Air purification apparatus

An air purification apparatus comprising:

• a typhoon chamber of waterproof structure having a water supply inlet opening, a drain, and air inlet and outlet openings;
• a plurality of spinning cylinder assemblies mounted within said typhoon chamber in parallel alignment to each other, and the surface of each of the spinning cylinder assemblies having numerous small holes formed therein;
• a motor operatively connected to each of said spinning cylinder assemblies to each of said plurality of spinning cylinder assemblies at high speed;
• a water tank;
• a water pump operatively connected between said water tank and said spinning cylinder assemblies for pumping water from said water tank to said plurality of spinning cylinder assemblies in said typhoon chamber;
• an air blower operatively connected through a duct to at least one of said air inlet and outlet openings of said typhoon chamber for circulating air through said typhoon chamber;
• whereby by operating said motor and rotating said plurality of spinning cylinder assemblies at high speed, and by pumping water from said water tank to said plurality of spinning cylinder assemblies, water pumped to the inside of each of the plurality of spinning cylinder assemblies is injected by centrifugal force through said numerous small holes at high speed such that water drops are forced to collide against each other, which produces infinitesimally small water particles and negative ions that have high air purification ability.

An air purification apparatus comprising:

• a typhoon chamber of waterproof structure having an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening;
• a plurality of spinning cylinder assemblies, the surface of each having numerous small holes being formed therein, said spinning cylinder assemblies being supported in parallel alignment to each other;
• a driving means for rotating each said plural spinning cylinder assemblies at high speed;
• a water pump connected to a water supply source to deliver water to said spinning cylinder assemblies within said typhoon chamber;
• an air blower device connected to at least one of said air inlet or said air outlet openings of said typhoon chamber;
• whereby water that is supplied to said spinning cylinder assemblies is injected through said numerous small holes at high speeds such that water drops are forced to collide against each other, which produces infinitesimally small water particles and negative ions exhibiting high air purification power, which is delivered to a desired location via said air blower device.

An air purification apparatus comprising:

• (a) a typhoon chamber, said typhoon chamber having at least one water supply line opening, at least one drain hole, at least one air inlet opening, and at least one air outlet opening, wherein said water supply line opening is positioned near an upper portion of said typhoon chamber and said drain hole is positioned toward a lower portion of said typhoon chamber, whereby water circulated through said typhoon chamber substantially falls downward from the upper portion thereof toward the lower portion thereof, and wherein said air inlet opening is positioned toward the lower portion of said typhoon chamber and said air outlet opening is positioned toward the upper portion of said typhoon chamber, whereby air circulated through said typhoon chamber substantially moves upward from the lower portion thereof toward the upper portion thereof;
• which produces a counter-current effect between the substantially downwardly falling water and the substantially upwardly moving air that assists in mixing the water and air within said typhoon chamber for loading the air with tiny water particles and negative ions;
• (b) a first spinning cylinder mounted within said typhoon chamber for rotational movement about a central axis of said first spinning cylinder, said first spinning cylinder having at least a cylindrical side wall with a plurality of small holes formed therein and the interior of the side wall of said first spinning cylinder is covered with a substantially cylindrical sponge sheet for absorbing water and maintaining an even distribution of water on the interior of the side wall;
• (c) a second spinning cylinder mounted within said typhoon chamber for rotational movement about a central axis of said second spinning cylinder, said second spinning cylinder having at least a cylindrical side wall with a plurality of small holes formed therein and the interior of the side wall of said second spinning cylinder is covered with a substantially cylindrical sponge sheet for absorbing water and maintaining an even distribution of water on the interior of the side wall;
• (d) a motor having a drive shaft, a drive pulley connected to said drive shaft of said motor, a mounting shaft for each of said first and second spinning cylinders, a first and second transfer pulley connected to each of the mounting shafts of said first and second spinning cylinders, respectively, and at least one drive belt connected between said drive pulley and said first and second transfer pulleys for transferring rotational movement of said drive shaft to each of said mounting shafts of said first and second spinning cylinders;
• (e) a water tank, a water circulation pump in fluid communication with said water tank, water supply piping for delivering water from said water tank through said at least one water supply line into said typhoon chamber and to the interior of each of said first and second spinning cylinders;
• (f) air circulation means for circulating air through said air inlet opening through said typhoon chamber, and through said air outlet opening;
• whereby the centrifugal force of said first and second spinning cylinders throws streams of water droplets to the interior of said typhoon chamber between said first and second spinning cylinders such that the water droplets are forced to collide against each other to form infinitesimally small water particles and negative ions, which purify the air circulating through said typhoon chamber and are loaded into the air circulating through said typhoon chamber.
