An air filtration system which pulls air into and through the air filtration system filter where the air is exposed to a UV lamp that provides UV light, the UV lamp surrounded by an internally polished aluminum shield or other device made of a material that reflects or enhances kill ability of micro-organisms when exposed to UV light.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus that help reduce and prevent infection by controlling and/or reducing the level of contaminants, which include pathogens, allergens and/or odor-causing agents including VOCs. Photocatalytic oxidation is performed in a high humidity environment so that hydrogen peroxide molecules are readily produced.

The present invention provides a photo-electronic air disinfector, which comprises a housing containing a fan, a UVC light source, a photocatalyst module consisting of a structure with entire surface area coated with a photocatalyst positioned by the side of the UVC light source, an air guide unit installed with reflecting mirrors on the internal walls of the unit. When air is drawn in the air guide unit of the device, the photocatalyst after absorbing UVC light emitted by the UVC light source or reflected through the mirrors generates superoxide (O2—) and hydroxyl radical (—OH) with strong oxidation power, which can decompose organic matter and various germs in the drawn in air and render them harmless. Sterilization effect of the present invention is four-folded, firstly the air filter removing dusts and germs from the air before entering the device, secondly the photocatalysis produced by the photocatalyst module exposed to direct and reflected UVC light resulting in oxidation process for decomposing organic matter and various germs and rendering them harmless, thirdly UVC light rays and their multiple reflection through the mirrors for bacteria termination, and fourthly negative ions produced and added to the air to condense fine particles into larger ones for settling on the ground and thus reducing harmful pollutants in the air.

A photocatalyst filtration system for a vehicle includes a housing having an airflow path, and a filter configured to filter air flowing in the airflow path, the filter having a first photocatalyst and a second photocatalyst. The system further includes a first ultraviolet (UV) light source disposed proximate the filter and configured to energize the first photocatalyst, and a second UV light source disposed proximate the filter and configured to produce light having a shorter wavelength than light produced by the first UV light source, and configured to energize the second photocatalyst. One of the first photocatalyst or the second photocatalyst is configured to remove odor from the air. The other of the first photocatalyst or the second photocatalyst is configured to remove bacteria from the air.

A humidifier/dehumidifier device is disclosed herein. The humidifier and dehumidifier both, respectively, evaporate water from and condense water into a shared (same) water storage container. The device is fitted with an air intake and at least one air outtake. In embodiments of the technology, one or more of the air intakes receives air from outdoors. One or both of an indoor and/or the outdoor intake is used to receive air based on a determination that an indoor and outdoor humidity and temperature is most efficient to achieve a desired indoor humidity or temperature.

There is provided an apparatus, system and method to treat air and surfaces using light. The apparatus comprises a hollow body having an inlet and outlet for passage of air. Treatment lamps are body mounted for movement between an air treatment position to treat air inside the body and a surface treatment position to treat air/an external surface. When installed in a room environment, the apparatus, via a system controller, operates in an air treatment mode, a surface treatment mode or an off mode. Room sensors (e.g. interlock and presence) communicate with the controller and the controller permits or prevents operation in the surface treatment mode accordingly. If any interlock sensor senses an open position or the presence sensor senses a presence (e.g. motion), operation in the surface mode is prevented. A remote control communicates with the controller to select an operating mode.

A method for intelligently preventing and handling indoor air pollution is adapted to be implemented in an indoor space and includes providing a cloud processing device to receive and intelligently compare an outdoor gas detection data, an indoor gas detection data, and device gas detection data with each other. Then, the cloud processing device remotely transmits a control signal to the communication relay station and further to an indoor gas exchange system, so that the indoor gas exchange system is capable of intelligently enabling the gas processing device and controlling the operation time of the gas processing device for exchanging a polluted gas in the indoor space with the outdoor gas. Moreover, the gas exchanger can perform purification for the polluted gas at the location of the gas exchanger, thereby allowing the polluted gas in the indoor space to be exchanged into a clean, safe, and breathable gas.
