Description

Use the cleaning system of ozone and atomizing fluids
Related application
The application is non-provisional application, and the benefit of priority of the U.S. Provisional Application that the application number that requires submission on January 24th, 2011 is 61/435,596, be incorporated to this paper by its content by reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to purification, sterilization and the deodorization of indoor and outdoors environment.More specifically, the invention provides a kind of by with ozone, degrade smell substance and by odor neutralizer, disinfectant or both be used for realizing the system further purified, described odor neutralizer and disinfectant also can be for suppressing be present in the level of ozone in processed environment space.
Background technology
It is estimated that people spend for about 90% time indoor.To the indoor pollution source that discharges gas or particulate matter in air, it is the main cause that causes IAQ (indoor air quality) poor.Deficiency in draught is owing to failing to carry enough outdoor airs to improve the indoor pollutant level with dilution from the emission in indoor source and the indoor air pollutants that can't purify in any restricted clearance in space.
The abnormal smells from the patient problem comes from multiple source: antibacterial, mycete, Nicotiana tabacum L., smoking, the smog from chemicals, culinary art, fireplace and house pet etc.Pollution from mycete and fungus is another main source of bad smell.
American National Bureau for Environmental Protection has provided for reducing three kinds of main policies of indoor air pollutants: source control, ventilation and air cleaning.Source is controlled and is identified as the most effective also pollution abatement source or reduces its discharge.Be not that all polluter can be identified easily and effectively reduce regrettably.For example, in animal facility, because have the harmful substance excreted in a large number, so use the source control example as also uneconomical in order to absorb to the animal facility deodorization.Ventilate because outside air can be brought into indoor but effective.Use the restriction of ventilating mainly to concentrate on the cost for heating or cooling input air.Therefore, for the most practical method that reduces indoor air pollutants, be to depend on the application of using air cleaning.A kind of such application is by means of using ozone technology.
Ozone naturally produces and is a kind of potent oxidant in atmosphere.By the ozone decomposed oxidation material time, the covalent bond of ozone deleting substance molecule.Ozone can oxidation of organic compounds for example antibacterial and mycete, give air sterillization and disperse abnormal smells from the patient and toxic smoke.
Ozone is due to electric discharge or ultraviolet (UV) radiation and being generated by oxygen.Form the singlet oxygen atom by the diatomic oxygen molecule of cracking and generate ozone molecule.The ozone prepared for the business application is to generate by corona discharge, UV radiation and electrolysis.
Ozone for air-treatment guides with gaseous form usually.Ozone consists of the oxygen molecule that comprises three atoms rather than two atoms.The atom had more in ozone is known is to find that Organic substance depends on and the loose free radical of oxidation thus.Because ozone is occurring to be reduced to oxygen after oxidation, thus ozone known be friendly oxidant.Ozone is a kind ofly indoor, to propagate everywhere and the most ofs organic oxidizing gases of oxidation, and during this process in ozone and most of abnormal smells from the patients and some gas.
In the people such as Masaoka (" ozone purification of sterilizing room (Ozone decontamination of bioclean rooms " that the people such as Masaoka delivered at " application and environmental microbiology " (Applied and Environmental Microbiology) the 43rd volume the 3rd phase 509-513 page in a nineteen eighty-two) literary composition) application that utilizes ozone purification hospital sterilizing room disclosed.This piece of list of references points out that it is the good cleanser of test bacterium that the verified concentration with 40ppm keeps the ozone of three day time.Compare with conventional formaldehyde treated dosing mode, ozone application seems to use simpler, bring into afterproduct still less (once ozone be converted into nontoxic oxygen in air), and reduced the disinfectant sucked by the corpsman,hospital.
People such as Pan (in " by ozone to the deodorization of laboratory animal facility (Deodorization of laboratory animal facilities by ozone) " literary composition that the people such as Pan delivered at Exp.Anim. the 44th volume the 3rd phase 255-259 page in nineteen ninety-five) disclose ozone treatment apparatus efficiency except ammonia in animal facility.The device of introducing in this piece of list of references is introduced room air and is allowed it to follow a small amount of ozone gas generated by electric discharge to react, and the material given off a peculiar smell is degraded by the oxidation effect of ozone thus.But, this piece of list of references seems and not mentioned related organization, therefore the odor neutralizer of atomization will further be processed for two kinds of following abnormal smells from the patients: a) by ozone application, fail the abnormal smells from the patient of eliminating and b) by ozone application and the new abnormal smells from the patient of introducing.
Cause that by supersonic oscillations the atomization of liquid is known equally.Range of application relate to from as the fountain of decorative element to the humidifier for medical application and the aerosol apparatus inhalation device for the treatment of asthma for example.
The people such as Barreras (people such as Barreras is in " water atomization of transient state high-frequency ultrasonic (Transient high-frequency ultrasonic water atomization) " literary composition of delivering at " fluid experiment " (Experiments in Fluids) the 33rd volume 405-413 page in 2002) provided physical property of fluid and the aerosol that generates by ultrasonic frequency in particle diameter between relation.This piece of list of references introduced a kind of make the aerosol stream that generates needn't the teardown of physical obstacle for example the pollen filter device just can permeate the device of all parts in vehicle air conditioner.
It is relatively low that a kind of advantage of ozone technology is that it follows other technologies to compare cost.In addition, ozone with at present the most frequently used chemicals for example chlorine to compare the corrosivity of material and facility also lower.And ozone is killing bacteria in seconds by being called as cytoclastic process, and therefore microorganism unlikely forms ozone proof resistant strain.Finally, even ozone technology needs also only to need few manpower to apply.For using ozone stifling as a kind of for having had the sanitary new method of abnormal flavour facility such as animal feeding room to assess to carry out correlational study (" by ozone to the deodorization of laboratory animal facility (Deodorization of laboratory animal facilities by ozone) " that the people such as Pan delivered at Exp.Anim. the 44th volume the 3rd phase 255-259 page in nineteen ninety-five).Utilizing conclusion that the experiment of subtilis spore thing obtains is that the ozone of 2-6 hour is fumigated to the practicability and effectiveness such as shrouding, aspect the sterilisation of objects such as liner and working clothing.In 1992, the people such as Sato (people such as Sato in 1992 at Exp.Anim. the 41st volume 39-45 page) have issued was equipped with ionizer and catalyst with for eliminating the novel system of abnormal flavour.
Utilize ultrasound wave to generate the feasibility of a large amount of drops at first by Wood and Lomis (" The physical and biological effects of high frequency sound-waves of great intensity " that the people such as Wood delivered at Phil Mag the 4th volume 417-437 page in nineteen twenty-seven).Ultrasonic atomization is a kind of method of very effective generation droplet.Usually use two kinds of methods under this background: conveying liquid stream by ultrasonic standing wave (" New development of ultrasonic atomizers " that Bendig delivers at the 4th atomization of liquid and the spraying system international symposium collection of thesis 133-138 page of Japanese fuel association) or on ultrasonic transducer deposit liquid.Second case can access the little droplet from the transducer ejection with low-down speed.
But the shortcoming of ozonization is that ozone can only kill surperficial microorganism.When microorganism exists with multilamellar or the form that clusters, limited for the effect of bosom microorganism.In addition, a lot of people find that the abnormal smells from the patient of ozone also makes us uncomfortable.And, known have with the mankind or animal be exposed to for a long time the health risk be associated in the ozone environment higher than certain level.
Therefore, thus in the remote areas that abnormal flavour is arranged to accumulation and surperficial deodorization and/or sterilization and ozonization fail the abnormal smells from the patient, the abnormal smells from the patient that forms as the ozonization side-product of neutralization of neutralization and after processing from zone method and/or the device of removal ozone have demand.
Summary of the invention

The specific embodiment
The present invention has conduct for purifying and the process of deodorization and the purposes of device to environment space.Particularly, the present invention relates to for example by those materials of antibacterial, fungus, cooking fume, animal body odour or other abnormal smells from the patients generation abnormal flavour, carry out deodorization, sterilization and neutralization to producing abnormal flavour, wherein may form in addition multilamellar or existence and be difficult to the zone arrived.
Use separately the conventional deodorization of ozone process in some cases can due to the permeability of ozone in processed environment not and poor effect.Therefore, the material of abnormal flavour is arranged or the inside that clusters may be protected the impact of avoiding the ozone deodorizing effect.In addition, although ozone at surface breakdown microorganism, still stayed cell debris and can form multiply plot for new invasion and attack., because for security reasons or because once ozone stops generating will be subject to himself inhibition, ozone may reside in the limited time in zone, so just there will be soon the development of further pollution and microbial contamination after processing.And ozone self also can stay and make us foreign odor in processed environment.
The present invention improved the routine techniques of eliminating abnormal flavour with alternatively to the sterilization of the pollutant in environment space and further ozonization after in and abnormal flavour.This realizes by two step process, after ozonization, is wherein the abnormal smells from the patient neutralisation treatment of atomization, and the latter relates to and uses various abnormal smells from the patient neutralization chemicals.Repeat alternatively two step process, until obtain level of purification and the abnormal flavour removal level of expectation from processed environment.The target of ozone treatment step is the material that oxidation has abnormal flavour; And the astonishing double effects of the abnormal flavour neutralization procedure has been found to provide obvious shortening ozone in processed environment half-life.Therefore, two step operations have three kinds of effects: i) oxidation has the material of abnormal flavour, ii) neutralizes residual abnormal flavour and the abnormal smells from the patient of residual ozone, simultaneously iii) by the inhibition of the level of ozone in environment, for human body is exposed, be safe level.
Any other the pollutant that can process residual cell debris or be provided or stayed by ozonization are processed in optional atomization disinfection agent before or after ozonization/cleanser.Due to these steps, processed surface is stronger to the resistance of the new pollution that growth of microorganism wherein may occur in other mode.Therefore, the present invention has overcome the limitation that merchandiser is solely used ozone, odor neutralizer or disinfectant to be associated.Be provided for realizing that the device of described method also can be arranged for the processing that realizes atomization disinfection agent and/or bodies for purifying fluids and needn't combine with ozone manufacture circulation herein.Without the ozone manufacturing step used in methods described herein, in abnormal flavour, with material, also can be atomised in processed environment.Provide and can realize that the single device of the combination in any of described method has increased the advantage that reduces hardware cost herein, in wherein ozone manufacture, abnormal flavour neutralization, ozone inhibition and decontamination cycle, the combination in any of all links or subset all can be used.Therefore, the user only need buy single device and just can realize any or all said methods.
Environment space of the present invention be can benefit from and automotive interior, trailer inside, naval vessel, aircraft, train, passenger vehicle, truck, bus, private residence, office, aircondition, supply air system, zone, toilet, stadium and nursing unit included but not limited to.The present invention can be effective to remove abnormal flavour, and described abnormal flavour includes but not limited to smoke, animal body odour, people's body odour, from the abnormal flavour of biomaterial, the abnormal flavour sent by antibacterial and yeast etc. of rotting.
Fig. 1 shows the device that is provided for realizing the method for the invention according to the present invention.Described device is in a ratio of inversion with the common orientation between its operating period and is the view of seeing from below.Device 10 generates the streams of ozone in the abnormal flavour atmosphere that has of sending into environment space to be clean.Device comprises housing 101, be positioned at the fan 110 of housing, comprise ozone generation unit and the ceramic wafer 210 of the shell of box body 220 forms.Carrier pipe 230 is connected to container 320 by the ozone generation unit, and described container is equipped with high-frequency ceramic transducer 310 with the liquid in the atomization container.
Fig. 2 schematically shows for realizing the assembly set-up mode of described method.Surrounding air transmits between the discharge region 240 in box body 220.Box body 220 is made by metal, plastics or other durable materials.Preferably, box body 220 is made by ABS plastic or the better material of ruggedness.Discharge region 240 comprises ceramic wafer 210, in each side of ceramic wafer 210, anode 2110 and negative electrode 2120 is arranged.Discharge region 240 is positioned at the bottom of box body 220.Voltage in ceramic wafer is energized to obtain from 3000V to the 4000V scope.Preferred running voltage for discharge region 240 is the 3000V of 60KHz.The carrier pipe 230 of being made by rustless steel alternatively is connected to box body 220 tops and sends in the space that needs to purify by the open space that container 320 and outlet tube 340 are housed with the ozone by generation.Optional valve 330 is positioned at container 320.If valve 330 exists closes during the ozone generation phase, so that the liquid that valve holds below 330 does not mix with the ozone from carrier pipe 230.
Liquid in liquid atomizer unit 300 interior atomizations further enters subsequently by the pretreated purification of streams of ozone and/or deodorization and/or sterilising zone.Before ozonization, in container 320, add the liquid with abnormal flavour neutralization and deodorization character.Liquid Detection of Existence device is arranged for the liquid existence in inspection instrument 320.Liquid is stored to the liquid level lower than valve 330.Container 320 is preferably to have the very Stainless steel 316 L of smooth surface to make by chemical polishing.The range of atomization 350 that comprises ceraminator 310 is positioned at the bottom of container 320.Atomization starts when bringing to it at ceraminator 310 in 0.5MHz to 5MHz scope by the high frequency generator 172 that is connected to micro-control data processor 170 and being preferably the resonant frequency of 1.7MHz.Send a certain amount of liquid by valve 330 from container 320.Under the frequency of 1.7MHz, ceraminator 310 forms high frequency waves in the liquid of described a certain amount of liquid, pushes the fluid column that liquid becomes fountain shape.At the fountain edge, liquid breaks for very little aerosol.Aerosol is sent to the space that need to be purified by outlet tube 340 subsequently.The size and dimension of outlet tube 340 is designed to contribute to form optimum air-flow and eliminate to cross the aerosol of major diameter separating device 10.Thereby one or more sensors can be arranged on the crucial At The Height of container 320 outer walls to be contributed to the liquid level in container 320 is remained on to most preferred optimal liquid level for atomization is processed.The form of pressure transducer 171 that for detection of the sensor of liquid level, can adopt direct connection or be connected to container 320 by optional pipe 321 is with the pressure that liquid was generated for detection of container 320 interior certain liquid levels.One or more optional sensors can be installed when too high with the liquid level in indication container 320, when too low and when too high temperature fluid is.When liquid in container is very few, not enough liquid should show as that suitably to suppress for human body is exposed by level of ozone after ozone generates step be safe level.Therefore minimum can be that to be enough to suppress for human body is exposed by the level of ozone in processed environment be the minimum of safe level.So the minimum of container inner fluid and maximum can be defined as making amount of liquid in container only higher than minimum and lower than maximum, otherwise described device just can not generate ozone.In specific example, minimum for the automotive interior capacity between 1.5m 3to 4.5m 3in application-specific in scope, can be the 60ml fluid with ozone inhibition activity, but the application of described method be not limited to these numerical value.The physicochemical properties that apply chemical mixture are that liquid is atomized is 1 μ m to the granule in 5 μ m scopes.
Carry the necessary air-flow of ozone and aerosol and generate by air conditioner unit 100, comprising fan 110 and optional built-in 5 μ m particulate filters 120.Filter 120 can be changed from the outside 160 of fan 110.After the process particulate filter, air-flow is advanced by connection tube 130 (Fig. 2) subsequently.The intensity of air-flow can be regulated by the running speed of revising fan 110.Be provided with the optional air temperature sensor 140 be arranged on connection tube 130.Handling duration for delivery of the air-flow of aerosol can be adjusted automatically according to the temperature of input air-flow.Air-flow is stably advanced by open space and outlet tube 340 in the open space in box body 220, carrier pipe 230, container 320 from connection tube 30.
50-60Hz power supply by 230V or 110V of ozone generation unit 200, liquid atomizer unit 300 and air conditioner unit 110 or 12,24 and the DC power supply of 48V.The conventional electrical system is controlled rotating speed, the ozone generating power of discharge region 240 and the atomization power of range of atomization 350 of fan 100.In addition, electronic system is also regulated sensor on container 320 and the operation of air temperature sensor 140.Air temperature sensor 140 on position next-door neighbour connection tube 130 be the optional radiator 150 (Fig. 2) that can provide electronic system cooling.Ozone generation unit 200 and liquid atomizer unit are structurally located so that in the situation that the protected impact of avoiding leakage liquid of the unexpected overflow electronic system of liquid.The operation of whole device 10 is by shown in Fig. 3 and be positioned at control panel on device 10 outer surfaces or remote controllers etc. and realize.The feature of control panel comprise LED410, the low liquid level of indicating liquid of light emitting diode (LED) 450, the indicator solution height liquid level of indicating liquid nebulisation operation LED420, indicating liquid high temperature LED430 and indicate ready LED460.In addition, the duration of ozonization and start/stop function is all set by the button 440 on control panel.When control panel is available, the entity for most processes of operating means 10 without operator exists and can realize, thereby avoids the exposure that operator are dangerous owing to having ozone, sterilization chemical or other neutralization chemicals.Device 10 is provided with alternatively and carries handle 470.
When operating means, when for example generating the streams of ozone of 20mg/ hour, the ozonization duration of 15 to 30 minutes just is enough to purify the volume that can compare with automotive environment.Be used for the typical volume of automobile at 2.5m 3left and right, and can be at 1.5m 3to 4.5m 3scope in.Once complete, may be the ozone cycle of processing in 30 minutes, concentration level be about 0.8ppm, and this level is stipulated mankind's lethal dose lower than 4ppm's.Once have the abnormal flavour neutralization, with the liquid of ozone inhibition activity, be atomised in environment, level of ozone just can be reduced to and be less than 0.01ppm within the very short time.This is a kind of advantage, and reason is that the level of ozone in environment can as shown in the tablely cause injury to material and people.
