The present disclosure relates to a portable air purifier. The portable air purifier includes: a fan case having a narrow width portion at the front thereof and a wide width portion at the rear thereof, the narrow width portion including a space the radiuswise width of which is less than the radiuswise width of the wide width portion, and a fan blade protruding centrifugally further than the space formed inside the narrow width portion while being disposed at the wide width portion.

Provided is a cooking apparatus including: a main body; and a ventilator comprising a ventilator body including an inlet configured to inhale air containing oil mist generated in a cooking process using a heating device, a blower configured to blow the inhaled air from the inlet; and an oil mist filter positioned inside the ventilator body, and configured to remove the oil mist by filtering the oil mist from the inhaled air.

An air filtration system is disclosed. The system comprises an air conduit having an inlet and an outlet, a self-contained electric power source, an electrically powered fan, an air filter located transversely across said air conduit, and an air boundary containment nozzle at the outlet of the air conduit. The nozzle has an outlet diameter of between about 0.5 centimeters and about 4 centimeters. The nozzle minimizes the mixing of the unfiltered ambient air with the filtered air directed to the wearer.

A filter assembly includes a support fame, a filter media, and a conditioning device. The filter media is coupled to the support frame. The filter media has a dirty side that receives an air stream and a clean side that outputs the air stream after having been filtered by the filter media. The conditioning device is coupled to the support frame. The conditioning device is positioned downstream of the clean side of the filter media with respect to the air stream and directly contacts the clean side of the filter media.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and method for evacuation. An exemplary apparatus includes a trocar comprising an inlet at a distal end and an exit port at a proximal end, the inlet and the exit port are fluidly connected by a tubular hollow body circumscribing a cavity extending through a longitudinal axis of the trocar, the trocar includes a filter maintained within the cavity operable to filter at least one of fluid and particulates from a flow passing through the cavity. The apparatus further includes a vacuum source fluidly connected to the exit port, the vacuum source operable to pull at least one of fluid and particulates through the inlet, the cavity and the exit port.

A filter element has a filter media assembly extending between a first end and a second end to define a media length along a longitudinal axis. The filter media assembly defines a central opening on an upstream side and an outer radial boundary on a downstream side. A first endcap is coupled to the first end. The first endcap has a media potting structure defining an annular surface abutting the first end of the filter media assembly, an inner tubular flange extending longitudinally from the annular surface into the central opening, and an outer tubular flange extending longitudinally from the annular surface over the outer radial boundary of the first end of the filter media assembly. The first endcap has an outer circumferential sealing surface about the longitudinal axis and a shroud to obstruct fluid flow extending longitudinally from the outer circumferential sealing surface towards the second end.

An airborne pathogen extraction system that provides for continuous airborne pathogen particle extraction from a specifically targeted area in a room or a specifically targeted area proximate to a user. The pathogenic particles are filtered and/or disinfected before the air is returned proximate to the originating location, or are directed an area away from the user(s). The airborne pathogen extraction systems and methods lower the chances of contagion or infection from airborne pathogens, such as viruses.

Provided is a humidifier comprising a housing including a suction port and a discharge port; a water container having an opening/closing valve; a water tank unit provided with a water tank, a humidifying member, a blower unit for providing air-blowing force, a water feed adjusting member installed on the water tank unit, a water feed operating member for moving the water feed adjusting member, and a controller for controlling an operation of the water feed operating member. The water feed adjusting member includes a space forming member having an opening, the opening guiding the water discharged from an outlet of the opening/closing valve to the water tank unit, and the space forming member includes a confinement space that may confine the water discharged from the outlet when the housing is inclined at a certain angle or greater.

A buried type air purifier including a main body to be buried in a buried space through a buried opening provided on a boundary surface between a use space and the buried space, the main body having an intake passage and a discharge passage which take in and discharge air, respectively; a fan to guide air of the use space along the intake passage and the discharge passage; and a filter to filter the air. The main body includes: a first main body part having a fan accommodating part to accommodate the fan; and a second main body part having a cross sectional area, which is parallel with the boundary surface, being smaller than the first main body part, where the second main body part is formed to pass the intake and discharge passages through which the air guided via the fan accommodated in the fan accommodating part passes.

A separator tank and a gas compressor having a separator tank are provided. The separator tank includes a tank body defining an inner volume, a tank inlet pipe providing fluid communication with the inner volume of the tank body, wherein the tank inlet pipe tangentially penetrates the tank body and is oriented to direct fluid entering the tank body in a spiral fluid flow pathway, and a sump tube positioned to collect fluid flowing within the tank body, the sump tube comprising a vertically oriented opening oriented to align and capture fluid flowing along the spiral fluid flow pathway.
