AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A HVAC UNIT IN A TRANSPORT COMPARTMENT

摘要

Air filtration systems and methods for HVAC units in transport compartments are provided. The air filtration systems and methods described herein use electrostatic forces to capture airborne particles and include a modular design so as to be configured to the space requirements of the transport compartment and reduce air flow resistance. The air filtration system includes one or more modular filtration units. Each of the modular filtration units includes a pre-filter section, an ionizing section and a collecting section.

主权项

1. An air filtration system for a HVAC unit in a transport compartment comprising:
a plurality of modular filtration units, each of the plurality of modular filtration units including:
a pre-filter section configured to capture coarse particles and prevent coarse particles from passing through the modular filtration unit,an ionizing section configured to create a first electrostatic field, the ionizing section configured to electrically charge fine particles passing through the ionizing section,a collecting section configured to create a second uniform electrostatic field and a ground surface plate, wherein the second uniform electrostatic field is configured to attract the electrically charged fine particles to the ground surface plate and the ground surface plate is configured to capture the electrically charged fine particles, anda plurality of mounting holes on a front face, a bottom and a top of the modular filtration unit, wherein the plurality of mounting holes are configured to interconnect the modular filtration unit to another of the plurality of modular filtration units adjacent to the modular filtration unit and/or on top of the modular filtration unit; wherein each of the plurality of modular filtration units is interconnected to another of the plurality of modular filtration units.
