<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air filter system in which growth of microorganism in an environment is inhibited to sterilize the environment. <P>SOLUTION: The air filter system 10 has a filter housing 11, an air filter media 12, and an electrical circuit coupled to the media. The filter media consists of a pleated air filter material 23 with front pleat apexes 25 and rear pleat apexes 26 which are coated with an electrically conductive material to form front vertical strips 27 and rear strips 28. The electrical circuit includes a positive front electrical contact 30 and rear electrical contact. The front electrical contact 30 has a rear surface in electrical contact with an elongated front electrical contact bar 33, oriented horizontally across and in electrical contact with the filter front strips. Similarly, the rear electrical contact has a front surface in electrical contact with an elongated rear electrical contact bar 34. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
