ELECTROSTATIC REDUCTION SYSTEM FOR REDUCING AIRBORNE DUST AND MICROORGANISMS

摘要

A dust reduction system (40) for reducing airborne contaminants such as, for example, dust, smoke, microorganisms, etc., includes at least one ion generator (50) made up of at least one ionizer bar (11) and a ground plane (4) which is parallel and proximate to at least one ionizer bar (11). Dust reduction system (40) can also include a dust collection device such as a tray (8) containing an aqueous composition (7) optionally containing a degreaser, a metal sheet (24) with a water applying device (20) or the ground plane (4) itself along with the surfaces of a room-sized enclosed space. Dust reduction system (40) is especially useful in poultry production and processing areas such as hatching cabinets (9), throwing rooms, and controlled environment poultry rearing rooms (34).
