Abstract

An outdoor air cleaning system includes a partition surrounding a purification space to isolate the purification space from an external space and having at least one opening connecting the purification space to the external space, an air purifying device configured to supply purified air to the purification space, and a controller configured to control the air purifying device. An openness level defined as an area ratio of the opening with respect to a surface area of the partition is about 10% or more and about 50% or less.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An outdoor air cleaning system comprising:
a partition surrounding a purification space to isolate the purification space from an external space and having at least one opening connecting the purification space to the external space;
an air purifying device configured to supply purified air to the purification space;
a controller configured to control the air purifying device;
a temperature adjusting device configured to form a temperature gradient between the purification space and the external space, and
a blocking device including at least one flow device installed adjacent to the at least one opening,
wherein the at least one flow device has a discharge port having an angle directed to the purification space such that the at least one flow device is configured to eject the purified air towards the purification space,
wherein an openness level is about 10% or more and about 50% or less, and
wherein the openness level is an area ratio of the at least one opening with respect to a total surface area of the partition surrounding the purification space.

2. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 1 , wherein the openness level is about 20% or more.

3. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 1 , wherein a volume of the purification space is about 100,000 cubic meters or less.

4. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the partition is transparent.

5. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 1 , further comprising a movable wall arranged to open and close at least a portion of the opening.

6. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 1 , wherein
the partition includes a side wall forming a horizontal boundary between the purification space and the external space and an upper wall forming a vertical boundary between the purification space and the external space, and
the opening is in at least one of the side wall and the upper wall.

7. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 6 , wherein the blocking device is configured to block unpurified air from flowing from the external space into the purification space through the opening.

8. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one flow device is a vertical flow device configured to receive the purified air from the air purifying device and configured to form a downward air flow from an upper portion of the purification space,
wherein the blocking device further includes a horizontal flow device configured to receive the purified air from the air purifying device and further configured to form a horizontal air flow along the side wall inside the purification space.

9. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 8 , wherein
the opening includes a second opening in the upper wall, and
the blocking device further includes a streamlined dome structure around the second opening.

10. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 7 , wherein
the opening includes a first opening in the side wall, and
the blocking device further includes a vertical blocking device at a vertical edge of the first opening configured to eject the purified air supplied from the air purifying device, vertically across the first opening.

11. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 10 , wherein the vertical blocking device configured to eject the purified air toward the purification space at an angle with respect to a vertical direction.

12. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 10 , wherein the vertical blocking device includes a downward blocking device at an upper edge of the first opening configured to eject the purified air downward.

13. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 10 , wherein the vertical blocking device includes an upward blocking device at a lower edge of the first opening configured to eject the purified air upward.

14. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 7 , wherein
the opening includes a first opening in the side wall, and
the blocking device further includes a horizontal blocking device at a horizontal edge of the first opening configured to eject the purified air supplied from the air purifying device horizontally across the first opening.

15. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 14 , wherein the horizontal blocking device configured to eject the purified air toward the purification space at an angle with respect to a horizontal direction.

16. An outdoor air cleaning system comprising:
a partition surrounding a purification space to isolate the purification space from an external space and having at least one opening connecting the purification space to the external space;
an air purifying device configured to supply purified air to the purification space; and
a temperature adjusting device configured to form a temperature gradient between the purification space and the external space, and
a blocking device including at least one flow device installed adjacent to the at least one opening,
wherein the at least one flow device has a discharge port having an angle directed to the purification space such that the at least one flow device is configured to eject the purified air towards the purification space,
wherein an openness level is about 20% or more, and
wherein the openness level is an area ratio of the at least one opening with respect to a total surface area of the partition surrounding the purification space.

17. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 16 , wherein at least a portion of the partition is transparent.

18. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 16 , further comprising a movable wall arranged to open and close at least a portion of the opening.

19. The outdoor air cleaning system of claim 16 , wherein the openness level is about 50% or less.
