A modular, integrated, combination air purification and aroma diffuser includes a UV and catalytic oxidation germicidal cell and multiple filtrations as pre-treatment of air diffusing essential oils or other liquids as ultra-fine droplets entrained in airflow into enclosed, habitable spaces. Liquid microbicide, insecticide, fumigant, or aroma therapy is kept cleaner by eradication of microbes. Comparatively larger droplets are separated out and recycled to the reservoir after initial atomization. An electrical module, between a purifier and filters upstream and a diffuser downstream, includes a pump, a fan, and a controller for both. Staged, double-eduction, triple-separation processes include a micro-cyclone for quiet, well diffused flow of ultra-fine droplets. |

1. A method for introducing a scent into breathable air, the method comprising;
providing a system comprising a reservoir, eductor, and separator operably connected to one another; providing a liquid constituting an aromatic substance selected by an operator for the scent to be introduced into the breathable air; drawing a first portion of the liquid from the reservoir by the eductor passing a flow of air; entraining the first portion of the liquid into the flow; forming droplets of the first portion by at least one of restricting an area through which the flow passes and the entraining; separating out a second distribution of the droplets by passing the flow through a wall between a first chamber and a second chamber, the flow path spiraling axially and circumferentially, simultaneously and continuously, through an arcuate channel formed through the wall; and passing a first distribution of the droplets out of the separator into the breathable air. |
