Abstract

An air purification system and apparatus including a housing, the housing incorporating various deflectors therein, and which support one or more blowers, for drawing contaminated air in through and intake grill and filter, and passing it through the housing, and its deflectors, into a confined space in proximity with one or more ultraviolet lamp, to attain air purification, before the air is forced by the deflectors out of an exhaust outlet for the housing and back into the room as purified air.

Claims

1. An air purification system including a housing, said housing being fabricated from various side, front, back, top and bottom walls, one of the back and front walls at their lower segments having an air intake, a filter operatively associated with the air intake, a series of deflectors provided within the housing, at least one blower mounted upon the deflectors, the blower drawing air into the housing through the air intake, and passing it into the air plenum formed by the deflectors, the deflectors confining and constricting the passing air into a condensed space, at least one ultraviolet lamp provided within the constricted space of the air plenum, and which when illuminated, providing for elimination of any bacteria and viral matter entrained within the condensing air, to provide for its purification, said deflectors aligned with an exhaust outlet provided in one of the walls of the housing, for transferring and discharging more purified air back into any room in which the air purification system locates.

2. The air purification system of claim 1 and wherein the constricted area of the formed air plenum having dimensions of approximately 2″

×

14″

in cross section, and the at least one ultraviolet lamp being provided within that constricted space of the formed air plenum.

3. The air purification system of claim 2 and including said filter being located within the front wall of the housing.

4. The air purification system of claim 2 wherein said filter being located within the said back wall of the housing.

5. The air purification system of claim 1 and wherein said side walls include a series of rails connecting thereto, said air plenum incorporating a blower installed within the housing by mounting onto the located rails and the at least one ultraviolet lamp being located in proximity with the air blower within the formed air plenum to provide for purification of the air passing through the system.

6. The air purification system of claim 5 and wherein said air blower locates proximate the intake of the housing.

7. The air purification system of claim 5 wherein said air blower locates proximate the exhaust outlet of the housing.

8. The air purification system of claim 2 wherein a deflector locates within the housing, said deflector having a bend at its upper end, the bend of the air deflector locating in proximity with the back wall of the housing, to thereby form a confining and constricting location for passage of the air through the formed constricted space.

9. The air purification system of claim 5 and including a timer operatively associated with the housing and providing for the timed operations of the system during usage.

10. The air purification system of claim 1 and including a pair of blowers mounted upon the deflectors.

11. The air purification system of claim 1 and including two ultraviolet lamps provided within the constricted space of the air plenum.

12. A compact air purification system including a housing, said housing being fabricated from various side, front, back, top and bottom walls, one of the back and front walls at their lower segments having an air intake, a filter operatively associated with the air intake, said side walls including a series of rails connecting thereto, an air plenum incorporating a blower installed at its intake for the air plenum within the housing by mounting onto the located rails, and at least one ultraviolet lamp being located in proximity with the air blower within the formed air plenum, to provide for full exposure and purification of the passing air through the air plenum to provide for the elimination of any bacteria and viral matter entrained within the passing air during system operation, said air plenum forming an intake at the location of the incorporated blower, and said air plenum forming an exhaust outlet providing for the discharge of the purified air through the front wall of the housing.
