Abstract
A method for cleaning air utilizing an air cleaner which is smaller than conventional air cleaners, wherein a filter is formed on the peripheral portion of a disk and the filter is bent into a wave-shape such that irregularities of the wave are formed in the radial direction of the disk, so that air existing on the inside area of the disk is discharged to the outside of the disk through the filter.
Claims11
An air cleaner comprising:
- a disk;
- a filter formed on a peripheral portion of said disk, said filter being formed along the peripheral portion of said disk so as to surround an inside area of said disk, said filter being bent into a wave-shape such that irregularities of the wave are formed in a radial direction of said disk, and said filter being electrically conductive;
- at least one electrode;
- means for applying electric voltage across said at least one electrode and said filter;
- and
- means for rotating said disk,
- wherein said at least one electrode is arranged in an inside area of said filter when said cleaner is viewed from a direction opposite to said disk, and corona discharge continuously occurs between said at least one electrode and said filter.
