Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided that identifies the compounds contributing to fishy water odor from an air conditioner, reproduces the fishy water odor, and prepares a corresponding fishy water odor composition. Through the analysis method of the present invention, the compounds contributing to the fishy water odor from an air conditioner are identified and quantified. The fishy water odor is reproduced from a combination of the compounds identified by the analysis method of the present invention. The reproduced fishy water odor provides significant data required for development of an apparatus and a method for removing specific odor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A detected fishy water odor composition from an air conditioner comprising ammonia, acetaldehyde, toluene, m/p-xylene, o-xylene, methyl isobutyl ketone, butyl acetate, butanol, hexanal, decanol, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, acetone, dodecane, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-methoxyethanol, ethylbenzene, hexane, nonane, n-octane and n-undecane. 2. The detected fishy water odor composition from an air conditioner according to claim 1 , comprises: 0.08-0.20 ppb of ammonia; 10.00-12.00 ppb of acetaldehyde; 40.00-45.00 ppb of toluene; 14.00-18.00 ppb of m/p-xylene; 8.00-12.00 ppb of o-xylene; 1.00-4.00 ppb of methyl isobutyl ketone; 8.00-13.00 ppb of butyl acetate; 15.00-19.00 ppb of butanol; 0.10-3.00 ppb of hexanal; 0.10-3.00 ppb of decanol; 8.00-13.00 ppb of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene; 0.10-3.00 ppb of acetone; 38.00-42.00 ppb of dodecane; 8.00-11.00 ppb of 2-butoxyethanol; 0.10-4.00 ppb of 2-methoxyethanol; 3.00-7.00 ppb of ethylbenzene; 3.00-6.00 ppb of hexane; 3.00-6.00 ppb of nonane; 0.01-1.00 ppb of n-octane; and 2.00-5.00 ppb of n-undecane. 3. A method for preparing a fishy water odor composition from an air conditioner, comprising mixing ammonia, acetaldehyde, toluene, m/p-xylene, o-xylene, methyl isobutyl ketone, butyl acetate, butanol, hexanal, decanol, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, acetone, dodecane, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-methoxyethanol, ethylbenzene, hexane, nonane, n-octane and n-undecane. 4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprises mixing: 0.08-0.20 ppb of ammonia; 10.00-12.00 ppb of acetaldehyde; 40.00-45.00 ppb of toluene; 14.00-18.00 ppb of m/p-xylene; 8.00-12.00 ppb of o-xylene; 1.00-4.00 ppb of methyl isobutyl ketone; 8.00-13.00 ppb of butyl acetate; 15.00-19.00 ppb of butanol; 0.10-3.00 ppb of hexanal; 0.10-3.00 ppb of decanol; 8.00-13.00 ppb of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene; 0.10-3.00 ppb of acetone; 38.00-42.00 ppb of dodecane; 8.00-11.00 ppb of 2-butoxyethanol; 0.10-4.00 ppb of 2-methoxyethanol; 3.00-7.00 ppb of ethylbenzene; 3.00-6.00 ppb of hexane; 3.00-6.00 ppb of nonane; 0.01-1.00 ppb of n-octane; and 2.00-5.00 ppb of n-undecane.
