Abstract
A microwave enhanced air disinfection (MEAD) device includes a housing and a microwave generator coupled to the housing. The microwave generator is configured to generate microwave energy. The MEAD device further includes a multi-component filter disposed in the housing. The multi-component filter is configured to collect contaminants from airflow. At least a portion of the contaminants from the airflow is to be destroyed at least one of directly or indirectly via the microwave energy.
Claims24
A microwave enhanced air disinfection (MEAD) device comprising:
- a housing;
- a microwave generator coupled to the housing, wherein the microwave generator is configured to generate microwave energy;
- a multi-component filter disposed in the housing, wherein the multi-component filter is configured to collect contaminants from airflow, and wherein at least a portion of the contaminants from the airflow is to be destroyed at least one of directly or indirectly via the microwave energy.
The MEAD system of claim 13, wherein the zeolites and metal oxides layer and the desiccant material layer are disposed between the first SiC layer and the second SiC layer.
A microwave enhanced air disinfection (MEAD) system comprising:
- a housing configured to receive airflow;
- a microwave generator coupled to the housing, wherein the microwave generator is configured to intermittently generate microwave energy;
- and
- a filter disposed in the housing, wherein the filter is configured to collect contaminants from the airflow, and wherein at least a first portion of the contaminants from the airflow is to be destroyed at least one of directly or indirectly via the microwave energy.
A microwave enhanced air disinfection (MEAD) device comprising:
- a housing;
- a microwave generator coupled to the housing, wherein the microwave generator is configured to generate microwave energy;
- a cylindrical slotted waveguide disposed in the housing, wherein the cylindrical slotted waveguide is configured to direct the microwave energy;
- and
- a multi-component filter disposed around the cylindrical slotted waveguide, wherein the multi-component filter is disposed in the housing, wherein the multi-component filter is configured to collect contaminants from airflow, and wherein at least a portion of the contaminants from the airflow is to be destroyed at least one of directly or indirectly via the microwave energy.
