Abstract
Air purification systems and methods use a flat, wall-mounted enclosure containing a photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) system to remove airborne contaminants. The horizontal width and vertical height of the PCO system being large compared to its thickness to maximize catalytic surface area and efficiently use light to drive reactions. PCO performance may be further optimized through contouring a catalytic panel to increase surface area. The structure and does not require floor or counter space, and a visible face of the wall-mounted structure may have an aesthetic feature.
Claims12
A air purifier comprising:
- an enclosure including a wall mounting structure on a back face of the enclosure, an air inlet on a bottom of the enclosure, and an air outlet on a top of the enclosure;
- a catalytic panel inside the enclosure and having a catalytic surface;
- a light panel inside the enclosure and defining, between the light panel and the catalytic panel, an air channel that directs air flow from the air inlet along the catalytic surface to the air outlet, the light panel directing light through the air channel onto the catalytic surface to induce photocatalytic reactions.
