Air decontamination system

Abstract

There is provided an air decontamination system (100). The air decontamination system (100) comprises a conduit for air (110), a pulse generator (130) and a plurality of plasma generation devices (120). The pulse generator (130) is couplable to a power supply and configured to generate a first pulse having a first pulse width of a first predetermined time, thereby controlling airflow between the plurality of plasma generation devices (120) in the conduit (110). The plurality of plasma generation devices (120) is located on two interior surfaces (111, 112) of the conduit (110). Each plasma generation device (120) comprises a high voltage electrode (121) and a ground electrode (122), the electrodes (121, 122) coupled to the pulse generator (130), and a dielectric barrier (123) between the high voltage electrode (121) and the ground electrode (122). The electrodes (121, 122) are configured to apply a voltage across the dielectric barrier (123) to generate a plasma on a surface of the dielectric barrier (123), thereby decontaminating surrounding air.
