Turbo Air Purifier for Filtering Bacteria

流感、SARS和COVID-19等病原体在人与人之间的传播最常见的是通过身体接触、污染物和空气飞沫进行的。虽然可以通过定期用消毒剂擦拭表面来对表面进行良好的保护，但在缺乏室外通风的情况下，很难清洁室内空气空间。并不是所有的建筑都配备了现代化的通风系统，并内置了抗菌过滤器。通过空气传播病原体的风险很高，特别是当面部标记不能一直佩戴时。显然，迫切需要将医疗级空气净化器用于临床环境中的人口密集空间，例如医院候诊室，GP中心，牙科诊所和药品。我们的愿景是拥有一个桌面大小的涡轮空气净化器，它足够紧凑，可以方便地从一个房间移动到另一个房间，但足够强大，可以提取和清洁空气中的病原体，与专业安装的现代HVAC系统相似。涡轮空气净化器将具有易于采用的多功能性，并能够在几分钟内清洁大房间的空气，捕获和杀死所有已知的病毒和细菌。长远目标是将涡轮空气净化器扩展至酒店及办公室空间，以限制COVID-19的传播，并在公众重返工作岗位时保护他们。

Transmission of pathogens such as flu, SARS and COVID-19, from human to human are most commonly made through physical contacts, fomites, and airborne droplets. Whilst good protection can be made on surfaces by wiping it down regularly with sanitizers, it extremely difficult to clean indoor air spaces where there is a lack of ventilation to the outdoor. Not all buildings are equipped with modern ventilation systems has anti-bacterial filters built in. There is a high risk of transmission of pathogens through the air, particularly when face marks can not be worn all the time. Clearly, there is an urgent demand for medical grade air purifiers to be used in populated spaces within the clinical settings, such as hospital waiting rooms, GP centers, dental practices and pharmaceuticals. The vision is to have a desktop size turbo air purifier that is compact enough to be moved conveniently from room to room, but powerful enough to extract and clean the air off pathogens similar rate of a professionally installed modern HVAC system. The turbo air purifier will have the versatility to be adopted with ease and have the capability to clean the air of a large size room in matter of minutes, trapping and killing all known viruses and bacteria. The longer term goal is to extend the turbo air purifier towards the hospitality and office spaces to restrict the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the members of the public as they return to work.
