AIR CLEANING APPARATUS

摘要

An air cleaning apparatus comprising at least one UV light source and at least one target structure comprising a plurality of elongated tubular elements, whereby air cleaned by the UV light source in the presence of the target structure creates a zone of plasma including advanced oxidation products. The target structure incorporates at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, copper, silver, and rhodium. The plurality of tubular elements is arranged in one or more matrices of elongated tubular elements. The matrices are optimized to allow air to flow through the elongated elements. The matrices comprise two parallel wall-shaped structures of stacked tubular elements, and the UV light source is located between two wall-shaped structures, whereby air flows through the tubular elements. A frame and an insulating UV light transparent cover generally surrounding the UV light source may be provided.
