Portable air filtration system
First Claim
1. A portable air filtration system for filtering air, said filtration system comprising:
- a filter housing including an air inlet and an air outlet and defining a filtration chamber between said air inlet and said air outlet;
an intake fan disposed within said filter housing for moving the air trough said filtration chamber by drawing the air in through said air inlet and dispelling the air out through said air outlet;
an ionizing mechanism disposed between said intake fan and said air outlet for ionizing particles within the air to a negative charge;
a filter media disposed between said ionizing mechanism and said air outlet for entrapping the particles; and
an electrode disposed between said ionizing mechanism and said filter media to establish an electric field between said ionizing mechanism and said electrode adjacent to said filter media, wherein said electrode is electrically-connected to ground and to said filter media for dissipating the negative charge of the particles entrapped within said filter media.

Abstract
A portable air filtration system includes a filter housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. The filter housing defines a filtration chamber between the air inlet and the air outlet. The portable air filtration system uses an ionizing mechanism, a filter media, and an electrode to filter air. The ionizing mechanism ionizes particles within the air to a negative charge. The filter media is disposed between the ionizing mechanism and the air outlet for entrapping the particles. The electrode is disposed between the ionizing mechanism and the filter media to establish an electric field. The electric field is established between the ionizing mechanism and the electrode adjacent to the filter media. The electrode is also electrically-connected to ground and to the filter media for dissipating the negative charge of the particles entrapped within the filter media.
