Title:
AIR IONIZATION MODULE AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006039147
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
An air ionizing module and method for generating ions of one and opposite polarities within a flowing stream of air or other gas includes a thinfilament electrode mounted within the flowing stream in regions thereof of maximum flow velocity. The thin-filament electrode is mounted in a multisided polygonal configuration to receive high ionizing voltage of alternating one and opposite polarities to form an intense stream of ions toward an electricallyisolated reference electrode positioned upstream of the filament electrode. Another reference electrode positioned within the flowing stream downstream of the filament electrode receives a bias voltage of selected polarity to control the quantities of generated ions of positive and negative polarities in an outlet stream of the ions and flowing gas.
