A compact lightweight air filtration system is disclosed. The air filtration system includes a hydrophobic particulate/coalescing filter and a cleanable ozone converter housed in a housing with an inlet and an outlet. Air flowing from the inlet to the outlet passes through the particulate/coalescing filter element and then the cleanable ozone converter to remove particulates, aerosols, liquids, and ozone.

An engine exhaust gas treatment system, comprising an exhaust gas dust removal system and an exhaust gas ozone purification system. The exhaust gas dust removal system comprises an exhaust gas dust removal system inlet, an exhaust gas dust removal system outlet, and an exhaust gas electric field apparatus (1021). The exhaust gas electric field apparatus (1021) comprises an exhaust gas electric field apparatus inlet, an exhaust gas electric field apparatus outlet, an exhaust gas dust removal electric field cathode (10212), and an exhaust gas dust removal electric field anode (10211). The exhaust gas dust removal electric field cathode (10212) and the exhaust gas dust removal electric field anode (10211) are configured to produce an exhaust gas ionized dust removal electric field. The engine exhaust gas treatment system is able to effectively remove particles in engine exhaust gas, and the purification treatment effect for engine exhaust gas is good.

A system and method for determining a remaining useful life of an ozone converter of an aircraft are disclosed. The method comprises using flight data of the aircraft and location-based ozone exposure data to determining a cumulative ozone exposure for the ozone converter. The cumulative ozone exposure and a predetermined ozone exposure capacity of the ozone converter are used to determine a remaining useful life of the ozone converter. Based on the determined remaining useful life of the ozone converter, an indication that the ozone converter is approaching an end-of-useful-life condition is provided.

A gas treatment device that treats a gas to be treated, including oxygen, introduced at a gas inlet and that exhausts a treated gas at a gas outlet, the gas treatment device includes: a gas channel that communicates the gas inlet with the gas outlet; a blower that allows the gas to be treated to flow from the gas inlet to the gas outlet; an ultraviolet light source that is disposed in the gas channel and radiates ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 230 nm or less; a filter that is disposed at a side at which the gas outlet is located from the ultraviolet light source in the gas channel, and that adsorbs at least ozone; and a control unit that controls the blower to operate, wherein the control unit controls the blower to start a blowing operation after the ultraviolet light source starts radiating the ultraviolet light.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a catalyst article comprising steps: (a) preparing a washcoat composition by combining at least the following components: a support material comprising a mixed oxide, a mixture of oxides or a molecular sieve comprising (i) alumina and (ii) silica and/or zirconia; a metal oxide sol comprising at least one of titania, silica or zirconia; a liquid medium; (b) applying the washcoat composition to a substrate to form a washcoating; and (c) drying and/or calcining the washcoating; wherein the method further comprises a step of impregnating the support material with a platinum group metal component. The prepared catalyst article may be suitable for the treatment of emissions from an internal combustion engine or a gas turbine, for example, the treatment of carbon monoxide and/or formaldehyde emissions from a natural gas fueled internal combustion engine or gas turbine.

An apparatus and method are provided for capturing and sterilizing contaminants, such as viruses and the like. Air containing the contaminants is drawn into the apparatus that comprises a housing having a customized number and arrangement of dissimilar treatment chambers to remove a particular contaminate targeted for removal. The treatment chambers are selected from a group of pre manufactured, self-contained chambers that are singularly or in combination inserted into the housing and within an air flow path created by a fan. The group of treatment chambers include a UV chamber, a temperature chamber and an ozone converter chamber. The customized arrangement of treatment chambers are each placed in the air flow path and programmed to provide customized sterilization of any type of contaminate while persons are present in the space being treated.

In some examples, a composition includes a hydrocarbon and ozone catalyst. The hydrocarbon and ozone catalyst includes one or more catalytic layers overlying a substrate. The one or more catalytic layers include a non-catalytic component, an ozone catalytic component, and a hydrocarbon catalytic component. The non-catalytic component includes titanium oxide. The ozone catalytic component includes cobalt oxide. The hydrocarbon catalytic component includes platinum. An outermost layer of the one or more catalytic layers includes the hydrocarbon catalytic component distributed in the non-catalytic component.

A gas evacuation device for filtering a gas is provided. The gas evacuation device comprises a gas channel including a gas-channel inlet and a gas-channel outlet, a gas detection main body disposed in the gas channel near the gas-channel inlet for detecting the gas introduced through the gas-channel inlet and generating detection data, a gas guider for guiding the gas, and a driving controller for controlling enablement and disablement of the gas detection main body and the gas guider.

Heat exchanger of an air-conditioning system of a cabin of a transport vehicle, comprising: a primary circuit supplied by a first air flow (169), a secondary circuit supplied by a second air flow (168), a casing (161) defining an air-circulation enclosure (162), a primary circuit inlet box (164) allowing entry into said air-circulation enclosure, and a primary circuit outlet box (165) allowing exit from the air-circulation enclosure, characterized in that said inlet box (164) is mounted removably on said casing (161), and in that it houses a three-dimensional structure (163) forming a catalytic and/or adsorbent support for treating the air of said primary circuit, and a means for distributing said first air flow into said heat-exchange matrix.
