Abstract

The present invention provides methods and systems for an ion generator mounting device for application of bipolar ionization to airflow within a conduit, the device includes a housing for mounting to the conduit having an internal panel within the enclosure, and an arm extending from the housing for extension into the conduit and containing at least one opening. At least one coupling for mounting an ion generator to the arm oriented with an axis extending between a pair of electrodes of the ion generator being generally perpendicular to a flow direction of the airflow within the conduit.

Claims (21)

1. An ion generator mounting device, comprising:

an elongate arm, comprising a first side and a second side, whereby the first side contains at least one opening and an ion generator with at least one electrode that is disposed adjacent the second side of the arm, such that the at least one electrode is disposed adjacent the at least one opening.

2. The ion generator mounting device of claim 1 , further comprising an elongate arm with a top side and a bottom side.

3. The ion generator mounting device of claim 1 , further comprising mountings that engage the ion generator to the arm.

4. The ion generator mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the electrodes of the ion generator is axially aligned with the arm.

5. The ion generator mounting device of claim 1 , further comprising electrical contacts disposed within the arm.

6. The ion generator device of claim 1 , further comprising a housing engaged to the arm.

7. The ion generator mounting device of claim 1 , further comprising a housing comprising:

a base,

a first and second pair of spaced-apart, opposed sidewalls projecting from the base to collectively form an interior storage compartment and to define an upper edge; and

a top portion;

a securing means for selectively securing the top portion to the base.

8. The ion generator mounting device of claim 1 , further comprising an LED disposed on the device.

9. An ion generator mounting device for application of bipolar ionization to an airflow within a conduit, the device comprising:

a housing for mounting to the conduit having an internal panel within the enclosure;

an arm extending from the housing for extension into the conduit and containing at least one opening; and

at least one coupling for mounting an ion generator to the arm oriented with an axis extending between a pair of electrodes of the ion generator being generally perpendicular to a flow direction of the airflow within the conduit.

10. The ion generator mounting device of claim 9 , wherein the coupling comprises electrical contacts on the arm for delivering power to the at least one ion generator.

11. The ion generator mounting device of claim 9 , further comprising at least one terminal block for wiring connection to the ion generator via contacts on the arm.

12. The ion generator mounting device of claim 9 , further comprising a power converter for converting input power to operate the ion generator.

13. The ion generator mounting device of claim 9 , wherein the ion generator contains at least one electrode that is recessed within an opening on the arm and below the horizontal plane of the external surface of the arm.
