Activated Charcoal Air Ventilation System Filter

Abstract

A vacuum-fed filtration apparatus includes a filter/purifier housing having air inlets (through the screen) at the upper and lower portion of the filter housing and a loose activated charcoal bed within the lower interior portion of the filter housing. Activated charcoal is located in the interior cavity of the filter housing between the bottom and top screens, which feeds openings that enters the air chamber of the HVAC system. The vacuum forces the activated charcoal media to float in the inner cavity of the filter housing when the HVAC is activated. The upper and lower portion of the filter housing (mesh) is configured to prevent the activated charcoal from escaping the vessel.

Claims

1. An air activated charcoal filter apparatus for home or business; comprising an air permeable mesh structure with a loose bed of activated charcoal inside the cavity.

2. A mesh structure having an air entry side (bottom) and an air exit side (top) wherein air flows through the screens or mesh from the upward directed air (vacuum), through the bottom of the filter.

3. The filter suspends or levitates the loose activated charcoal within the bed of a mesh structure in an air column to purify air directed with a vacuum from an air chamber of a HVAC ventilation system or by any fan pointing upward into the bottom of a mesh structure.

4. Suspended activated charcoal captures the maximum amount of air borne chemical contaminants, house hold cleaners, smoke and other odors from the air flowing through the filter.

5. Draws a high volume of air through the mesh structure with relatively low interference.

6. All mesh structures are constructed with glue.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0022] Referring now to the drawing shown in FIG. 2, a screen made with 304 stainless steel strands but can be made of other metals, polyethylene, or any other plastic/polymer or any other natural type material without limitation, evenly woven to create a mesh box structure. All mesh structures are constructed with glue. The diameter and size of the air filter cavity depends on the width and height of the air chamber. A one-piece unit with loose activated carbon bed filter (10 mm) The filter bed preferably comprises a loose 10 mm activated charcoal layer that has been found to be helpful in filtering odors and gases and any other contaminants, which is one of the major problems of respiratory air inside the home.
