AIR PURIFIER AND PASSIVE HUMIDITY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019139 titled 'AIR PURIFIER AND PASSIVE HUMIDITY MODULE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an air purifier with a passive humidity module. The air purifier has a housing and an air outlet, while the passive humidity module is partially located on the air purifier air outlet. The passive humidity module consists of a housing assembly with an air inlet and an air outlet, a water tank supported by the housing assembly, a wick filter reservoir connected to the water tank, at least one gutter connected to the water tank, and a wick filter placed in the wick filter reservoir and supported by the housing assembly. The air inlet is aligned with the air purifier air outlet, and there is an airflow path between the water tank and the wick filter, connecting the air inlet and the air outlet.
- The invention is an air purifier with a passive humidity module.
- The air purifier has a housing and an air outlet.
- The passive humidity module is partially located on the air purifier air outlet.
- The passive humidity module includes a housing assembly with an air inlet and an air outlet.
- The housing assembly supports a water tank.
- The water tank is connected to a wick filter reservoir.
- At least one gutter is connected to the water tank.
- A wick filter is placed in the wick filter reservoir and supported by the housing assembly.
- The air inlet is aligned with the air purifier air outlet.
- There is an airflow path between the water tank and the wick filter, connecting the air inlet and the air outlet.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improving indoor air quality by combining air purification and passive humidity control.
- Creating a more comfortable indoor environment by maintaining optimal humidity levels.
- Reducing the spread of airborne pollutants and allergens.
- Enhancing the effectiveness of air purifiers by adding a passive humidity module.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Dry indoor air can cause discomfort, respiratory issues, and dry skin.
- High humidity levels can promote the growth of mold, bacteria, and other harmful microorganisms.
- Traditional air purifiers do not address humidity control.
- Separate devices for air purification and humidity control can take up more space and be less efficient.
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides both air purification and passive humidity control in a single device.
- Saves space and reduces the need for multiple devices.
- Improves indoor air quality by removing pollutants and maintaining optimal humidity levels.
- Enhances overall comfort and well-being in indoor environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
an air purifier and a passive humidity module for inside air. the air purifier includes a housing and an air purifier air outlet. the passive humidity module is disposed at least partially on the air purifier air outlet. the passive humidity module includes a housing assembly defining an air inlet and an air outlet, a water tank supported by the housing assembly, a wick filter reservoir fluidly coupled to the water tank, at least one gutter fluidly coupled to the water tank, and a wick filter disposed in the wick filter reservoir and supported by the housing assembly. the air inlet is at least partially aligned with the air purifier air outlet. the passive humidity module includes an airflow path flowing between the water tank and the wick filter, and fluidly connecting the air inlet and the air outlet.
