AIR PURIFICATION MODULE, AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF PURIFYING AIR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18112053 titled 'AIR PURIFICATION MODULE, AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF PURIFYING AIR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an air purification module and system that purifies unpurified air by using a catalyst filter and a light-emitting heat source. The catalyst filter includes a photocatalyst and an oxidation catalyst, while the light-emitting heat source irradiates light to activate the photocatalyst and provides heat to activate the oxidation catalyst. The temperature of the light-emitting heat source is higher than the temperature of the unpurified air.
- The air purification module purifies unpurified air and discharges purified air.
- The module includes a catalyst filter with a photocatalyst and an oxidation catalyst.
- A light-emitting heat source is placed next to the catalyst filter.
- The light-emitting heat source activates the photocatalyst with light and provides heat to activate the oxidation catalyst.
- The temperature of the light-emitting heat source is higher than the temperature of the unpurified air.
Potential Applications:
- Indoor air purification systems for homes, offices, and other enclosed spaces.
- Air purification systems for hospitals, laboratories, and cleanrooms.
- Automotive air purification systems for vehicles.
Problems Solved:
- Removes pollutants, allergens, and odors from the air.
- Eliminates harmful bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Improves indoor air quality and reduces the risk of respiratory issues.
Benefits:
- Efficient purification of air using a combination of catalyst filters and a light-emitting heat source.
- Activates photocatalyst and oxidation catalyst to effectively remove pollutants.
- Provides both purification and heat, enhancing the overall air purification process.
- Higher temperature of the light-emitting heat source ensures effective purification.
- Can be used in various settings, including residential, commercial, and automotive applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided are an air purification module and an air purification system including the same. The air purification module is configured to purify influent unpurified air and discharge purified air and includes: a catalyst filter including a photocatalyst and an oxidation catalyst; and a light-emitting heat source disposed adjacent to the catalyst filter, wherein the light-emitting heat source irradiates, to the catalyst filter, light for activating the photocatalyst, and provides heat to activate the oxidation catalyst, and a temperature of the light-emitting heat source is higher than a temperature of the unpurified air.
