Abstract
A housing encloses a high voltage, high frequency power supply having output terminals connected to a pair of electrodes mounted on opposite sides of a solid dielectric, the electrodes and solid dielectric being encapsulated in an insulator and mounted in a tunnel in the housing, the air to be purified being circulated through the tunnel.
Claims8
A method of purifying air, comprising the steps of
- placing in proximity to said air a capacitor including a pair of electrodes spaced apart by a solid dielectric material, and
- applying between said electrodes an A.C. voltage of at least about 5000 volts having a frequency of at least twenty kiloHertz, said voltage being less than the breakdown voltage across said electrodes.
Apparatus for generating a negative field in a gas, comprising
- a solid, dielectric sheet,
- first and second metallic electrodes respectively mounted in mutually parallel relationship to opposite sides of said dielectric sheet,
- a body of insulating material completely enclosing said electrodes and said dielectric sheet to prevent any arcing between said electrodes, and
- means for connecting a high voltage, high frequency source between said electrodes.
