Thermodynamic Air Sterilisation

人们对口罩在公共场所保护个人的有效性存在相当大的怀疑。对于那些只是偶尔接触的人，口罩可能已经足够了，但对于那些长期持续接触的人，就需要一种更好的局部空气净化方法。热力空气净化系统目前是可用的，但不是便携式的，而且很重。该项目将使用先进的计算机模拟方法和增材制造（通常称为3D打印）来设计和原型化一种轻型设备，适用于现有公共交通车辆的HVAC系统的改造。

There are considerable doubts about the effectiveness of masks for protecting individuals in public spaces. While masks are probably sufficient for those who are only occasionally exposed, for those exposed for long periods on a continuous basis, a better method of local air purification is required.Thermodynamic air purification systems are currently available but are not portable and are heavy. This project will use advanced computer simulation methods and additive manufacturing (often called 3D printing) to design and prototype a lightweight device suitable for retrofit on existing HVAC systems of public transport vehicles.
