Abstract
A stackable air treatment device is provided and includes a base, a cover, a plurality of air treatment modules modularly stackable between the base and the cover in groups of one or more to form a stack with the base and the cover and a blower configured to move air from an exterior of the stack into the stack and out through the cover. Each air treatment module in the stack is configured to purify, clean, and/or condition the air moved by the blower.
Claims13
A stackable air treatment device, comprising:
- a base;
- a cover;
- a plurality of air treatment modules modularly stackable between the base and the cover in groups of one or more to form a stack with the base and the cover;
- and
- a blower configured to move air from an exterior of the stack into the stack and out through the cover,
- each air treatment module in the stack being configured to purify, clean and/or condition the air moved by the blower.
A method of air pollution management, comprising:
- determining a capacity of a source of air pollution in a space;
- selecting a group of one or more air treatment modules from a set of air treatment modules to provide an air purifying capacity that meets the capacity of the source of the air pollution;
- and
- stacking the group of the one or more air treatment modules between a base and a cover to form a stack configured to remove the air pollution from air in the space to thereby purify the air in the space.
A stackable air treatment device, comprising:
- a base;
- a cover;
- and
- a set of air treatment modules that are respectively interchangeable with one another to be modularly stackable between the base and the cover in groups of one or more to form a stack with the base and the cover,
- each air treatment module in the stack comprising an outer housing defining an interior and being provided with multiple air treatment module elements in parallel within the interior, and
- each of the multiple air treatment module elements of each air treatment module in the stack comprising:
- filter media;
- and
- a blower configured to move air from an exterior of the stack through the filter media and subsequently to and through the cover.
