GAS OR LIQUID STERILIZING METHOD USING SELF-HEATING INORGANIC POROUS FILM AND AIR CONDITIONER EQUIPPED WITH STERILIZING FILTER USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas or liquid sterilizing method using a self-heating inorganic porous film having highly advanced sterilizing effect and manufactured into a small size at a low cost and to provide an air conditioner equipped with a sterilizing filter using the same.

SOLUTION: As the inorganic porous film, a cylindrical Shirasu Porous Glass (SPG) having a uniform pore size and allowing the selection of the pore size within the range from 0.05 μm to 20 μm is plated with nickel alloy 1 to be formed into the sterilizing filer 9. The sterilizing filter (self-heating inorganic porous film) 9 is energized to be self-heated from 150°C to 250°C and atmospheric air is made to pass therethrough to sterilize bacteria and virus.
