Atmospheric disinfection device using electrostatic technology

Abstract

Reducing air pollution from suspended particles in the atmosphere, especially in closed environments, is one of the main goals of this invention. The 30 kV electric field generated by the switching system in this device causes the suspended particles to either become charged or move in the direction of the field due to polarization in the electric field. In this way, the suspended particles in the air can be deposited quickly. The sharp-tipped nozzles are screwed to a lightweight aluminum holder, which is called the "antenna". These antennas are connected to a 30 kV source throughout the hall or area where the atmosphere is to be cleaned. A strong electric field causes the particles suspended in the ambient air to settle on the floor, walls, and ceiling of the hall or on the dust collection tray. In addition to reducing the particles, the molecules that cause bad odors, such as ammonia and methane gas, are decomposed in the strong field and become less dangerous. In addition, most microbes are also destroyed. The atmosphere cleaning device is designed and manufactured for poultry and livestock breeding halls with the aim of reducing dust in the air and reducing the effect of vapors of gases in the air, such as ammonia gas, as well as reducing the microbial load in the air. However, for the same purpose, it can be used in factories, hospitals, traffic tunnels, numerous industrial, pharmaceutical, health, food centers, laboratories, and finally, wherever air pollutants, dust, or annoying odors are present in the environment.

Description

Description of the invention Title of the invention (as stated in the declaration) Atmospheric (air) disinfection device using electrostatic technology Technical background of the relevant invention This invention relates to the field of mechanics. Technical problem and stating the objectives of the invention Air is one of the five essential elements (air, water, food, heat and light) for the survival of humans and livestock. Reducing air pollution from suspended particles in the environment, especially in closed environments, is one of the basic needs of human and livestock health. The air in closed environments such as poultry houses or other livestock farms can be dozens of times more polluted than the air outside. The efficiency of the birds' respiratory system depends largely on the environmental conditions of the house. Diseases directly cause irreparable losses with high mortality rates and indirectly cause significant damage by reducing growth and production. In addition, the spread of disease causes a number of additional costs such as medicine, veterinary costs, labor costs and the impact on feed conversion ratio and efficiency, as well as increasing the amount of food waste (considering that the main cost of a unit under normal conditions is the cost of poultry feed and feed). Research has proven that airborne contaminants cause many different and dangerous diseases, and airborne transmission is the main way infections and diseases spread and occur in the environment, especially in poultry and livestock farming units.Microorganisms, including various types of viruses, fungi, and bacteria, are the most important factor in the transmission of dangerous diseases, especially through breathing the air, by the animals kept there. After entering the breeding environment, airborne pollutant particles either directly enter the respiratory system of poultry and livestock (due to the sensitivity of the poultry respiratory system and their high metabolism and respiration) or indirectly cause and spread infection by contaminating the water and food of poultry and livestock. Under normal conditions, the number of breaths in a male chicken is 13-20 and in a female chicken is 20-36 times per minute (in humans, 12 times). The efficiency of the respiratory system is greatly reduced in unsanitary conditions and disease. Even people living near such livestock farms can be exposed to various types of lung and respiratory diseases or other related diseases. The spread of diseases such as influenza and common diseases between animals and humans is evidence of this claim. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the issue of air pollution, given its wide range of effects. This invention is in the field of atmospheric cleaners and disinfectants by producing negative ions by cables installed using a strong static electric field. Airborne particles and microorganisms are attracted to negative ions due to electrical attraction (positive charge) and form heavier clusters. These clusters settle due to gravity or are adsorbed to neutral surfaces. What is negative ion? What are its benefits? An atom consists of a nucleus that has a positive energy charge (protons, positive and neutrons, neutral) and a certain number of negative electrons that are constantly rotating around it and their total charge is equal to the energy charge of the central nucleus of the atom. Therefore, the atom is normally neutral in terms of energy charge. When an atom is exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or atmospheric effects such as lightning in the sky, it loses one or more electrons (positive ions) or, conversely, one or more electrons are added to the structure of the atom (negative ions). The effect of negative ions on human and animal health: Negative ionization increases blood oxygen, which increases oxygen delivery to the entire body and increases metabolism and rapid growth of poultry. Negative ions also protect the body against dust and bacteria. The direct effect on viruses and bacteria, which the negative ion stops their growth and makes it difficult for them to penetrate the cell wall, and also increases the regulation of the immune system and defense of the human or livestock body when inhaled. How do negative ions eliminate air pollution? Oxygen atoms in the air easily absorb free electrons, creating negative oxygen ions. These ions improve the body's defenses against viruses and bacteria. Research has proven that negative ions have a biological effect on bacteria and viruses, destroying them upon contact. The strong electric field along the cables causes the airborne particles to be attracted and merged by the negative ions produced. Either they become charged or they move in the direction of the field due to the polarization in the electric field. In this way, the airborne particles can be precipitated. In this method, the input voltage of the device is 220 AC city electricity which is converted by the strong electric field to a high direct voltage of about 30 kV. This high voltage is transmitted to needle-shaped nozzles connected along the cables, which cause the production and diffusion of ions in the surrounding air. A description of the state of the prior art and the history of developments related to the claimed invention. A device called "Air Quality Enhancement System" was patented in the United States in 2013 under the number WO 2013 / 033707 A1. The patent does not mention anything about the voltage source, its specifications, or its design, and only provides information about the antenna, nozzles, and the antenna height-changing system. Providing a solution to an existing technical problem along with an accurate, sufficient, and integrated description of the invention The problem with previous inventions is the lack of safety precautions, so that before the worker enters the area where the device is installed, they turn it off and then enter the area. The method of installing the antennas with thick ropes and using a large number of insulators and a system for changing the height of the antennas are other problems and make the system complex and expensive. In the current invention, all of the above problems have been resolved. The purpose of this invention is to design and manufacture a device and system for: - Reducing suspended dust particles in the environment in a completely natural way - Elimination and severe reduction of ammonia gas produced by livestock feces or other gases produced by livestock - Reducing the microbial load in the ambient air and consequently reducing livestock losses without the use of chemicals - Reducing antibiotic use in livestock, which also contributes to better health for consumers. - Reducing and minimizing various odors in the space - Reducing the feed conversion ratio of livestock (by consuming the same amount of feed or less but increasing the weight of the livestock) - Increasing employee health as well as livestock health - Increased oxygen in the blood and increased metabolic activity of the body - Reducing the cost of livestock production and maintenance - Increasing the efficiency of organic livestock production - Reducing energy consumption in halls (there is less need for air conditioners to be constantly on) - Reducing construction costs and ease of installation are other goals of this invention. - Increasing the safety factor of the device for people working in that environment and the possibility of the device being on when people are present in the environment has also been considered. This invention is made of a high voltage generator, a number of antennas and a nozzle that emits electrons (negative ions) and establishes a strong electric field with the ground and surrounding walls. The power of the device is 60 watts, so its electric current is 2 milliamperes. At constant voltage, more watts means more current. More current causes faster sedimentation of suspended particles, but in the event of an electric shock, a high current may cause death. For this reason, we have designed and built a source with a current of 2 milliamperes for the safety of the device. If more current is needed, a number of these devices can be installed in parallel and independently of each other in the required location. We have named the device that hangs from the ceiling and has sharp nozzles screwed to it "antenna". The amount of flow between the antennas and the ground depends on the amount of dust, humidity, number of nozzles and the sharpness of the nozzle tips and the distance of the nozzles to the ground, ceiling, walls or collecting tray. Depending on the environment, the system can be installed so that the dust settles in the desired place (such as the collecting tray). An electric current from the nozzle ejects electrons (negative ions) by which particles suspended in the air are charged and attracted to the ground. The more dust particles suspended in the air and the more these particles are in contact with the nozzle and closer to the electric field, the more current is established from the source in the circuit (to produce more negative ions). Considering that the voltage source is DC, if the current passes through the human body, it seems unlikely that it will be possible to escape from it due to muscle contraction (compared to AC electricity). For sufficient safety in the circuit design, a maximum current of 2 mA has been considered, which, if connected to a person, will interrupt the circuit in a few tenths of a second. The nozzle or sharp point has a very high electric field, so that particles suspended in the air are charged upon impact with it and are driven towards the ground with great acceleration from the nozzle in the field, where they quickly hit the ground, a wall, or a special particle collection tray and stick to it. The pointed nozzles are screwed to a light aluminum holder. Each of these devices is 3 meters long and has a nozzle screwed to it along its length. From now on, we will call this holder "antenna". These antennas are also installed in parallel rows along the length of the hall or place where the atmosphere is to be cleaned. The antenna can be a pipe, a profile in any cross-section or an angle. Its material must be capable of conducting high voltage current and it is better to be light, which is why an aluminum angle is used. These antennas, which are connected to a 30 kV current source by specific cables, must be installed in place so that they do not connect to any other place and do not leak current, otherwise they will not clean the air well. On the other hand, the use of high-voltage insulators increases the cost of the device, so to reduce costs, we hang the antennas from the ceiling using thin and strong plastic threads. If AC field is used or some points are not followed, air is ionized at the nozzle tip due to very strong electric field and ozone gas is produced as a result. Ozone gas is a disinfectant but breathing it causes respiratory problems (standard amount of ozone gas production in the environment based on 8 hours of work in 5 days a week is maximum 0.06 PPM) therefore the amount of ozone gas produced must be within the permissible limit. In addition to reducing dust, the electric field atmosphere cleaner reduces the smell of ammonia and other gases (methane) in the environment and also partially eliminates unpleasant odors in the air. The presence of a strong electric field and ions in the atmosphere, if the ions settle on microbes, will break down the cell wall of the microbes. On the other hand, the contact of electrons and ions with ammonia molecules causes its decomposition and reduces the foul and dangerous smell of ammonia. The presence of 20 PPM of ammonia in the environment causes severe irritation of the eyes and lungs, and 50 PPM of ammonia causes death. The atmosphere cleaning device is designed and manufactured with the aim of reducing dust, ammonia vapor, and various microbes, bacteria, and viruses in poultry and livestock breeding halls. However, with a few changes in size and shape, it can be used in factories, hospitals, laboratories, health and pharmaceutical centers, food and sports centers, slaughterhouses, and also in road tunnels due to the high smoke levels. Explanation of shapes, maps and diagrams Electronics department: The electronic part of this device includes devices that convert 220 V city electricity to a direct voltage of 30 kV. The overall architecture of the system is based on switching and a multiplier circuit is used to increase the voltage to the desired value. The different parts of the device include a noise filter, a rectifier circuit, a control circuit, an amplifier circuit, a transformer, a multiplier, a voltage feedback system and an alarm system. Figure 1 shows the connection flowchart of the different parts of the electronic circuit. Filter noise: The noise filter, or EMI filter, which is prepared in a ready-made form, is responsible for improving the waveform and filtering the 220-volt voltage entering the device, as well as attenuating the current harmonics drawn from the city's electricity. Rectifier circuit: This circuit is responsible for converting the alternating voltage of the city electricity to direct voltage, which is done using a bridge diode and two capacitors. A varistor and TVS are also used to protect the circuit from high input voltage and an NTC is used to reduce the initial charging current of the capacitor. Figure 2 shows the schematic diagram of the rectifier board. Figure 3 shows the PCB file view of the rectifier board (bottom). Figure 4 shows the PCB file view of the rectifier circuit (top). Controller circuit: The control circuit is an analog circuit that uses a 40 kHz crystal and several logic gates to produce a controlled 20 kHz signal. This circuit changes the pulse width of its 20 kHz signal according to the voltage it measures through voltage feedback, and its operation is as follows: to increase the output voltage, it increases the pulse width, and to decrease the output voltage, it decreases the pulse width. When the device is turned on, an alarm command is given to the siren for 6 seconds, then a 20 kHz signal is applied to the amplifier circuit. Also, for greater safety, the output current of the device is limited to 2 mA with the current feedback taken from the amplifier board. If the current exceeds 2 mA, the device stops applying pulses and does not apply pulses until the device is reset, and at the same time the siren turns on and continues until the device is reset.After the first 6 seconds, when the amplifier starts applying the amplified signal to the transformer, it initially demands a large current, which causes the current to exceed the specified limit. For this purpose, the applied signal is initially applied to the transformer with a low pulse width, and by increasing the pulse width in about 15 seconds, the voltage reaches the desired level. During all the above steps, the voltage feedback is measured and considered. The schematic diagram of this board is attached. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the controller circuit PCB file (bottom) and the controller circuit PCB file (top), respectively. Amplifier circuit: The amplifier circuit is a class D half-bridge circuit that uses a pair of NPN MOSFETs to amplify the signal applied to its gates. In this circuit, the load (primary transformer) is placed between the output of the half bridge and the virtual ground. The virtual ground is created using two 2.2 microfarad capacitors placed between the supply voltage and the circuit ground; the point between the capacitors has a potential difference of 150 volts in terms of DC but is considered ground in terms of AC due to its low impedance at a frequency of 20 kHz. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the amplifier circuit PCB file (top) and the amplifier circuit PCB file (bottom) respectively. Step-up transformer: The step-up transformer is a transformer with a transformation ratio of 60, which is placed on a ferrite core. This core has dimensions of 120*160*40 mm. This core is immersed in epoxy resin to ensure insulation. The output of this transformer is about 20 kV peak-to-peak. For better insulation, the pulley is designed as a groove-groove. Figure 9 shows the 3D model of the step-up transformer. Multiplier circuit: A common multiplier circuit is used, which is constructed as follows. This circuit is responsible for quadrupling, negating, and also DC-converting the output voltage. The multiplier circuit is also immersed in epoxy resin for insulation. Figure 10 shows the schematic diagram of the multiplier circuit. The voltage feedback section is made using high voltage resistors that are in series with a 20k ohm 0.25 watt resistor, and the voltage of the 20k ohm resistor is considered as a multiplier of the device's output voltage. Figure 11 shows the image of the 30 kV generator of the EFA device. A clear and precise statement of the advantages of the claimed invention over prior inventions. Compared to previous inventions, this invention uses a switching circuit to increase the city's electricity voltage to 30 kV. The advantages of this system are isolating the components and circuit from high voltage and environmental conditions and preventing the formation of plasma around the 30 kV generator. The antennas and nozzles are made using aluminum angles with sharp screws that produce a very high electric field intensity but produce little ozone. The installation method of the antennas, which are hung from the ceiling with thin polymer threads, greatly reduces the cost of the device and the installation cost. The safety of the device has a high coefficient, so that if the antenna makes contact with a person's body or with the ground and the current exceeds 2 mA, the circuit is automatically cut off within milliseconds. To establish the current, the device switch must be reconnected. Description of at least one implementation method for implementing the invention This invention is made of a high voltage generator, a number of antennas and a nozzle that emits electrons (negative ions) and establishes a strong electric field with the ground and surrounding walls. The power of the device is 60 watts, so its electric current is 2 milliamperes. At constant voltage, more watts means more current. More current causes faster sedimentation of suspended particles, but in the event of an electric shock, a high current may cause death. For this reason, we have designed and built a source with a current of 2 milliamperes for the safety of the device.

An electric current from the nozzle ejects electrons (negative ions) by which particles suspended in the air are charged and attracted to the ground. The more dust particles suspended in the air and the more these particles are in contact with the nozzle and closer to the electric field, the more current is established from the source in the circuit (to produce more negative ions).

On the other hand, the contact of electrons and ions with ammonia molecules causes its decomposition and reduces the foul and dangerous smell of ammonia. The presence of 20 PPM of ammonia in the environment causes severe irritation of the eyes and lungs, and 50 PPM of ammonia causes death. The atmosphere cleaning device is designed and manufactured with the aim of reducing dust, ammonia vapor, and various microbes, bacteria, and viruses in poultry and livestock breeding halls. However, with a few changes in size and shape, it can be used in factories, hospitals, laboratories, health and pharmaceutical centers, food and sports centers, slaughterhouses, and also in road tunnels due to the high smoke levels. Explicit mention of the industrial application of the invention Predicting the results of using a poultry farm air purifier If the proposed air purifier is used in poultry houses, the following results can be expected: 1. Due to the absorption of suspended particles in the air, the potential for the development of infectious diseases will be significantly reduced. 2. The mortality rate of chickens will be reduced due to the destruction or inactivation of microorganisms. 3. By absorbing toxic gases and reducing unpleasant odors, stress-causing conditions and other diseases caused by them are eliminated. 4. Due to the creation of ionic balance, the metabolism of the chickens will increase and their growth rate will increase. 5. Removing the aforementioned contaminant will have a profound effect on reducing the conversion factor and, as a result, increasing the overall efficiency of the poultry farm. 6. Using air purifiers in poultry houses ensures the health of employees. 7. Investment in this industry will grow due to the creation of a safety margin. Poultry farming units for raising broilers: Poultry farming units for raising broilers play a significant role in providing protein to society, and what makes providing clean air and ventilation of poultry houses necessary is the use of closed environments and limited spaces for keeping and raising poultry. After entering the breeding environment, airborne pollutant particles either directly enter the respiratory tract of poultry and livestock (due to the sensitivity of the respiratory tract of poultry and their high metabolism and respiration) or indirectly cause and spread infection by contaminating the water and food of poultry and livestock. The management of meat units in relation to economic breeding, which is an important principle in this industry, is faced with various issues. One of the most important of them is the reduction of losses during breeding, which includes two major parts: Diseases Food waste Diseases: Diseases cause irreparable losses directly through high mortality rates and indirectly through reduced growth and production, causing significant damage. In addition, the spread of disease causes a number of additional costs such as medication, veterinary costs, labor costs, and impacts on feed conversion ratio and efficiency, as well as increasing the amount of food waste (considering that the main cost of a unit under normal conditions is the cost of poultry feed and feed). Research has proven that airborne contaminants cause many different and dangerous diseases, and airborne transmission is the main way infections and diseases spread and occur in the environment, especially in poultry and livestock farming units. Airborne pollutants in poultry houses can be divided into two categories: Gases generated in breeding halls – Toxic gases present in the air of the poultry house: Carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, and most importantly, ammonia are among the gases in poultry farming. These gases are produced by metabolism and other vital processes, as well as by the fermentation of poultry manure and litter. In high concentrations, they will cause the death of chickens. Toxic gases cause stress in the herd and also contribute to other diseases, such as: 1- Mineralocorticoid disease 2- Venous thromboembolism 3- Infectious bronchitis 4- Poisoning The amount of ammonia in poultry houses increases to 23 mg / m3 during the cold season. The odor from poultry droppings and bodies is also an important pollutant in poultry houses. These odors can cause stress in poultry. Microbial contaminants and microorganisms in the air Contamination has adverse effects on the health of poultry, and because it is the main cause of losses and losses in poultry farms, its elimination is essential and vital. Microbial contaminations present in poultry houses can be divided into the following three categories: A - Pathogenic microorganisms: It includes bacteria, viruses, molds, and fungi. The most common diseases and infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms include: -Microbial diseases: 1) Salmonella infections 2) Bacillary infections 3) Avian influenza 4) Bird flu -Viral diseases: 1)Newcastle 2) Poultry neoplasm 3) Avian influenza 4) Chickenpox 5) Infectious swelling of the liver -Fungal and parasitic diseases: 1) Coccidiosis 2) Favus disease (white crown) 3) Snowflake 4) Etc. Complications and effects of diseases and stress: Diseases and environmental stresses cause various issues and problems, including the following. 1- Increasing the mortality rate in chicks and adult birds 2- Severe reduction in poultry production such as meat, eggs, etc. 3-Low productivity and low growth 4- Increasing the conversion rate and consequently increasing the amount of food waste 5- The spread of pollutants in the environment and in connection with subsequent periods and other units. 6- Spending huge amounts of money on fighting and treating diseases 7-Reduction in the properties of medicines and foods 8-Common diseases among workers, poultry and workers or the community The above issues ultimately increase costs and economic inefficiency in breeding, which can lead to the destruction of a unit's capital. The importance of clean air in food waste: Clean air means air free from pathogens and pollutants with the right amount of oxygen and negative ions, just like the air in mountains and waterfalls. A high and appropriate amount of oxygen in the environment reduces food waste in poultry, so that more oxygen reaches the internal organs of the poultry, which leads to better metabolism of the poultry. Especially in the digestion process, with better oxidation and more food eaten, the energy of the food is released more completely, and with the increase in the level of absorption of materials, the conversion coefficient decreases and the efficiency of production increases. This means they will produce more for less food. Studies have shown that the level of productivity and efficiency in Iran is lower than the standard. Because the various stages of waste are more than reasonable. The standard feed conversion ratio in the latest research is 2.2-1.8 and this ratio in Iran is about 7.2-2.5. Thus, we have consumed 300-900 grams of extra food for each kilogram of meat produced. For a hall with 10,000 animals, this figure is equivalent to 3-9 tons. (Considering that the main unit cost is the cost of feed consumption). If the feed conversion ratio in a unit (hall) increases by, for example, 10,000 birds (due to reduced oxygen levels, illness, or stress) and if each bird consumes 20 Rials more feed per day, we will suffer a loss of 200,000 Rials per day and about 600,000 Rials per month. Now, if we consider the above issues from a technical point of view (hall air) and minimize the feed conversion ratio and consumption, we will save this amount and the unit will become profitable. Ionization system and its effects: The ionization system is a definitive solution to the aforementioned problems with air and suspended matter. By regenerating oxygen, producing negative ions, and creating ozone at a fully permitted and standard level, this system has the ability to create clean air free from infection and other aforementioned pollutants. The effects of using this system in poultry (meat) houses include the following: 1- It disinfects the ambient air with its germicidal properties. 2- By creating negative ions due to the collision of opposing ions in the environment, it causes the settling of suspended and polluting air particles. 3- It is very effective in reducing stress, which is one of the most important factors predisposing poultry to disease, especially during vaccination and pecking, which causes high stress in the flock. 4- The prevalence of cannibalism (blood eating) is significantly reduced due to the problem of density. 5- It leads to greater efficiency and higher production. 6- Maximum hall capacity and density can be utilized. 7- The need to use medications is reduced. 8- It causes chickens to feather out early, which is one of the important factors in breeding. 9- It is effective in healing wounds and resisting diseases such as umbilicus (due to better metabolism). 10- It is very effective in faster absorption of the yolk sac of chickens (due to better digestion and absorption of nutrients) 11- Negative ions have a very effective effect on vitality, survival, longevity, and individual resistance, and they contribute to the survival of living beings, especially birds. 12- It reduces fatigue caused by work in employees and increases their productivity, and prevents many illnesses among employees due to air pollution in the halls. It is important to note that the operation of the air ionization system is exactly similar to the operation of the sun with its nuclear reactions in the Earth's atmosphere. In other words, the production of oxygen and ozone by this system is completely natural. The air produced by this device is like the clean air of the mountains. The ionization system, with its germicidal and therefore disinfecting properties, is not only a very suitable solution for preventing the occurrence of diseases and consequently reducing their adverse economic effects, but also, by creating negative oxygen ions, it leads to better production and efficiency of the units. Using this system reduces many costs and saves money per unit, including: 1- Cost of operation and maintenance of devices, including ventilation devices 2-Reducing energy consumption 3- Not getting involved with diseases and as a result reducing costs such as fighting diseases and buying medicine 4- Reducing the conversion factor and consequently preventing food waste. 5- By restoring oxygen and adjusting electrostatic charges, as well as continuously creating negative ions, the metabolism of poultry improves, which leads to better growth and production. This invention can be used for the following purposes: 1- For poultry farms with the aim of reducing the amount of dust, the amount of ammonia gas, and suspended particles of microbes and bacteria in the air to reduce livestock illness and losses and antibiotic consumption, as well as reduce production costs. 2- For livestock breeding halls (cows, sheep and any other animal) in order to reduce the amount of dust, ammonia gas and microbes and increase livestock production. 3- Use in air ducts for hospitals with the aim of reducing the amount of bacteria, microbes, and viruses in the air, especially those who are usually hospitalized (sick people, the elderly, infants) who have weaker physical resistance. 4-Use in factory chimneys to collect and neutralize particles from factory smoke emissions. Brief description of the invention Reducing air pollution from suspended particles in the atmosphere, especially in closed environments, is one of the main goals of this invention. The 30 kV electric field produced by the switching system in this device causes the suspended particles to either become charged or move in the direction of the field due to polarization in the electric field. In this way, the suspended particles in the air can be deposited quickly. The pointed nozzles are screwed to a light aluminum holder called an "antenna". These antennas are connected to a 30 kV source throughout the hall or the area where the atmosphere is to be cleaned. The strong electric field causes the suspended particles in the ambient air to deposit on the floor, walls, and ceiling of the hall or in a dust collection tray. In addition to reducing the suspended particles, the molecules that cause bad odors, such as ammonia and methane gas, etc., are decomposed in the strong field and become less dangerous. In addition, most microbes are also destroyed.The atmospheric cleaning device is designed and manufactured for poultry and livestock breeding halls with the aim of reducing dust in the air and reducing the effect of vapors of gases in the air, such as ammonia gas, as well as reducing the microbial load in the air. However, for the same purpose, it can be used in factories, hospitals, traffic tunnels, numerous industrial, pharmaceutical, health, food centers, laboratories, and finally, wherever air pollutants, dust, or annoying odors are present in the environment.
