Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An air cleaning system may provide effective and evenly distributed removal of organic contaminants from airflow. An ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV LED) source may emit ultraviolet light onto a photocatalyst on a support in airflow where airflow is between the UV LED source and the photocatalyst.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An air cleaning system, comprising: a first array of ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) disposed in a first plane; a second array of UV-LEDs disposed in a second plane that is parallel to the first plane; a plurality of planar supports disposed parallel to the first and second planes whereby at least a portion of each of the supports are positioned intermediate the first array and the second array of UV-LEDs; wherein the supports each have respective pe…
