Abstract
An air purification system includes a conduit extending between an inlet and an outlet, each in fluid communication with an enclosed environment. Ambient air from the enclosed environment enters the conduit via the inlet and treated air exits the conduit and enters the enclosed environment via the outlet. The system further includes a fibrous filter disposed within the conduit and configured to treat the ambient air thereby generating the treated air, and a renewal unit disposed within the conduit and configured to renew the fibrous filter.
Claims31
An air treatment system, comprising:
- at least one conduit extending between an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is configured to allow entry of ambient air from an environment into the at least one conduit and the outlet is configured to allow exit of treated air from the at least one conduit,
- a plurality of filters disposed in said at least one conduit for treating the ambient air entering the at least one conduit, wherein at least one of said plurality of filters is a fibrous filter configured to capture at least a portion of particle contaminants in said ambient air entered via the inlet into the at least one conduit, and
- at least one renewal unit configured to supply energy to said fibrous filter to cause at least one of deactivation, degradation, and release of said captured particle contaminants from said fibrous filter.
