comprises a fan and a disinfection unit with at least one UV lamp. The UV lamp is uniquely positioned and directed inside the enclosure, so as to simultaneously irradiate: air moving inside the enclosure, air entering through the inlet emitter area, as well as a moving stream of air, said air located outside of the enclosure and drawn toward the inlet area by the fan. The method includes the steps required to use the device for creation of one or multiple germicidally-protective defensive air curtains.

An active airflow inhibiting apparatus for an entranceway comprises: a structure positioned adjacent an entranceway of a building and defines a passage therethrough for accessing the entranceway. The structure defines at least one plenum chamber and first and second outlet slots fluidically coupled to the plenum chamber. A fan fluidically connected to the plenum chamber supplies an airflow to the plenum chamber in order to selectively form a jet of air from the first outlet slot in a first mode of operation and from the second outlet slot in a second mode of operation The first and second outlet slots are configured so that the respective jets of air are each directed towards a centre of the structure, with the jet of air from the first outlet slot being directed away from the entranceway and the jet of air from the second outlet slot being directed towards the entranceway.

A hygiene management device for an entrance hall and a control method of the same are proposed. The hygiene management device may be installed in the space of the entrance hall, and when the opening of an entrance door is detected, air is discharged toward the entrance door by tilting an air discharger toward the entrance door, and when the closing of the entrance door is detected, the air discharger is tilted to a preset initial position to stop the discharging of air. Accordingly, during the opening of the entrance door, the introduction of external air into the space of the entrance hall may be minimized.

An apparatus is provided for preventing the spread of air-borne contaminants in a defined space. The apparatus comprises an air flow outlet adjacent to or within the defined space, an air flow inlet adjacent to or within the defined space, and a conduit for transporting air from the air flow inlet to the air flow outlet. An air treatment module is provided within or adjacent the conduit for extracting air-borne contaminants from air transported from the air flow inlet to the air flow outlet. The air flow outlet deposits air into the defined space substantially evenly across an outlet area.

A hygiene management device for an entrance hall and the control method of the same are proposed. The hygiene management device may be installed in an entrance space, and when a person is detected at a preset position, distance between an air discharger and the person may be detected. When the detected distance is within a reference distance, air may be discharged. In addition, an air discharge condition suitable for a person may be preset, and when the person enters the entrance hall, the person's face may be detected, and air may be discharged to the person according to the air discharge condition preset for the person.
