Description
DISPOSITIVO DE PURIFICACIÓN DE AIRE POR EMISIÓN DE RADICALES HIDROXILO AIR PURIFICATION DEVICE BY EMISSION OF HYDROXYL RADICALS
La presente invención se refiere a dispositivo de purificación de aire por emisión de radicales hidroxilo que permite aprovechar al máximo la vida útil de sus componentes. The present invention relates to an air purification device by emission of hydroxyl radicals that allows to maximize the useful life of its components.
Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention
Son conocidos los dispositivos de purificación de aire por emisión de radicales hidroxilo, que comprende un cuerpo provisto de un primer alojamiento para un primer cartucho reemplazable, un primer cartucho reemplazable, que contiene un reactivo susceptible de producir radicales hidroxilo por reacción con ozono, medios para provocar la emanación del reactivo desde el primer cartucho y un generador de ozono. La utilización de ozono plantea inconvenientes, pues es preciso controlar la cantidad de ozono liberada, puesto que su exceso puede resultar perjudicial. Air purification devices by emission of hydroxyl radicals are known, comprising a body provided with a first housing for a first replaceable cartridge, a first replaceable cartridge, containing a reagent capable of producing hydroxyl radicals by reaction with ozone, means for cause the reagent to emanate from the first cartridge and an ozone generator. The use of ozone poses drawbacks, since the amount of ozone released must be controlled, since its excess can be harmful.
Por otro lado, en algunos de estos dispositivos, el generador de ozono está fijado al cuerpo de manera fija, puesto que su vida útil es mucho mayor que la duración del cartucho. Por lo tanto, en este caso, una vez inútil el generador, es preciso un nuevo dispositivo. On the other hand, in some of these devices, the ozone generator is fixed to the body in a fixed way, since its useful life is much longer than the life of the cartridge. Therefore, in this case, once the generator is useless, a new device is required.
Según otra variante conocida, descrita por ejemplo en GB2485280, el generador de ozono está integrado junto con el cartucho, de modo que cuando al agotarse el cartucho o bien al acabarse la vida útil del generador, solamente es necesario adquirir un nuevo cartucho, y se puede reaprovechar el cuerpo del dispositivo. According to another known variant, described for example in GB2485280, the ozone generator is integrated together with the cartridge, so that when the cartridge runs out or when the generator's useful life is over, it is only necessary to purchase a new cartridge, and You can reuse the device body.
Sin embargo, en este caso difícilmente coincidirán la vida útil del generador y la duración del cartucho, por lo que alguno de los dos acabará siendo desaprovechado. Descripción de la invención However, in this case the generator's useful life and cartridge life will hardly coincide, so either of them will end up being wasted. Description of the invention
Para superar el mencionado primer inconveniente del estado de la técnica, ligado a la utilización de ozono, la presente invención propone un dispositivo de purificación de aire por emisión de radicales hidroxilo, que comprende: In order to overcome the said first drawback of the state of the art, linked to the use of ozone, the present invention proposes an air purification device for hydroxyl radical emission, comprising:

Se destaca que la provisión de dos cartuchos puede constituir una invención por sí misma, por lo que podría aplicarse con otros medios de generación de radicales hidroxilo, tal como se comentará más adelante. - el generador de rayos UV es un LED generador de rayos UV. - the device comprises a second housing with removable means for fixing a second cartridge, said cartridge comprising the UV generator, so that the second cartridge is replaceable independently of the first cartridge. Thus, when supplied with independent cartridges, the use of both the reagent cartridge and the second cartridge, which contains the means for generating UV rays, is maximized. It is emphasized that the provision of two cartridges can constitute an invention by itself, so it could be applied with other hydroxyl radical generation means, as will be discussed later. - The UV generator is an LED UV generator.

Breve descripción de las figuras Brief description of the figures
Para mejor comprensión de cuanto se ha expuesto se acompañan unos dibujos en los que, esquemáticamente y tan sólo a título de ejemplo no limitativo, se representan unos casos prácticos de realización del dispositivo de la invención. For a better understanding of how much has been exposed, some drawings are attached in which, schematically and only by way of non-limiting example, practical cases of realization of the device of the invention are shown.
La figura 1 es una sección esquemática de un dispositivo según una primera realización. La figura 2 es una sección esquemática del dispositivo según otra realización. Figure 1 is a schematic section of a device according to a first embodiment. Figure 2 is a schematic section of the device according to another embodiment.
La figura 3 es una sección esquemática del dispositivo según otra realización adicional. Descripción de realizaciones preferidas Fig. 3 is a schematic section of the device according to another additional embodiment. Description of preferred embodiments
Tal como puede apreciarse en la figura 2, la invención se refiere a un dispositivo 1 de
purificación de aire por emisión de radicales hidroxilo, que comprende: As can be seen in Figure 2, the invention relates to a device 1 of air purification by emission of hydroxyl radicals, comprising:
- un cuerpo 2 provisto de un primer alojamiento 3 para un primer cartucho reemplazable 4; - a body 2 provided with a first housing 3 for a first replaceable cartridge 4;
- un primer cartucho reemplazable 4, - a first replaceable cartridge 4,
- medios 5 para provocar la emanación del reactivo desde el primer cartucho 4; - means 5 for causing the reagent to emanate from the first cartridge 4;
Siendo estas características conocidas, según la presente invención, el primer cartucho contiene un reactivo susceptible de producir radicales hidroxilo por reacción con rayos UV y por el hecho de que el dispositivo comprende un generador de rayos UV 6, preferentemente con longitud de onda comprendida entre 150 y 300 nm . These known characteristics being, according to the present invention, the first cartridge contains a reagent capable of producing hydroxyl radicals by reaction with UV rays and by the fact that the device comprises a UV generator 6, preferably with a wavelength between 150 and 300 nm.
Los inventores han podido comprobar que la creación de radicales hidroxilos depende de la longitud de onda emitida. Cuanto menor sea la longitud de onda, más se crearán. Comercialmente existen lámparas de UV-A y UV-C, que se usan como germicidas. Para la realización de la presente invención, conviene especialmente una lámpara UV-C , más concretamente con una longitud de onda de unos 250 nm. Por lo tanto, con esta frecuencia se combinan dos efectos, el germicida y la alta creación de hidroxilos. Según una realización especialmente preferida, el dispositivo comprende un segundo alojamiento 7 con medios amovibles de fijación de un segundo cartucho 8, comprendiendo dicho cartucho 8 al generador de rayos UV 6, de modo que el segundo cartucho 8 es reemplazable independientemente del primer cartucho 4. Hay que destacar que esta característica supone una invención por sí misma y que por lo tanto podría ser reivindicada como tal. En particular, no sería necesario que los medios para reaccionar con el reactivo sean rayos UV, sino que podría tratarse de otros medios de generación de radicales hidroxilo, como por ejemplo un ionizador, que estuvieran alojados en este segundo cartucho reemplazable. Según otra variante, ilustrada en la figura 3, el segundo cartucho 8 también comprende un ionizador 9. The inventors have been able to verify that the creation of hydroxyl radicals depends on the wavelength emitted. The shorter the wavelength, the more they will be created. Commercially there are UV-A and UV-C lamps, which are used as germicides. For the realization of the present invention, a UV-C lamp is especially suitable, more specifically with a wavelength of about 250 nm. Therefore, with this frequency two effects are combined, germicide and high hydroxyl creation. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the device comprises a second housing 7 with removable means for fixing a second cartridge 8, said cartridge 8 comprising the UV generator 6, so that the second cartridge 8 is independently replaceable from the first cartridge 4. It should be noted that this characteristic implies an invention in itself and therefore could be claimed as such. In particular, it would not be necessary for the means to react with the reagent to be UV rays, but it could be other means for generating hydroxyl radicals, such as an ionizer, that were housed in this second replaceable cartridge. According to another variant, illustrated in Figure 3, the second cartridge 8 also comprises an ionizer 9.
Tal como puede apreciarse en la figura 1 , el cuerpo 2 está provisto de un canal 10 para la conducción del reactivo evaporado hacia el exterior, estando el generador de rayos UV 6 dispuesto en el canal 10 y también comprende un impulsor de aire 1 1 dispuesto en el canal 10 y/o medios de suministro de energía térmica a la mecha 5, siendo esta última la opción
preferida. As can be seen in Figure 1, the body 2 is provided with a channel 10 for the conduction of the reagent evaporated outwards, the UV generator 6 being arranged in the channel 10 and also comprises an air impeller 1 1 arranged in channel 10 and / or means of supply of thermal energy to wick 5, the latter being the option preferred.
También puede preverse que el reactivo esté contenido en un depósito presurizado para ser dispersado como aerosol, previendo medios de accionamiento controlados o pulsados adecuados. De este modo se puede evitar la utilización de un impulsor. It can also be provided that the reagent is contained in a pressurized reservoir to be dispersed as an aerosol, providing suitable controlled or pulsed actuation means. In this way the use of an impeller can be avoided.
Tal como puede apreciarse en las figuras, el primer alojamiento 3 es accesible por un lado del cuerpo 2 y en el que el segundo alojamiento es accesible por la parte superior del cuerpo. As can be seen in the figures, the first housing 3 is accessible from one side of the body 2 and in which the second housing is accessible from the upper part of the body.
A pesar de que se ha hecho referencia a una realización concreta de la invención, es evidente para un experto en la materia el dispositivo descrito es susceptible de numerosas variaciones y modificaciones, y que todos los detalles mencionados pueden ser substituidos por otros técnicamente equivalentes, sin apartarse del ámbito de protección definido por las reivindicaciones adjuntas.
Although reference has been made to a specific embodiment of the invention, it is evident to a person skilled in the art that the device described is susceptible of numerous variations and modifications, and that all the mentioned details can be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, without depart from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
