Turbo Air Purifier for Filtering Bacteria

流感、非典和新冠肺炎等病原体在人与人之间的传播最常见的方式是通过身体接触、病毒和空气中的飞沫。虽然可以通过定期使用消毒剂擦拭表面来对其进行良好的保护，但在室外缺乏通风的室内空气空间是极其困难的。并不是所有的建筑物都配备了现代化的通风系统，还内置了抗菌过滤器。病原体通过空气传播的风险很高，特别是当面部痕迹不能一直戴着的时候。显然，在医院候诊室、全科医生中心、牙科诊所和制药等临床环境中的密集空间中使用医用级空气净化器的需求非常迫切。我们的愿景是拥有一种桌面大小的涡轮空气净化器，它足够紧凑，可以方便地在房间之间移动，但足够强大，可以提取和净化空气中的病原体，速度与专业安装的现代暖通空调系统相似。涡轮空气净化器将具有易于采用的多功能性，并能够在几分钟内净化大房间的空气，捕获并杀死所有已知的病毒和细菌。更长期的目标是将涡轮空气净化器推广到酒店和办公场所，以限制新冠肺炎的传播，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.
