A sterilization air conditioner is provided in this disclosure, which includes an indoor unit and a sterilization device. The sterilization device is arranged on the indoor unit, and the sterilization device is configured for sterilizing the air entering the indoor unit and a body of the indoor unit by releasing chemical or physical media. In view of a structure of the air conditioner, a front end of a filter screen of the air conditioner is equipped with a disinfectant dripping, drenching, sprinkling, spraying or atomizing or a plasma or ultraviolet or electrostatic negative oxygen ion sterilization device, and disinfectant or plasma or ultraviolet or negative oxygen ion is sprayed to the air conditioner for sterilization. The disclosure has advantages of simplicity, convenience and low investment, and is more suitable for sterilization of household split air conditioners and central air-conditioning fan-coil air conditioners.

A deodorization treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention includes a deodorant tank housing microorganism-retaining carriers, supplied with odorous gas, and discharging an exhaust gas in which an odor has been removed by the microorganisms, a water sprinkler device, a water tank, a water sprinkler pipe, an exhaust pipe, a first blower, an aeration device, and a control device controlling at least one of blowing amount of the first blower, watering amount or watering frequency of the water sprinkler device, amount of air bubbles generated in liquid of the aeration device, water supply to the water tank, drainage from the water tank, or temperature of the deodorant tank according to measurement results.

Methods, devices and systems are described for digitally creating new scents or digitally dispensing gas, vapor, or liquid substances. A device includes a container or replaceable cartridge including one or more chambers containing one or more scented substances; a housing structured to include a compartment to hold the cartridge, an opening to allow the one or more scented or unscented substances to dispense to an outer environment from the device, and one or more transporting channels formed between the compartment and the opening, in which each of the one or more transporting channels is configured to deliver a scented substance from the corresponding chamber to the opening for delivering a scent from the one or more scented substances; and an actuator switch arranged in a corresponding transporting channel and rapidly operable to move between an open position and closed position based on an applied signal to selectively allow passage of the scented or unscented substance from the corresponding transporting path.
