Abstract
An air conditioner includes an ion generator that provides ions and safe amounts of ozone. The ion generator includes a high voltage generator that provides a voltage potential difference between first and second electrode arrays. At least one of the first and second arrays is removable from the housing for cleaning.
Claims10
An air conditioner system, comprising:
- an elongated housing having an elongated channel and at least one air vent;
- an opening in said housing that provides access to said channel;
- an ion generating unit positioned in said housing, including:
- an emitter electrode;
- and
- a removable collector electrode configured to rest within said channel;
- and
- a high voltage generator to provide a high voltage potential difference between said emitter and collector electrodes when said removable collector electrode rests within said housing;
- a handle secured to said collector electrode to assist a user with removing said collector electrode from said housing;
- wherein when said collector electrode rests within said housing, said handle extends through said opening to provide access to said handle while substantially covering said opening.

An air conditioner system, comprising:
- a vertically elongated housing having a vertical channel and at least one air vent;
- an opening, in a surface of said housing, that provides access to said vertical channel;
- an ion generating unit positioned in said housing, including:
- an emitter electrode;
- and
- a removable collector electrode configured to rest within said housing further comprising a handle to assist with removing said collector electrode from said housing and returning said collector electrode to said housing;
- wherein when said collector electrode is at rest within said housing, said handle extends through said opening to provide access to said handle while substantially covering said opening.
4 more elements
An air conditioner system, comprising:
- a vertically elongated housing having at least one air vent allowing air to enter said housing;
- an opening in a surface of said housing;
- an ion generating unit positioned in said housing, including:
- an emitter electrode;
- and
- a removable collector electrode normally at rest within said housing, further comprising a handle to assist with removing said collector electrode from said vertically elongated housing, wherein when said collector electrode is at rest within said housing, said handle extends through said opening to provide access to said handle while substantially covering said opening.
