An air filtration system includes a frame directing an airflow through the air filtration system and a media filter disposed in the frame including one or more filtration elements. The system further includes one or more alignment features and one or more sealing elements interactive with the one or more alignment features to prevent incorrect installation of the media filter into the frame. A method of installing a media filter in an air filtration system includes aligning an alignment feature of the media filter with an opening in a frame of the air filtration system and inserting the media filter into the frame. The alignment feature ensures that the media filter is inserted in the frame in a correct orientation.

A personal air purifier is a portable device that eliminates all pathogens and particulates present in the air breathed by the user. The device includes a purifier housing, an air inlet, an air outlet, a metallic air path, an air ionizer, a power source, an air fan, and a controller. The purifier housing retains the metallic air path, the air ionizer, the power source, the air fan, and the controller. The air inlet and the air outlet are openings that allow airflow through the purifier housing. The air fan generates airflow through the purifier housing. The metallic air path and the air ionizer sanitize the airflow through the purifier housing. The power source provide the operating power for the air ionizer, the air fan, and the controller. The power source positively charges the metallic air path. The controller enables the selective control of the air ionizer and the air fan.

A self-cleaning ion generator device includes a housing having a bottom portion and a top portion selectively secured to each other, the top portion contains a base portion extending to an outer edge and having an internal side and an external side, a first pair of opposed sidewalls and a second pair of opposed sidewalls extend from the outer edge of the base portion forming a cavity therein. Ion terminals extend from the housing, and a cleaning apparatus for cleaning the two ion terminals.

A discharge device is housed in a housing portion of a holder. The discharge device includes a housed section and a discharge electrode protruding from the housed section. The housed section is housed in the housing portion. The housed section includes a bottom wall and two side walls. The two side walls oppose each other in a longitudinal direction of the bottom wall. At least one of the two side walls is connected to the bottom wall via a curved surface. The curved surface guides a corner of the housing portion when the housed section is housed in the housing portion. As a result, the housed section is housed in the housing portion without catching on the corner.

This application relates to a modular electrostatic precipitator. In one aspect, the modular electrostatic precipitator includes a housing providing a flow path through which air is moved and a charging module configured to emit electromagnetic waves to the air. The precipitator may also include a first attaching/detaching unit configured to attach and detach the charging module to and from the housing and a particle collecting module configured to collect particles in the air by applying an electrostatic force to the air. The precipitator may further include a second attaching and detaching unit configured to attach and detach the particle collecting module to and from the housing.
