Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of and devices for the production of unipolar ions and for enriching the air of a room using oxygen ions and electrical fields while simultaneously deodorizing and removing from the air minute odor and suspension particles. It is known that mans well-being in closed rooms in agreeable temperature and humidity conditions depends on both the freedom from dust and odors of the air and on the electrical conditions present in the room. The last mentioned conditions are substantially determined by the ionization of the air.
- the method according to this invention is based on the following process: the ions are produced at the edges of a thin electrode resting on a dielectric layer, by means of glow or corona discharges maintained by an alternating voltage source, the other surface of the said dielectric layer being covered by a laminar counterelectrode.
- the stabilized glow and corona discharges on the insulating layer are kept to a length of fractions of a millimeter and at limited intensity, in which case the generation of ozone and nitric oxides is negligible, according to test results.
- the negative oxygen ions are withdrawn from the discharge and admixed to the breath air in an amount corresponding to a concentration up to 10 ions per cubic cm. by means of an electrostatic field produced in the surroundings of the discharge electrode.
- the ion source is operated under conditions which allow mixing with the air, according to the electric field strength, up to 10 unipolar ions but not more than about 30-10 grams of ozone per cubic cm. of the air, an amount of ozone which is substantially imperceptible and physiologically insignificant.
- the electrostatic field may be generated by means of semiconducting electrodes such as formed by the furniture and the normal delimiting surfaces of the room.
- the ozone generations may be intensified independen-t-ly of the maintained ion concentration, to an amount which deodorizes the room air without exceeding the allowable concentration of 30-10 grams ozone per cubic cm; this is obtained by control of the alternating voltage at the counterelectrode.
- alternating voltages between 1,000 and 4,000 volts are required; to generate the electrostatic field, direct voltages up to 4,000 volts are required.
- the DC source may be provided with an internal resistance of at least 10 ohms without noticeable voltage loss so that, in the event that the conducting electrode is touched, the voltage is limited to a harmless or non-perceptible magnitude.
- the unipolar ionization of the air commonly involves the further hazard that the fine aerosol particles having a dimension in the magnitude of 1 micron, which are contained in the air, are highly charged and will largely be retained, owing to such charge, in the depths of the tracheo-bronchial tree.
- respiration of unipolarly ionized air may cause toxic substances to deposit on the sensitive respiratory epithelium which, when not charged, are normally almost completely expelled or deposited in the upper portions of the respiratory tract. This may cause the osmosis of oxygen in the respiratory epithelium to be so severely affected that transistory losses of consciousness and symptoms of suffocation are experienced.
- the air of a room is freed from suspended and aerosol particles with particular efiiciency if, according to a further object of the invention, several glow or corona discharge devices designed as ion sources are suspended from the ceiling or placed on tables at various points in order to fill the room more uniformly with oxygen ions. They are charged by a DC source with adjustable voltage via an internal resistance of at least ohms. It is furthermore advantageous to distribute a plurality of glow or corona discharge devices serving as ion sources over the room underneath an intermediate ceiling insulated from the main ceiling and serving as an additional electrode; the negative oxygen ions produced by the said sources are drawn out therefrom into the room by an electrostatic field produced by a negative charge on the intermediate ceiling.
- the negative oxygen ions pass directly into the air.
- the human body is passed by an electrical current directed not downwards as in the positive atmospheric electrical fineweather field, but upwards.
- an electrical current directed not downwards as in the positive atmospheric electrical fineweather field but upwards.
- no favorable physiological effects are obtained with this current direction, it is in many cases advisable to modify the method according to the invention in such a manner that the body is subjected to a vertically downwardly directed field while the negative oxygen ions flow upwards.
- the glow or corona discharge device serving as the ion sources must be distributed on the floor or, in theatres and lecture halls, in the back-rests of the front seats or, charged by DC sources of which the voltage can be adjusted, placed freely on the floor or on low tables below the level of heads.
- the oxygen ions supplied by the ion sources are drawn, according to a further object of the invention, into the air by means of a positive electrical field generated by means of a ceiling electrode where by the intensity of this field may continuously fluctuate between a great value and a low value in a rhythm determined by the distribution of the oxygen ions.
- This positive space field must be so adjusted to one another that the negative oxygen ions are drawn out from the ion sources during the interval of low electric field strength are lifted vertically upwards to the head level in the interval of great electrical field strenth and, in the subsequent interval of low field strength distributed mainly in the horizontal direction so as to pass into the air in the desired concentration despite a positive residual space charge at head level, by the action of air convection and by diffusion.
- a further condition to be met is that the maximum rate of the change in the field intensity of the positive space field in the body does not generate displacement currents larger than those generated in a constant electrical field of 3,000 volts/m. by physical motion.
- the oxygen ion concentration in the air is adjusted by the negative operating voltage of the glow or corona discharge devices to the level desired, which is done largely independently of the ozone generation of the discharges.
- the latter may again be adjusted, independent of the flow of oxygen ions, by means of an adjustable current limiting resistance or a voltage source with adjustable voltage in the AC circuit of the discharge electrodes to a value which just sufiices to neutralize the odor particles but does not exceed an amount of about 30-10 grams of ozone per cubic cm. of air.
- the method enables a comparatively uniform homogeneous supply of oxygen ions to be passed into the entire room, in particular if the ceiling field is rendered homogeneous also in the vicinity of the walls.
- Homogeneization of the ceiling field may, according to the invention, be obtained by a doublelayer wall and ceiling covering of which the layer adjacent the wall and ceiling is electrically highly insulating and the layer above it semiconductive.
- the semi-conductive layer is provided with two metallically conductive current-supply electrode strips of which the one establishes electrical contact everywhere at the skirting and the other everywhere along the lagging.
- window and wall curtains have their upper and lower seams provided with current supply lines of superior semi-conductivity or metallic conductivity which are electrically connected at their level to the semiconductive wall covering and, respectively, to the said metallically conductive supply electrode strips.
- the semiconductive ceiling covering be provided with a washable coating which does not noticeably obstruct the ion stream owing to its thinness.

It has been discovered that an electrode arrangement of this design when operated with reduced spatial extension of the discharge to a fraction of one millimeter is suitable for use as an ion source of sufficient yield yet which generates only a negligible amount of ozone. Hence such an electrode arrangement can be used as an ion source for producing up to ions per cubic cm. to the surrounding air by means of an electric field without causing a concentration of ozone exceeding a value of 30-10 grams per cubic cm. of arr.

- the screen 13, the outer conductor 14b and the discharge electrode 3 carry a lower or higher negative D.C. voltage relative to the case 15 and also relative to the ground.
- the adjustable high voltage D.C. source generates an electric field 7 effecting the withdrawing of negative oxygen ions from the ion source (electrode 3) in the direction of the arrows.
