Abstract
The present invention generally relates to an air filter, and in particular, the present invention relates to an air filter with a porous copper layer, having natural antimicrobial property, for improving the quality of air breathed in by people.
Claims17
An air filter that has natural antimicrobial and self-sanitizing properties, the air filter has an air intake side and an air exit side, the air filter consisting of:
- a first intermediate layer;
- a second intermediate layer;
- a base filter layer, sandwiched between the first intermediate layer and the second intermediate layer;
- a post filter layer adjacent to the first intermediate layer and is on the air exit side;
- a prefilter layer is adjacent to the second intermediate layer, and is on the air intake side, and
- at least one porous copper layer removably coupled to the base filter layer and configured to capture suspended air particles passing through the at least one porous copper layer, wherein the at least one porous copper layer is configured to capture particles of 0.1 microns.
A device comprising an air filter, wherein the air filter, the air filter has an air intake side and an air exit side, the air filter consisting of:
- a first intermediate layer;
- a second intermediate layer;
- a base filter layer, sandwiched between the first intermediate layer and the second intermediate layer;
- a post filter layer adjacent to the first intermediate layer and is on the air exit side;
- a prefilter layer is adjacent to the second intermediate layer, and is on the air intake side, and
- at least one porous copper layer removably coupled to the base filter layer and configured for capturing suspended air particles passing through the at least one porous copper layer for natural antimicrobial and self-sanitizing action.
A face mask or face portion of a provisional protective equipment (PPE) kit with an air filter, the air filter has an air intake side and an air exit side, the air filter consisting of:
- a first intermediate layer;
- a second intermediate layer;
- a base filter layer, sandwiched between the first intermediate layer and the second intermediate layer;
- a post filter layer adjacent to the first intermediate layer and is on the air exit side;
- a prefilter layer is adjacent to the second intermediate layer, and is on the air intake side, and
- at least one porous copper layer removably coupled to the base filter layer for capturing suspended air particles passing through the at least one porous copper layer for antimicrobial and self-sanitizing action, wherein the at least one copper layer is configured to capture particles of 0.1 microns.
