<p>A system for filtering and purifying air within a closed environment. Air is drawn through a sequence of six filtration and purification stages, comprising, in order, an electrostatic prefilter to remove airborne impurities >= 3 microns, an ultraviolet light source, a catalytic surface effective for breaking down hydrocarbons, a HEPA or other particulate filter for mechanically capturing airborne particles, a gas absorption filtration medium for removing volatile organic compounds and comprised primarily of activated charcoal, and an ionization module. The UV light is directed both upstream and downstream. The catalytic surface is semitransparent to UV light so that UV light strikes and kills microbes in the HEPA or other particulate filter medium.</p> |
