Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to a combination axial fan and LED lighting system configured to fit into the footprint of a standard ceiling tile. Disclosed embodiments further include ceiling tiles with a built-in fan and/or LED lighting. The disclosed systems may include one or more UV-C light sources which irradiate contaminants as air flows through the UV-C unit. The UV-C unit is mounted on either a universal mounting mechanism or a mobile support unit to provide mobility to the UV-C unit.
Claims20
An air purifier, comprising:
- a housing for installation in a ceiling of a building space wherein the housing includes a fan portion, a UV light kill chamber and an outlet portion;
- a UV light kill chamber in the housing having a first and a second opposing ends configured to direct a flow of air in a flow direction extending between the first and the second opposing ends of the UV light kill chamber;
- a UV light source positioned in the UV light kill chamber configured to emit UV light source to irradiate the air flowing through the UV light kill chamber;
- an inlet portion of the housing communicated to the fan portion for permitting flow of the air from the building space via the inlet portion, through the fan to a fan exit portion;
- an air diversion mechanism configured to direct air from the fan exit portion to the first opposing end of the UV light kill chamber and further configured to prevent light emitted from the UV light source from exiting the air purifier;
- an outlet vent portion of the housing communicated to the UV light kill chamber at the second end thereof for permitting flow of the air between the UV light kill chamber and the building space via the outlet vent;
- a fan adjacent the inlet portion of the housing configured to generate the flow of the air to draw the flow of air from the building space through the air diversion mechanism and deliver the flow of air through the UV light kill chamber and out the outlet vent;
- and
- a plurality of baffles positioned in the UV light kill chamber to act as a barrier preventing light emitted from the UV light source from exiting the air purifier.
