Abstract
An apparatus is provided for preventing the spread of air-borne contaminants in a defined space. The apparatus comprises an air flow outlet adjacent to or within the defined space, an air flow inlet adjacent to or within the defined space, and a conduit for transporting air from the air flow inlet to the air flow outlet. An air treatment module is provided within or adjacent the conduit for extracting air-borne contaminants from air transported from the air flow inlet to the air flow outlet. The air flow outlet deposits air into the defined space substantially evenly across an outlet area.
Claims22
An apparatus for preventing spread of air-borne contaminants in a defined space comprising;
- an air flow outlet adjacent to or within the defined space;
- a plurality of air flow inlets adjacent to or within the defined space;
- a plurality of conduits for transporting air from the plurality of air flow inlets air to the air flow outlet;
- and
- an air treatment module within or adjacent the plurality of conduits for extracting the air-borne contaminants from the air transported from the plurality of air flow inlets to the air flow outlet;
- wherein each conduit of the plurality of conduits transports air from a corresponding air flow inlet of the plurality of air flow inlets to the air flow outlet,
- wherein the air flow outlet deposits air into the defined space substantially evenly across an outlet area.
