Abstract

An apparatus to purify fresh air contains at least three types of filters such as high efficient particle filter 5 , chemical filter 6 and two stage electrostatic filters 2 . The filters are secured to fresh air unit 1 that is secured to the wall 4 or window 11 of the building. Particularly, the present invention contains low noise fan 7 to reduce noises entering from outside. The particle filters and chemical filters are either in rolled form or in plate form with protrusions to have effective filtration. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for purifying freshly supplied air from outdoor environment and recirculates the indoor air by using new type easily installable and serviceable, filters that are environmentally friendly biodegradable filters.

Claims (26)

1. An apparatus to purify fresh air using a biodegradable filter comprising:

at least one housing unit;

at least one high efficiency particle filter;

at least one chemical filter;

a plurality of protrusions on a plurality of filter film layers;

particle filter media;

at least one Two-stage electrostatic filter comprising

at least one brush type carbon fibers and

at least one grounded frame;

at least one fresh air inlet;

at least one low pressure one way rubber valve; and

at least one low noise fan.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said particle filter is in rolled form.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said particle filter media is either conductive or medium conductive.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said chemical filter is selected from the group consisting of activated carbon, impregnated activated carbon, zeolite and sodium bicarbonate, and having sizes of granulates, that are suitable for gluing without blocking significantly adsorption area.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one two-stage electrostatic filter comprises corona discharge from brush type carbon fibers that are installed inside grounded frames, and collection section media.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the said collection section media is either conductive, medium conductive, non-conductive or combination of these.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said low pressure one way rubber air valve is twisted on sides against the said housing, whereas the said air valve opens inside fresh air unit to maintain pressure inside the unit.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said rubber is selected from impermeable material but not limited to halogenated butyl rubber or EDPM rubber.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said low noise fan is selected based on rotation speed, air volumes and pressure difference.

10. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said particle filters and chemical filters are made of environmentally friendly biodegradable materials.

11. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical filter and the high efficiency particle filter are fixed together in an adjacent position.

12. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said particle filter is in plate form.

13. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said protrusions are equally sized.

14. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the said protrusions have an equal distance to one another.

15. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical filter is adapted to filter ozone.
