AIR PURIFIER AND AIR PURIFYING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17981684 titled 'AIR PURIFIER AND AIR PURIFYING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an air purifier that uses plasma reaction and gas-liquid mixing to remove pollutants from the air. Here are the key points:
- The air purifier has an air inlet through which polluted air enters.
- It includes a plasma reaction portion that generates discharge plasma to neutralize pollutants.
- A gas-liquid mixing portion mixes fine droplets with purified air from the plasma reaction portion.
- The gas-liquid mixture then passes through micro-channels in a gas-liquid contact portion.
- An impactor in the gas-liquid contact portion captures droplets from the mixture.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Indoor air purification in homes, offices, and other buildings.
- Industrial air purification in factories and manufacturing facilities.
- Healthcare settings to improve air quality and reduce the spread of airborne diseases.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Removes pollutants and contaminants from the air, improving air quality.
- Neutralizes harmful substances and reduces the risk of respiratory issues.
- Captures and removes fine droplets, preventing them from being released back into the air.
Benefits of this technology:
- Efficient removal of pollutants using plasma reaction and gas-liquid mixing.
- Captures and removes fine droplets, improving overall air quality.
- Can be used in various settings to provide clean and healthy air.
Original Abstract Submitted
An air purifier includes an air inlet portion through which polluted air flows in, a plasma reaction portion connected to and in fluid communication with the air inlet portion and including a discharge region generating discharge plasma, a gas-liquid mixing portion connected to and in fluid communication with the plasma reaction portion, and including a gas-liquid mixing portion housing, a droplet spraying device arranged in the gas-liquid mixing portion housing and including at least one spray nozzle spraying fine droplets, and a fluid mixing device which mixes the fine droplets with first purified air transferred from the plasma reaction portion, and a gas-liquid contact portion connected to and in fluid communication with the gas-liquid mixing portion, defining micro-channels through which a gas-liquid mixture fluid transferred from the gas-liquid mixing portion passes, and including an impactor which captures droplets from the gas-liquid mixture fluid.
