Abstract
A general-purpose air sterilizing system destroys activation of air-borne pathogens, designed with different embodiments. The methods used to build the apparatus allows destroying airborne pathogens like bacteria, mold, mildew, allergens and deactivates viruses such as SARS CoV-2. The apparatus supports air circulation system that contains filter which comprising array of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) of 262-nm wavelength, AKA UVC, are used.
Claims21
An air filter encapsulation system for encapsulating an air filter element having an active surface, wherein in use, air passes through the air filter element to become filtered air, the air filter encapsulation system comprising:
- an air filter holder structured to hold the air filter element;
- UVC LEDs disposed on the holder, the UVC LEDs being configured to emit UVC light in the band of 100 to 280 nanometers to kill pathogens in the air at the air filter active surface;
- fins that support the UVC LEDs,
- fin angle adjusters operatively coupled to the fins, the fin angle adjusters orienting the UVC LEDs to angles that enable the UVC LEDs to encapsulate the air filter element active surface with the emitted UVC light;
- at least one sensor disposed on the air filter holder;
- and
- a power supply connection to supply power to the UVC LEDs.
A germicidal filter comprising:
- a structure defining an active filtering space having an ingress side and an egress side;
- an ultraviolet light array disposed on at least one of the ingress side and the egress side,
- the ultraviolet light array comprising plural longitudinal strips having ultraviolet light emitting elements spaced therealong, and
- fin clips disposed on the structure, the fin clips supporting and orienting the ultraviolet light array so the ultraviolet light emitting elements encapsulate the active filtering space with emitted UVC light,
- wherein the ultraviolet light emitting elements provide ultraviolet light intensities of 6000 Joules/m2 for eliminating colonies of 6000-10,000 RNA viruses to enable logarithmic reduction of 1,000-10,000 colony forming units (CFUs).
