A system and method include an ultraviolet (UV) lamp including one or more UV light emitters coupled to electrodes. The UV light emitters are configured to emit UV light within an environment. A power source is coupled to the UV lamp. The power source is configured to supply power to the UV lamp. A pressure sensor is configured to detect an ambient air pressure within the environment. A temperature sensor is configured to detect an ambient air temperature within the environment. A control unit is configured to analyze air pressure data regarding the ambient air pressure and air temperature data regarding the ambient air temperature in relation to a breakdown voltage for the UV lamp. The control unit is further configured to modify at least one aspect of the UV lamp in response to the ambient air pressure and the ambient air temperature reaching a breakdown threshold that is less than the breakdown voltage.

A system includes an airflow passage and an air purification element. The airflow passage is configured to confine a flow of air and direct the flow of air toward a space. The air purification element is positioned in the airflow passage and configured to produce a peroxide to oxidize contaminants in air flowing through the airflow passage. The air purification element includes a peroxide-generating structure and a matrix containing a peroxide-activating catalyst configured to activate peroxide produced. The air purification element is configured to produce the peroxide from a water vapor and oxygen in the air within the airflow passage when energized by an energy source, and the matrix is configured to allow the contaminants to contact peroxide activated by the peroxide-activating catalyst.

In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus for treating air discharged to a passenger suite of an aircraft includes an enclosure that houses components for treating air passing through the enclosure and a detachable cover connected to the enclosure that provides access to the components. Air treatment components associated with air treatment flow paths within the enclosure include a blower with a fan that draws air through an air intake on the enclosure. An air duct is affixed to a discharge of the blower and directs the air discharged from the blower through an air treatment flow path that includes a scented cartridge with a scented medium that is absorbed into the air passing through the air duct. An air exhaust port is attached at a discharge end of the air duct that discharges the air conditioned by the scented cartridge through an air exhaust vent on the enclosure.

An air purification device for use in an air management system includes a housing formed from a polymer matrix composite structure and a filter arranged within the housing. The filter is formed from a porous composite structure including a plurality of filter fibers such that air is configured to flow through the filter. Microbes within the air are configured to contact the plurality of filter fibers.

The invention is directed to an electromagnetic air filtration system and process for removing charged pathogens, such as, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, from an air stream. The air filtration system and process provide a magnetic field within an airflow to remove charged pathogens from the airflow, thereby producing treated air.

An electrostatic atomizing apparatus includes a main body portion, a container, a first air flow path, a second air flow path, an electrostatic atomization unit, and an air flow generation unit. The container is detachable from the main body portion, is capable of storing a liquid, and includes a first ventilation hole and a second ventilation hole. The first air flow path includes a first end that includes an air suction port, and a second end that connects to the first ventilation hole. The second air flow path includes a third end that connects to the second ventilation hole, and a fourth end that includes an air exhaust port. The electrostatic atomization unit is disposed on the second air flow path. The air flow generation unit generates an air flow that causes air to flow through the first air flow path, through the container, and through the second air flow path.

The liquid container according to the present disclosure is a liquid container to be detachably attached to the main body portion of an apparatus. The liquid container includes a container main body, a ventilation hole, and a lid. The container main body includes an upper portion, a bottom portion, and side portions connecting the upper portion and the bottom portion. The container main body is capable of storing a liquid. The ventilation hole penetrates the upper portion of the container main body. The lid is disposed on an inner side of the container main body and, when the liquid is stored in the container main body, is capable of closing or opening the ventilation hole according to a change in a surface of the liquid. The lid includes a fulcrum positioned closer to the side portion of the container main body than to the ventilation hole. The lid is pivotable around the fulcrum with respect to the ventilation hole.
