US 2007/0180995 A1 · Air Cleaning Device II

Abstract

The device according to the invention comprises a drip chamber, which is adapted for connecting to the ordinary water mains, a metal plate and a nozzle that is connected to the drip chamber and disposed above the metal plate and a collecting vessel. The object of the drip chamber is to convert the continuous flow of water from the water mains into discrete drops, thus forming a water reservoir in the button of the drip chamber, which is electrically insulated from the water supply while the reservoir still receives a constant new supply of water. Water from the reservoir is passed on to the nozzle and sprayed over the steel plate. An impressed voltage on the nozzle and thereby the water attracts the impurities in the air and these will bind to the water and follow it when the water runs down into a collecting vessel, which is subsequently emptied into the house's drainage system.

Dependent claims

A space charge system for reducing airborne contaminants comprising

(a) at least one negative air ion generator wherein said generator includes at least one ionizing electrode,
(b) a ground plane perpendicular and proximate to said at least one electrode wherein said at least one electrode is facing away from said ground plane, and at a distance apart to create an electrostatic field which reduces airborne particulates without creating an arc, and
(c) a source of power to effect said ionization from said electrode;
wherein said system generates electrostatic charge throughout an enclosed space outside of said system.
