A system for thermally conditioning and moving a fluid includes a thermoelectric device to convert electrical energy into thermal energy and produce a temperature change in response to an electrical current being applied thereto. The thermoelectric device can include a main-side and a waste side. A fluid moving device can produce a fluid flow that is in thermal communication with the thermoelectric device so that the thermal energy generated by the thermoelectric device is transferred to or from the fluid flow. A flow control valve selectively can direct the fluid flow along a main-side fluid flow path and/or a waste side fluid flow path.

A humidification and air cleaning apparatus is provided that may include a lower base, a lower housing, a plurality of legs, a leg wall, and an input assembly. The lower base may be supported by an installation surface. The lower housing may be spaced apart upwardly from the lower base and form a suction gap by being spaced apart from the lower base. The plurality of legs may be disposed on at least one of the lower base or a lower housing. The plurality of legs may support the lower housing. The leg wall may connect two adjacent legs to each other. The input assembly may be disposed at the lower housing. The input assembly may protrude toward the suction gap. The input assembly may receive a wireless signal. The plurality of legs may include a first leg and a second leg adjacent to each other. The input assembly may be disposed outside of the leg wall. As an input assembly receiving a voice signal is exposed to the outside, a user's voice may be effectively recognized. Further, as the leg wall is disposed between the input assembly and the lower housing inlet, it is possible to suppress propagation of operating noise generated by a blowing unit to the input assembly.

The present specification, in some embodiments, describes a personal wear device that direct the flow of air away from a person's face, reducing or blocking the flow of infectious pathogens towards a patient's naso-oral area thus reducing the risk of inhalation of infectious or noxious pathogens. In another embodiment, the present specification describes a personal air management mask system for use by a patient for reducing or preventing exposure to and inhalation of infected aerosol during a medical procedure.

A hygiene management device for an entrance hall includes a fan assembly, a duct and an air discharger that discharges air toward a person at positions around the person in consideration of a person's height or such that an air discharge angle is adjusted upward/downward in consideration of a person's face position or a person's height.

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.

An air purification unit is provided for individuals seated at a table that has a unit body adapted to be mounted at a mounting height at or above the approximate head height of individuals seated at the table, and in a position between the individuals. A motorized fan system is provided within the unit body that is configured to draw air from at least one inlet proximate the bottom of the unit body. A filter is positioned in communication with the inlet and the fan system for filtering air drawn through the inlet. The unit body has at least two ducted outlets disposed radially or axially for discharging filtered air toward the individuals, while the unit prevents cross-flow of breath air between the individuals.

An air circulator includes a blower unit that is provided with an airflow opening on a front side of the blower unit. A grill is provided in the airflow opening, and is provided with airflow guide blades in a spiral manner. The air circulator also includes a controller that achieves a rhythm air in which weak wind and strong wind are switched over by controlling a rotational speed of a motor of the blower unit. The grill is provided with plural airflow guide blades in a spiral manner. Inner end portions of the airflow guide blades closer to the center of the spiral of the airflow guide blades are protruded from outer end portions if the airflow guide blades in an airflow direction.

[SUMMARY]

[Problems to be Solved]

To provide an air curtain apparatus that is small and simple, capable of separating a space, and capable of preventing entry of foreign matters such as droplets from one subspace into the other subspace.

[Solution]

An air curtain apparatus 1 includes a plurality of blowers 11 arrayed in an up-down direction and a plurality of second blowers 21 arrayed in the up-down direction. An air inlet port 23 included in the blower 21 faces an air outlet port 14 included in the blower 11. In a pair of the blower 11 and the blower 21, the blower 11 blows out a helical air current SA1 from the air outlet port 14, and the blower 21 sucks in the helical air current SA1 from the air inlet port 23. The air curtain apparatus 1 forms an air curtain AC1 with a plurality of the helical air currents SA1, the plurality of the helical air currents SA1 being blown from the plurality of the air outlet ports 14 and sucked into the plurality of air inlet ports 23.

An air circulator includes a blower unit that is provided with an airflow opening on a front side of the blower unit. A grill is provided in the airflow opening, and is provided with airflow guide blades in a spiral manner Each of the airflow guide blades is convex toward an airflow direction between its inner end portion and its outer end portion to form the grill three-dimensionally. The grill further includes a circular ring that intersects with the airflow guide blades.

The present invention relates to a portable personal air purifier in which there are mounted a purifier body configured to have a shape that can be carried by a user and to purify air by means of a filter, a ventilation body connected to the purifier body and configured to communicate air, and a respiration mechanism connected to the ventilation body, and configured to suck purified air; wherein the purifier body is configured such that a filter accommodating space is formed in a casing so that a filter is inserted thereinto, and the filter accommodating space has a structure in which the filter can be withdrawn in one direction; and wherein the respiration mechanism separates a ventilation line for air flowing from the purifier body and a ventilation line for air exhaled from the user.
