Smart Nano-Based Air Purification, Disinfection Device Indigenized in Iran
Several technologies have been combined and applied in the home-made smart air purification and disinfection device in a way that the nano-based and photocatalytic system is placed beside the green plasma to help purify the air better and with greater synergy.
The Iran-made air purifier has a primary pre-filter system, a protective filter in which silver nanoparticles and micro-titanium are used, and the next filter is made of active nanocarbon.
The device enjoys the capability to analyze temperature, humidity percentage, amount of pollutant gases, air quality index and gas leakage with 5 environmental sensors, and displays them on its screen.
It is also equipped with a software which connects to the cell phone and can be controlled remotely. The nano-based air purifier, which is available in different colors, enjoys the ability to purify an environment of 48 cubic meters, i.e. 160 square meters, with a height of 3 meters.
Among the other advantages of the device, mention can be made of very low power consumption of about 25 watts and very low noise level of about 30 to 40 dB. Also, the air filters of the device can be replaced easily and at a reasonable price after one year and when the filter replacement indicator appears on the screen (about three thousand hours of operation).
In another related development, a faculty member of the Islamic Azad University (IAU) managed to design and manufacture an ultraviolet air filtration system that is able to disinfect the air through a suction and blowing process.
The IAU professor Mehdi Baqeri-Mofidi said that after the health authorities announced that the coronavirus can be transmitted through droplets in the air, specially in closed and crowded environments, an air purifier using ultraviolet rays was built and tested.
Air purifiers can be effective in improving indoor air quality. There are different types available, and those that use UV light capture and destroy viruses and bacteria present in the air.
