Evaluation of efficient combination UVC , filtration and heating unit for clean warm air.

**这项拟议的研究评估了一种前瞻性概念的可行性，以设计一种空气过滤、消毒和处理系统，该系统将与集成的电加热系统相结合，以经济实用的形式提供受控和环境舒适的室内生活体验。该项目是行业(Jenton International-Lead；AirGard Systems和Colt International)、科学家(De Montfort University，DMU)和住宅区(Saffron Lane Neighborhood Council，Leicester SLNC)合作，确保以社区和技术为基础的创新和高效室内污染物提取系统的设计。我们认为这是一个可持续和有效的解决方案，以改变弱势群体的供暖和空气质量的未来，他们都是燃料匮乏和空气质量差的受害者。这一解决方案将英国政府的清洁空气战略优先事项与面对气候危机和最近对空气传播细菌和病毒的日益关注而从无化石供暖转变的需求交织在一起。我们建议的技术采用了一种集成方法，通过将污染提取与空气流动/加热系统相结合，利用室内环境中污染扩散的对流性质，以及使用过滤和紫外线提取污染(包括化学和生物)。迄今为止，便携式空气净化器主要只用于住宅环境中的室内空气过滤(主要是粉尘PM2.5)。其他涉及在非热等离子体反应堆中电晕放电产生的臭氧的杀菌技术，由于地面臭氧产生和高电力需求，在家庭使用中不太受欢迎。不同波长的紫外线既可以分解挥发性有机化合物，又可以消毒空气中的病原体。此外，为了确保拟议的解决方案在英国家庭环境中的长期可行性，项目团队将对产品开发(第一阶段)及其现场评估(第二阶段)采取全面的方法，以适应气候变化对空气交换、英国住宅湿度和相应的供暖/制冷能源需求的影响。参与其中的公司将联合开发和提出一种简单而单一的室内设备，该设备将通过智能控制在单个房间水平上过滤、处理、加热和循环空气。热量的再利用和部件的共享将有助于提供比目前更可持续的供暖和空气质量解决方案，特别是迎合弱势群体的需求。

**New combination cleaner air and warmer room units for new generation housing.**This proposed study evaluates the feasibility of a forward-looking concept to devise an air filtration, disinfection and treatment systems, which will be combined with an integral electric heating system to allow a controlled and environmentally comfortable interior living experience in an economically practical form.The project is a collaboration between industry (Jenton International -lead; AirGard Systems and Colt International), scientists (De Montfort University, DMU) and housing estate (Saffron Lane Neighbourhood Council, Leicester SLNC) to ensure a community- and technology-informed design of an innovative and efficient indoor pollutant extraction system.We consider this as a sustainable and effective solution to transform the future of heating and air quality for vulnerable population, which are both victim of fuel poverty and poor air quality. This solution intertwines the UK government's clean air strategic priority with the needs for switching from fossil-free heating in the face of the climate crisis and recent increased concern regarding airborne bacteria and viruses.Our proposed technology adopts an integrated approach by coupling the pollution extraction with the air flow/heating system, capitalising on the convective nature of pollution dispersion in the indoor environment and the pollution extraction (both chemical and biological) using both filtration and UVc.To date, portable air purifiers have been the mostly only been used in residential settings for indoor air filtration (mainly dust PM2.5). Other germicidal techniques involving ozone generated by corona discharge in non-thermal plasma reactor have been less popular for domestic use owing to ground-level ozone generation and high electricity demands. UVC at different wavelengths can both break down VOCs and disinfect airborne pathogens.Further, to ensure long-term viability of the proposed solution for vulnerable population in UK domestic setting, the project team will adopt a comprehensive approach over the product development (phase 1) and its field evaluation (phase 2) to accommodate for the influence of climate change in influencing air exchanges, humidity in UK housing and the corresponding heating/cooling energy demand.The companies involved will jointly develop and propose a simple and single interior unit which will filter, treat, heat and circulate air at the individual room level -- with intelligent control. Reuse of heat and sharing of components will contribute to a far more sustainable heating and air quality solution than currently available, specifically catering to vulnerable population.
