Abstract
There is provided a system for cleaning a contaminated airflow. The system includes a macro-contaminant separator that creates substantially macro-contaminant free airflow, a micro-contaminant separator that creates a substantially contaminant free airflow from said substantially macro-contaminant free airflow, and a germ controlling device that kills or controlling any germs remaining in the substantially contaminant free airflow. The macro-contaminant separator may be a cyclone-type contaminant separator. The micro-contaminant separator may include a micro-particle filter, an odor adsorber, or both. The germ controlling means may be an ultraviolet light source.
Claims23
A system for cleaning an airflow containing macro-contaminants and micro-contaminants, said system comprising:
- a cyclone separator that removes said macro-contaminants from said airflow, whereby a substantially macro-contaminant free airflow is created;
- a filter that removes said micro-contaminants from said substantially macro-contaminant free airflow and provides a substantially contaminant free airflow;
- and
- a germ controller for destroying microorganisms in said substantially contaminant free airflow.
A process for using a system for removing contaminants from an airflow comprising the steps of:
- separating macro-contaminants from said airflow by causing said airflow to move in a cyclone motion, wherein said macro-contaminants are removed from said airflow by centrifugal force, whereby a substantially macro-contaminant free airflow is created;
- substantially removing micro-contaminants from said substantially macro-contaminant free airflow, whereby a substantially contaminant-free airflow is created;
- and
- destroying microorganisms in said substantially contaminant free air flow.
A system for cleaning an airflow, said system comprising:
- a cyclone separator for removing macro-contaminants from said airflow;
- a filter, disposed downstream of said separator, for removing micro-particles from said airflow;
- an adsorber, disposed downstream of said filter, for adsorbing organic compounds from said airflow;
- and
- a germ controller, disposed downstream of said adsorber, for destroying microorganisms in said airflow.
A system for cleaning an airflow, said system comprising:
- a cyclone separator for removing macro-contaminants from said airflow;
- and
- a device, disposed downstream of said cyclone separator, for performing a function selected from the group consisting of (a) destroying microorganisms in said airflow, and (b) removing residual chemicals from said airflow.
