Air disinfection method and a device for implementation thereof

Abstract

A device and methods for air disinfection of microorganisms and biological agents by the method of their inactivation by electrostatic fields and filtering by the method of electrostatic precipitation is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: creating a flow (A) of air to be disinfected; subjecting said flow to constant with electrostatic fields alternating in direction of intensity vector, said electrostatic fields being sequentially arranged along the flow, and created by transversely spaced air permeable electrodes (1); and filtering the treated flow with an electrostatic filter. Electrostatic field concentrators in the form of projections (3) are located on the surface of the electrodes (1), in particular nanoscale projections. This provides a fast, effective, and reliable cleaning of air from any kind of microorganisms and viruses, as well as the aerosol particles having size of 0.08 μm.
