    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

    [0069] FIG. 1 shows a breathing treatment equipment (100) according to the present invention.

    [0070] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) comprises:

    [0071] a silicon stabilizer (1) that prevents vibrations, a multifilament diffuser (2) preferably made of stainless steel where the air is subdivided into hundreds of vertical sheets dispersing and slowing down its passage, an ejection flow means (3) for the air ejection, a recirculation flow means (4) for recirculation of air inside the cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100), an aluminum deflector (5), aluminum compression sheets (6) that slow down the laminar flow without creating noise, vibrations or turbulence, a deflector blade for recirculation (7), an air flow divider (8) comprising a micanita insulating protector, a recirculation channel (9), a multiple filter system (10), a set of UV-C LEDs (11), ionizers (12) and a resistivity system for thermal sterilization (13).

    Breathing Sweep:

    [0072] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) has a horizontal arrangement with a length between 50 and 120 cm that provides a laminar flow of treated air to create a breathing sweep. That is, a sheet of treated air, i.e. free of nanoparticles, viruses and bacteria, and which reaches the face of the patient before being contaminated in a path e.g. between 60 and 140 cm.

    100% Silent:

    [0073] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) is 100% silent. This is achieved by combining laminar flow, passing speed versus filter size (preferably filters (400/800×40×160) and tangential fans (400-800 mm) in parallel and horizontal arrangement, with DC levitation motors to avoid friction, electronically keeping the speed of air passing through the filters electronically ultra-low and eliminating all types of vibrations typical of the centrifugal forces exerted by a moving motor. These vibrations are absorbed by the high-density silicon stabilizer (1) placed on the upper part of the equipment for this purpose, which is connected perimetrically with the resonance box inside the equipment. With all this, between 0 and 5 Db is achieved in silent night mode, running at 550 Rpm.

    [0074] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) comprises a high density silicon stabilizer (1) (2.3 gr/cm3) with a weight of 7.5 kg to absorb all types of vibrations avoiding noise and hum.

    Imperceptible Laminar Flow:

    [0075] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) emits an air flow so that the patient does not perceive it. A stream of air would prevent sleep, irritate the skin, and create eye and ear problems. For this, the cell regeneration and respiratory treatment equipment (100) comprises a stainless steel multifilament diffuser (2) in a vertical arrangement which, placed at the outlet of the air ejector, divides it into thousands of parts creating a sensation similar to that of the air through a tree. That is, the air is subdivided into hundreds of vertical sheets dispersing and slowing down its passage. The metal sheets of the multifilament diffuser (2) have a distance between them between 2 to 4 mm and comprise an arrangement such as e.g. vertical oblong rings or springs that prevent whistles or noises when passing air.

    [0076] Subsequently, this air is redirected horizontally through compression plates (6) preferably made of aluminum and in the shape of a trumpet that, like channels, are arranged at the air outlet horizontally, further slowing down the laminar flow without creating noise or vibrations or turbulence. Thus, the air will reach the patient imperceptibly without turbulence.

    [0077] In order for a user to sleep without being disturbed by air streams in the face, the combination of various factors that generate laminar flow and not turbulent flow is essential.

    [0078] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) includes an extra-long horizontal tangential fan (400-800 mm), and a parallel filtering system of the same size (400/800×40 mm×160 mm), with a separation distance (chamber) between 25 and 40 mm.

    [0079] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) comprises a DC direct current motor and electronics that reduce the revolutions of the ventilation system depending on the reading of nanoparticles in the air and the presence of light (night mode), working in four modes: [0080] Silent mode: 550 Rpm, [0081] White mode: 750 Rpm, [0082] mode V2: 950 Rpm, [0083] mode V3: 1200 Rpm,

    [0084] In this way, the air is directed through the ejection area through the multifilament diffuser (2) preferably made of stainless steel where the air is subdivided into hundreds of vertical sheets dispersing and slowing it down, where the flow is broken and finally the air passes through aluminum compression plates (6) that slow down the laminar flow without creating noise, vibrations or turbulence and that direct it in a stable horizontal way, thus guaranteeing a continuous laminar flow (1930 Reynolds medium laminar flow).

    UV-C Sterilization Optimization System

    [0085] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) incorporates a UV-C LED sterilization system (11). The sterilizing effect on viruses and bacteria is proportional to the exposure time of the air flow to UV-C rays. To increase this exposure time, the cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) incorporates a dual channel ejection mode i.e. split flow with multiple cycles, as shown in FIG. 2, where a first flow A comprising between 70 and 85% of the air with PM particles “particulate matter” greater than 1 μm passes to the multifilament diffuser (2) and is expelled to the outside and where a second flow B comprising the remaining flow i.e. 15/30% PM particles smaller than 1 μm are recirculated into the cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100), being exposed again to UV-C LEDs (11).

    [0086] Thus, an air flow (A) is created that circulates on the outside of the tangential ventilation duct. This flow (A) drags the heaviest particles (PM greater than 1 μm) by centrifugal force, which will be ejected to the outside through the thermal sterilizer. An air flow (B) is created through the internal part of the rotor, through which the nanoparticles (PM less than 1 μm) pass, which will be sent back into the equipment for retreatment with UV-C, Ion and plasma ion. This is done because the deactivation of viral and bacterial DNA requires the longest possible exposure time. Said nanoparticles will move by centrifugal force towards flow (A), until they are ejected through the thermal sterilizer. In this way it is achieved that the air ejected to the outside does not transport biomass.

    [0087] This cycle is constantly repeated so that the air is renewed by the centrifugal force of the tangential fan, so that throughout the day all the air in the room where the user or patient is located has passed at least e.g. 200 times per UV-C sterilizer cycle comprising the UV-C LEDs (11). For this, the device has a special arrangement of the ejection duct through which the flow is conducted (A), a micanita conductor that directs the air to the outside and a blade-type design that redirects the air back to the UV-C chamber.

    Partial Polarity Reversal System:

    [0088] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) comprises ionizers (12) used to change the electrical charge of the particles that are mostly positively charged and become negatively charged. The dual-channel, multi-cycle ejection system creates a recirculation of negatively charged particles so that between 10 and 20% of the air is again positively charged before ejection through the compression plates (6).

    Thermal Sterilization System:

    [0089] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) has a device that applies an electrical charge to the multifilament diffuser (2) made of stainless steel placed at the air outlet, so that it acts as a resistive unit at 300° C., sterilizing all the air before being ejected abroad. The split flow and recirculation system allows part of the air, e.g. 15/30%, to remain cold as it must return to the inside of the cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) for UV-C/Ionizer retreatment. If it were not for the split flow design and the configuration of the ejection duct directed by micanita (micanita is an electrical and thermal insulator), the hot air would recirculate inside the device creating a permanent increase in temperature that would make operation unviable.

    [0090] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) works continuously (24 hours) and ultra-quietly to help rest and regenerate the body while sleeping. FIG. 3 shows a housing made of steel, as well as a front area that includes means for the ejection of air in laminar flow (6) and an LED display (16). The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) launches a laminar flow of treated air that can be diverted by means for redirecting the laminar flow towards the face of the patient comprising a longitudinal deflector aluminum slat (5).

    [0091] The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) comprises a system of filters established in the structure (10):

    [0092] To breathe the treated air, it is first passed through a washable pre-filter (10a) that removes the thickest particles to extend the life of the filter. The air is then passed through a first sterilizing antibacterial filter (10b). The air continues through a large, high-density HEPA 13 filter (10c), thus removing 99.9% of the suspended particles.

    [0093] The air is filtered again through an activated carbon filter (10d) comprising capsules of activated carbon catalyzed with platinum, thus eliminating gases, odors and volatile organic compounds VOC, and Formaldehyde HVOC.

    [0094] This highly purified air is passed through a photocatalytic filter (UV) (10f) that destroys bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen dioxide, thus achieving sterile air.

    [0095] In case there could still be a particle smaller than 0.1 microns (0.0001 mm), the filter system comprises a double electrostimulating plasma filter that ionizes the air so that the particles are electrically charged by adhering to each other, creating larger particles, which will be filtered again.

    [0096] Furthermore, the equipment (100) comprises a high-density silicon steel and/or silicon stabilizer (1) that absorbs all types of vibrations, together with the body of the equipment that, for this purpose, has been created 100% in steel and/or silicon, thus creating a high-density module that, when screwed under pressure against the equipment, provides rigidity, eliminates vibrations and allows the equipment to have a useful life of more than 35 years.

    [0097] In addition, the equipment comprises a stainless steel filter (10e), in particular the stainless steel filter (10e) comprises a polished stainless steel grid which allows the equipment (100) to be used while the filters are removed for cleaning. The stainless steel filter (10e) has at least three functions:

    [0098] 1—Avoids access to moving parts of the equipment (100) to be able to use it without the changeable filter pack during the extraction and cleaning of said filter pack. This allows the air flow of the equipment (100) to be increased and the sound level to decrease. It can be very useful at times when the room is clean and a greater capacity for cooling or heating the environment is needed.

    [0099] 2.—The stainless steel filter (10e) allows coarse material filtering independent of the filtering carried out by the filter pack.

    [0100] 3.—The stainless steel filter (10e) generates reflections of ultraviolet rays that make them reach all the internal parts of the equipment, including the blades for the flow circulation, the carbon filter and other internal parts. These reflections of ultraviolet light favor the internal sterilization of the entire equipment (100). This allows bacteria to never be sent to users.

    [0101] FIG. 4 shows the high quality LED display (16) that permanently reports on the level of risk of contamination in blood (instantaneous level of nanoparticles), as well as the temperature of the room, the equipment systems in operation, a photosensitive control system to adapt to sleep mode, etc.

    [0102] FIG. 5 shows the cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) according to the present invention with a support system with wheels (14) that allows it to be located in the optimal position so that the continuous laminar flow reaches the lungs of the patient while he/she sleeps, in particular at a height between 100 and 130 cm from the floor of the enclosure, and allows moving it from one room to another depending on who needs it more for health issues. In a preferred embodiment, the filter comprises anchoring means that allow the equipment (100) to be screwed to the wall, making the support system with wheels (14) unnecessary. The means for the ejection of air in laminar flow (6) and the longitudinal deflector aluminum slat (5) for redirecting the laminar flow towards the patient's face are also observed.

    [0103] FIG. 6 shows the cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) according to the present invention with a diffuser (15) at the outlet of the air stream. The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) incorporates a diffuser at the outlet of the treated air stream that allows the application of different substances that can be applied by inhalation. The diffuser (15) allows the incorporation of different treatments under medical prescription, such as bronchodilators or other types of substances that enhance the efficiency of breathing treatment and even allow intensive specific uses to treat crises of a different nature (asthmatic, allergic, etc.).

    [0104] FIG. 7 shows the cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) according to the present invention together with the diffuser (15) at the outlet of the air stream over the bed of a patient. The cell regeneration and breathing treatment equipment (100) comprises the support system (14) to establish the device at a height between 100 and 16 cm with respect to the floor of the enclosure that allows that the ejection of air in laminar flow through the means (6) be redirected through the aluminum deflector (65) towards the face of the patient and thus achieve optimal breathing.

    [0105] Although reference has been made to specific embodiments of the invention, the breathing treatment units described in this document are susceptible to numerous variations and modifications, and all the mentioned features can be replaced by other technically equivalent, without departing from the scope of protection defined by claims.
