Abstract
An air cleaning system and a method of controlling the same, the air cleaning system including a particle separation device for suctioning indoor air to separate microbial particles from air particles, a collection device collecting the microbial particles separated by the particle separation device, a luminescence measurement device for detecting an amount or intensity of light emitted from the microbial particles collected in the collection device, and at least one air cleaning device that selectively operates on the basis of contamination of the microbial particles detected by the luminescence measurement device.
Claims20
An air cleaning system comprising:
- a particle separation device for suctioning indoor air to separate microbial particles from air particles;
- a microbial particle passage through which the microbial particles separated at the particle separation device flow;
- an air particle passage through which remaining particles in the air except for the microbial particles flow;
- a partition plate for partitioning the air particle passage from the microbial particle passage;
- a collection device collecting the microbial particles separated by the particle separation device;
- a luminescence measurement device for detecting an amount or intensity of light emitted from the microbial particles collected in the collection device;
- and
- at least one air cleaning device that selectively operates on the basis of contamination of the microbial particles detected by the luminescence measurement device.
An air cleaning system comprising:
- a particle separation device suctioning indoor air to separate microbial particles and air particles from the indoor air;
- a microbial particle passage through which the microbial particles separated at the particle separation device flow;
- an air particle passage through which remaining particles in the air except for the microbial particles flow;
- a flow generation device allowing a flow into the microbial particle passage or the air particle passage to be generated;
- a filter part communicating with the microbial particle passage to collect the microbial particles thereon;
- a lysis agent supply device supplying a lysis reagent for lysing the microbial particles into the filter part;
- a luminescence measurement device for detecting an amount or intensity of light emitted from the microbial particles collected onto the filter part;
- and
- an air cleaning device operating to clean the air on the basis of concentration of the microbial particles detected by the luminescence measurement device.
