US 11,890,571 B2 · Method and system for reduction of unwanted gases in indoor air

Abstract

An air treatment system for at least partially removing at least one gaseous contaminant contained in indoor air of a room structured for human occupants. The system may comprise an air treatment assembly having an indoor air inlet configured to receive indoor airflow directly from a room, a regenerable adsorbent material configured to adsorb at least one gaseous contaminant contained in the indoor airflow, at least one airflow element for directing the indoor airflow to flow through the air treatment assembly, an indoor air outlet for expelling the indoor air, from the air treatment assembly back into the room, a purge air inlet configured to receive and direct purge air over and/or through the adsorbent material for removal of at least a portion of the at least one gaseous contaminant, and a purge air outlet for expelling the purge air out of the air treatment assembly.

Dependent claims

An indoor space gaseous contaminant removal unit comprising:

a housing configured for placement within an indoor space, or, within or on an interior wall, window or interior ceiling of the indoor space, the housing including;
an indoor air inlet arranged on the housing so as to be directly exposed to the indoor space and configured to receive an indoor airflow directly from the indoor space without aid from a duct or conduit;
a regenerable adsorbent material configured during an adsorption cycle to adsorb at least one gaseous contaminant contained in the indoor airflow;
an indoor air outlet configured to expel the indoor airflow treated by the adsorbent material back into the indoor space without aid from a duct or conduit;
a purge air outlet configured to expel a purge air after removing at least a portion of the at least one gaseous contaminant adsorbed by the adsorbent material,
and
a controller configured to adjust at least one of the indoor air inlet and the indoor air outlet so as to reduce a concentration of the gaseous contaminant in the indoor air of the indoor space.
