Abstract
The present disclosure relates to air terminals or components thereof comprising an outer surface that is at least partially coated with a superhydrophilic coating, methods for their preparation and uses thereof.
Claims22
An air terminal or a component thereof comprising an outer surface that is at least partially coated with a superhydrophilic coating, wherein the coating comprises an N-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) in an amount of at least about 70 wt %, wherein at least about 15 wt % of the TiO2 is in the form of anatase, and wherein the coating has an average thickness of between about 20 μm and about 300 μm.
(canceled)
A method for at least partially coating an air terminal or a component thereof with a superhydrophilic coating, the method comprising:
- (i) providing a powder feedstock comprising at least about 70 wt % TiO2, wherein at least about 50 wt % of the TiO2 is in the form of anatase;
- and
- (ii) at least partially coating an outer surface of an air terminal or a component thereof with the powder feedstock using atmospheric plasma spray (APS) with N2 as a powder feedstock carrier gas to a thickness of between about 20 μm and about 300 μm.
