Abstract

An air conditioning unit comprises an ioniser, an electro-static dust catcher and a device for enriching air with healthy doses of a solution of sea salts. The air is sucked into the ioniser's body 1 by fan 2, and passes through the dielectrical filters 5 and 6 between the cathode 4 and the anode 3. Then the air is ionized negatively with the help of needles 8 situated on the anode 3 and is enriched with solution of healthy doses of sea salts, which pass to a finely dispersed phase from the absorbent cover 18 in the chamber of ionization 7. Purified from dust, ionized and enriched with healthy salts the air disperses in the premises.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE 1NVENT-LON

ONiTR'UCTION OF TE IGNISER The construction of the ioniser includes a body 1, an electric fan 2, an anode3, a cathode 4, a rest 4 a 91 a filter 5, a filter 6, a chamber of ionization 7, needleq 8, a generator of voltage 9, a high voltage cable 10, a holder of anode 11, a contact 12, a container 13, an opening of tie container 14, a plateof automatic s,.,,,itching off the ioniser 15, an absorbent cord 16, an absorbent material 17, an absorbent cover 18, an opening for d.'smantling of the anode 19, a cap of automatic switching off 20, a screw for reinforcement of anode21, a :)rotective bar 22, a detail of automatic swithL-ig off the ioniser 23, screws of reinforcement of the)rotectiv bar 24, a stand the ioniser 25, an electricity cable 26 and a switch 27, which is different from =Jown constructi ons that with the object of provision bigger square of premises with aionized air. improvement quality of purifi cation of the air from dust, enrichment air in healthy dashes e. g. solution of sea salts or other healthy dashes, lowering weight of appliance, it's dimension for power unit the construction constitutes composition of an ioniser of air, an electro - static dust catcher and appliance for enriching air in medical dashes e. g. solution of sea sal-us.

Air is sucked into the ioniser by the fan 2, passes through electro-static purification from dust, through ionization, through enrichment of healthy dashes, then disperses in a premise, moreover the electro-static dust catcher encludes the cathode 4 and the filter 6 and the anode -Jandthe filter 5.

4 T't-i-2:f ilters are riad, of poro-,-s d-electrical mater',-.1 an d the c_---thode 4 with the 'L ilter 6 are bei-n- fixed "ith a rest - a an-- the potential to the anode 3 an,.' the cathode is being -'ven from Ine -enerator of voltage through -u -e high voltage cable 10 -.nd the contact 12. Illoreover an electro-jtatic field of high intensity is being formed bet-.,(, cathode 4 and the anode 3 and accordinc-ly be'',,..,Teen their filters 5 and 6, and Zhis field ensures complete sedimentatic, of dust on the filters 5 and bfrom air going between them.

At the same time the needls 8 are setuated on the anode 3 and they are directional to the cathode 4 forming an electric field of high intensity particularly on points of the needls 8 which generate medical negative char;1red ions known ranges of voltages, at the same time the electrostatic field is closed inside the appliance between the cathode anu- the anode, it defends peoplefrom the influence of the field.

At the same time the ioniser is equipped whith the container 17) for solution of healthy dashes e. g. solution of sea salts, which are being poured throw the opening 14, is been closed by the plate of the automatic switching off the -,ui-ser 15) and the solution rises through the absorbent cord 16 and gets the cavity of the anode 3, which is filled with absorbent material 17 and through it the solution gets on the:bsorbent cover 18, situated on the anode 3 in the chamber of ionization 7 where the soiution passes to the finely dispersed phase - that is the phase of the smallest dro-,Ds un,,ier the effect of electro- static potential and stream of air together,.jith life- givingair ions disperses in the air of permises.

- 5 All high voltage portions of the ioniser are situated inside the appliance -znd the.v are inaccessible. Any accidentall attempt to open the appliance without it switching, off leads tc automatic s,,iithing off the appliance, owing to the detailS of automatic swithing off and the plate of automatic swithing off, which 'Clock the power supply of the ioniser. Proposed construction of ioniser works in this way. The ioniser is bing fixed on a level of human height on the szand 25. After swithing on the ioniser,the fan 2 sucks air _inwads the ioniser's body 1 to the space between the a-node 3 and the catnode 4. The anode 3 supplied with the filter 5, which is put on it, and t-he cathode 4 has the filter 6, which is put in -it. In this way the air from the fan 2 gets the space betll-vjeen-u.-ie JEiltel---5and 6 behind which the cathode 4 and the iinode 3 are situated. The cathode 4 and a the filter 6 are being fixed with the rest 4. Swithing on the ioniser the space between the filters is in the electro -static field of high intensity and any particles of dust from the air is ben- precipitated on one of the filters. Because

C) - of the filters being made with dielectrical material, particles W of dust continue to move foward to the electrodes filling 7, all the filIzers;-lradually. This guarantees lengthy work of the filters. Then purified from the dust air goes into the chamber of ionization 7, where the needles are situated on the anode 3 and are directional to the cathode 4, forming the electric field of high intensity on points - 6 of the needleS creat-:nc. negative cnarged ions of air including ions of oxygen.

Tr-e electro-static potetial to ztie anode 3 and cattiode 4 is being given from thegenerator of voltage 9 through the high voltage cable1O and the contact 12.

In order,-.o enrich i-r with natural heaithy dashes e. g. solution of sex salts, the ioniser is supplied;,'Lth the container 13 with the opening 14 and the plate of automatic switching off the ioniser 15. The solu-u-Jon of healthy dashes is being poured through the opening 14 and it is beinclosed with the CD C:1 plate 15 and wit., the can of automatic swithing off the ioniser 20 before J,rithing on the ioniser. The solution of healthy dashes rises on the absorbent cord 16 -,--id U 1 gets into the cavity of the anode 3, which is f illIed with the absorbent material 17, t..roig,) --'It the solution -ets on the absorbent cower 18, which is situated in 'U-he chamber of ionization 7, where the solution passes to a finely dispersed phase that, is the phase of the smallest. drops under the effect of electro-static -otential and stream of a-Jr and together with life-giving air J..ons disperses in the air of perm.ises. in this way it's possible to enrich air iri healthy dashes e.g. solution of sea salts constantly or periodically.

The inspection and -washing, if It's needed of the filters 5 I and 6 and absorbent cover 18 is oeing carried out i_n this way. At the first the J.onise.- is be--'n,-, switched off -viith t-he switch 27, and the ioniser is bein,-:,, disconnected with electricity cab1C26, after that protective bar 22 is being dismantled by rewov-'ng the detail of automatic switching off the ioniser 2-1 and the screws 24.

1 Then the screw 21 is being weakened through the opening 19 with the cap 20, and anode 3 with the filter 5, the needels 8 and the absorbent cover 18 are being taken out and the filter 6 is being taken out of the cathode 4. After -,ha'u inspection of the filters 5 and 6 and absorbent cover 18 is being carried n.nd then washing them upor replacing them whith new ones, if it necessary have to be done. After replacement of the filters and the absorbent cover, the ioniser '-s being pre-pared for work in the reverse order.

19 TIHE SEARCH OF ANALOGUES The search of analog-Lies of -,wen-1k-l-y five years depth has been carried out with the help of specialists at Leet Patent library.

It's known that the author of t""-ie idea of creating air or air c', woods and valleys was a Russian scientist Cnigevsiy, who was a pupil of world-wideely famous Tialkovskiy.

provided the benifit of ionized air. He created the chandelier which was equpped with approximately one hundred steel needles, which were mading negatively ionized air.

Chigevskiy's construction has being used till our day and is beinproduced by different firms with insignificant changes.

However, there are always dust and bacteria in our air in perm.ises. Therefore the construction of ionisers with dust collectors have appeared recently.

The search of analogues was carried out by a combination of signs: ioniser, electro-static dust catcher.

Among the found constructions there was no one similar proposed construction having a device for enrichin& air j-h healthy dashes ( solution sea salts or others). Nevertheless. we comDa--e found analogues ioniser with electro-static dust catcher, missing out a presence of device for enriching air ip. healthy dashes in proposed construction as there are no analogues in combination with an ioniser.

ionized air similar to mauntain Chigevskiy - ' C11 - These are found closer constructions:

1. German construction patent 4139474 A 1 from 04-o6-92.

2. U S patent 5268000, from o7-12-93.

Electro-static dust collector in the German construction consists of a row of parallel rectangular elect-rods-filters ,,.,hich are joined to cartridge the positive and negative potentials are being given to them. Moreover the elec-111-ric potential of the reverse sign is being given to the neigh.bouring filtersowing to this fact, dust is being collected on these electrodes-filters. Electrode filters have a metal oxide layer on their surfaces. later on vhez:e electrodes-filters were changed to electrode-filters J- from graphite fibres, this somewhat increased the length of their service.

Electro-static dust collector in american construction also h_as a row of parallel rectangular filters joined to the cartridge. However, the filters made fror. fibres are --'"ixed with the metal grid and connected to ground, and the fibres themselves have it's charge which should collect dust. Therefore, ne electrical electro-static the filter is called llelectro-static filter?', but the main part of dust is being collected in a mechanical way.

Lnalysing the work of the American electro-static dust catcher, we can see that the charge Of the f ibres is not sufficient for lengthy service of the filter. Fibres which have it Is own electro-static charge are being neutralized quickly with dust, which is being precipitated on the surfaces of the fibres. After this, the filters lose their ability to catch dust with electro-static charge.

C - That is the filters let through a part of dust or nearly all the dust.

An electro- static filter of the german construction serves a little lonEer than an American filter. -However. dust sticks over the electrodes and new dust has no opportu nity to stay on them and passes through t-he appliance to a premise.

A nii-mber of firms uroduces electrodes-filters made graphite fibres, that ilicrease length of their service 1ittle. 11-1owever. dust setting on these filters has no as on - i_ o move inside the -Oilter as there is the same potential as ch the outside of the filter, which the dust has reached already by settling on the surface of the filters.

'f'er the surface of the - A U - graphite electrode-filter has been plastered with dust, 'the filter loses it 1 s ability to catch new dust.

in proposed conctruction owing to the fact that the filters are made from delectrical porous material in the form of cylindrical covers girding each other. the filter 6 girding the filter 5 and the cathode L, and filter 6 gird the filter 5 and the anode 3 and air goes between C> the filters 5 and 6, precipitated on the filters dust moves closely to the electrodes and the filters gradually are being filled with dust completely. This process can being continiued u_ntil -,.he moment when both filters will be filled with dust completely. this provides a long period of filter's service without replacing them for new ones.

Owing to the fact that cathode and it's filter gird - it the anode and it's filter the construction is more compact 'lhan construction,,;hic-',i are being produced.

Besides proposed construction provides maximum simplisity: it has only two electrodes and two filters, it is safe and simple to use.

In this way proposed construction of ioniser is subsantially different from the known constructions and has definite advantages over t-hem: it provides a longer time of filter's service without replacement for new ones, compact of the ioniser, it has less quantity of details, it is simplein manufacture and use.

And the device for enriching air with healthy dashes in proposed construction of the ioniser has no analogues and it is an important and useful inovation by provision Deoplewith good air in premises.
